6" Lift Kit with Fox 2.5" Shocks suits Ram 3500 (19-24) by BDS Suspension
Raise your RAM 3500 diesel powered truck to the next heights with this 6-inch radius arm lift kit from BDS Suspension. Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, this kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 37" tires.
Up front the lift kit includes diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, heavy-duty replacement radius arms, forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket for steering correction, sway bar relocation, brake line brackets and precision tuned Fox Performance Elite 2.5" Remote Reservoir DSC Shocks.
At this height, the transfer case needs to be indexed to allow use of the factory front driveshaft so an indexing ring and new transmission crossmember are supplied. In the rear this kit utilizes a high-strength steel lift block, longer u-bolts and a matching set of Fox Performance Elite 2.5" Remote Reservoir DSC Shocks.
HD Radius Arms
In place of the factory stamped steel radius arms BDS supplies a pair of high-strength tubular radius arms. These arms mount into the factory location and offer caster adjustment for a wide range of lift heights along with an OE-style rubber bushing at the frame mount for smooth, quiet, service-free operation.
Pro-Ride Coil Springs
A pair of full-length, diesel-specific, progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs are supplied to provide the correct lift height and smooth, predictable ride across various terrains.
Steering Correction
To optimize steering geometry once lifted, a forged drop pitman arm is used to minimize the steering angle and pair it with a heavy duty track bar drop bracket to keep them in phase through suspension travel while recentering the front axle.
Wheel Backspacing & Offset Calculator
Convert wheel backspacing in inches to offset in millimetres, or the other way around. Find the right measurements for your wheel setup.

BDS wheel positioning guidance
Meeting a backspacing limit does not guarantee wheel fitment. Check wheel diameter, tyre size, brake clearance, suspension and all kit-specific requirements.
Results are approximate. The calculation allows an additional 1 inch for the wheel's two rim flanges (approximately 0.5 inch each). Actual flange dimensions vary between wheels.
Understanding wheel measurements
What is wheel backspacing?
The distance from the wheel mounting surface to the outermost edge of the inner rim flange, measured in inches.
What is wheel offset?
The distance between the wheel mounting surface and the wheel centreline, measured in millimetres.
Why does wheel width matter?
Two wheels with the same backspacing but different widths will have different offsets.
Why does BDS specify backspacing?
It helps position the wheel relative to steering and suspension parts, but is only one part of confirming fitment.
