BDS Lift Kits for 2016 Dodge RAM 1500 Trucks

BDS Suspension is now shipping a full line of suspension systems for the 2016 Dodge RAM 1500 4wd trucks. Available as 4″, 6″ and 6″ performance systems, BDS Suspension offers suspension options to meet your needs and clear up to 37″ tires. These kits carry over from 2013 models to fit up through the 2016 RAM 1500 trucks. As with all BDS kits these include the No Fine Print Warranty and are designed to improve the performance, functionality, and curb appeal of the new 2016 Ram 1500s without sacrificing the drivability owners have come to expect.

In addition to kit development, BDS has been working towards independent verification of FMVSS No.126 (electronic stability control system) compliance of all applicable BDS lift kits. Currently BDS is one of the few companies to test the late model Dodge Ram suspension lifts and confirmed compliance with FMVSS No.126 requirements. For more on BDS’s FMVSS No.126 compliancy testing see to FMVSS126. As with all BDS Suspension systems these kits are also backed by BDS’s exclusive No Fine Print Warranty as well as a 5-year, 100,000mile drivetrain protection plan keeping you safe and keeping your covered for the long haul. For more on Factory Protection Plus see 560plus.com.

4″ Standard Lift Kits: Designed for the dual purpose ride, this 4″ lift kit offers impressive handling for the driver that wants both on-road drivability and off-road performance. These systems include a pair of high clearance lasercut crossmembers, heavy duty steering knuckles, new tie-rod ends, 3-point differential drop system, differential skid plate, front sway bar link extensions, and a billet aluminum driveshaft spacer. In the rear the kit uses control arm and track bar brackets, sway bar links and your choice of new shocks. Front strut spacers and rear coil spacers are used to retain the factory ride quality while offering a level stance and room for 35″ tires.

4″ Air Ride Lift Kits: These systems are built off the standard RAM 1500 kits and are designed to work specifically with the factory adjustable air ride system to allow full functionality and the ability to raise to 6″ and lower to 2″ of lift. These systems include a pair of high clearance lasercut crossmembers, heavy duty steering knuckles, new tie-rod ends, 3-point differential drop system, differential skid plate, front sway bar link extensions, extended brake lines and a billet aluminum driveshaft spacer. In the rear the kit uses control arm and track bar brackets, sway bar links and your choice of new shocks. The system includes front and rear air bag spacers along with all the necessary air line fittings to allow it to function flawlessly and accommodate up to 35″ tires.

6″ Lift Kits: Stepping up to the 6″ lift kit, BDS offers kits ready to tackle any terrain you can throw at it. These kits are designed to fit up to 3″ tires and improve the overall ride quality. These systems includes a pair of high clearance crossmembers, CNC machined ductile iron steering knuckles, heavy duty tie rod ends, 3-point differential drop system, and differential skid plate to lock the rugged subframes together and offer extra offroad protection. Also included is a billet aluminum driveshaft spacer, front and rear extended sway bar links, stainless steel brake lines, bump stop extensions, rear control arm link relocation, rear track bar bracket, front strut/preload spacers, 3″ or 5″ rear Proride coils for your desired stance and your choice of BDS-5500 or Fox 2.0 rear shocks.

6″ Performance C/O Lift Kits: Nothing complements a BDS 6″ suspension system better than the race proven design of Fox 2.5″ remote reservoir coilovers. These have been specifically engineered to fit the 6″ BDS system and feature an external reservoir for increased oil cooling capacity and nitrogen volume for a more consistent and comfortable ride. Other upgrades to the standard BDS 6″ lift kit include front reservoir mount and rear Fox 2.0 shocks all coming together for a suspension package that is build to perform out in the desert, the trail, and on-road. These kits are designed to fit up to 37″ tires.

I have a 2016 Ram Rebel with factory air suspension. I’m told that BDS makes a 4″ lift for this truck. How does this effect the air ride system and the computer messages . also do I need to change the tires to 35’s? with 20″ wheels? I also have a warranty how does this effect the warranty? Thanks

Hey Leonard, thanks for the interest in BDS. For more info on the Air Ride kits check out 1623H. This 4″ kit is designed to retain full functionality of the Air Ride system and the adjustable ride height modes (just 4″ taller than factory in each of the modes). Our kit corrects the suspension-steering-driveline geometry with clearance for 35s. We list wheel tire recommendation on our website, for 20s the recommendation is 35×12.50 tires on 20×9 wheels with 5″ backspacing. Kits will not void your warranty and the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act is there to protect consumers from dealers trying to claim it. Additionally all of our kits come with Factory Protection Plus (FPP), a comprehensive supplemental protection plan. FPP includes BDS’s No Fine Print Warranty on hard parts, FMVSS126 ESC System compliance testing and a 5year/100k-mile drivetrain warranty.
