Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, this kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up right with clearance for up to 37 inch Tires.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUp front the lift kit includes gas-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, heavy-duty radius arms drop brackets, forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket for steering correction, sway bar relocation, brake line brackets and precision tuned NX2 or FOX 2.0 nitrogen charged shocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 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 heavy duty air bag spacers, track bar relocation bracket to correct axle positioning, bump stop extensions, sway bar links and a matching set of NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 Performance shocks. BDS also supplies new air ride leveling sensor brackets to re-position the ride height sensors allowing it to perform just like it does at factory ride height and maintain full air bag range of motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHD Radius Arms\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn place of the factory stamped steel radius arms BDS supplies a pair of high-strength tubular radius arms.
