BDS 2019-2026 RAM 1500 2" LEVELING KIT

Improve the stance, tire clearance, and suspension performance of your 2019–2026 Ram 1500 4WD with the BDS Suspension 2-Inch Leveling Kit. This premium leveling system raises the front of the truck to reduce the factory rake while improving suspension control for daily driving, towing, overland travel, and off-road use.

Unlike a basic spacer leveling kit, this BDS system upgrades the front suspension with performance coilovers and heavy-duty upper control arms. Choose between the FOX 2.0 Performance Series or FOX 2.5 Performance Elite package, with matching FOX rear shocks for balanced damping and control at all four corners.

FOX Suspension Package Options

FOX 2.0 Performance Series Coilovers and Rear Shocks

The FOX 2.0 Performance Series package is an excellent choice for daily-driven Ram 1500 trucks that also see towing, dirt roads, jobsite use, and recreational off-road travel.

FOX 2.0 front coilovers replace the factory strut assemblies with application-specific dampers designed to provide improved ride quality, suspension control, and heat management. Their aluminum monotube construction and internal floating-piston design help maintain consistent damping during changing road and trail conditions.

Matching FOX 2.0 Performance Series rear shocks provide balanced front-to-rear suspension performance and are specifically valved for the Ram 1500.

FOX 2.0 Performance Series features include:

• Application-specific FOX front coilovers
• Matching FOX 2.0 Performance Series rear shocks
• 2-inch aluminum monotube shock bodies
• Internal floating-piston design
• Improved heat dissipation
• Vehicle-specific FOX valving
• Increased suspension control
• Comfortable and controlled on-road ride
• Improved performance on rough roads and trails

This package is ideal for truck owners who want a noticeable suspension upgrade without requiring external reservoirs or adjustable compression damping.

FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Coilovers and Rear Shocks

For maximum adjustability and off-road performance, upgrade to the FOX 2.5 Performance Elite package. This configuration includes FOX 2.5 Performance Elite front coilovers and matching FOX 2.5 Performance Elite rear shocks.

The larger 2.5-inch shock bodies and external reservoirs increase fluid capacity and improve cooling during demanding driving. FOX Dual Speed Compression adjusters allow the suspension to be tuned for changes in terrain, vehicle load, towing weight, and driving speed.

Independent high-speed and low-speed compression adjustment allows the shocks to be softened for everyday driving or firmed up for added control during aggressive off-road use.

FOX 2.5 Performance Elite features include:

• FOX 2.5 Performance Elite front coilovers
• Matching FOX 2.5 Performance Elite rear shocks
• Large 2.5-inch aluminum shock bodies
• External reservoirs for increased fluid capacity
• Improved heat dissipation during extended use
• Dual Speed Compression adjusters
• Independent high-speed and low-speed compression adjustment
• Application-specific FOX valving
• Heavy-duty shock shafts
• Adjustable front spring preload and ride height
• Fully serviceable construction
• Maximum front-to-rear suspension control

The FOX 2.5 Performance Elite package is ideal for high-performance off-road driving, overland builds, trucks carrying additional equipment, and owners who want maximum suspension adjustability.

Heavy-Duty BDS Upper Control Arms

Both FOX suspension packages include heavy-duty BDS upper control arms engineered to improve strength, suspension travel, and alignment capability at the new ride height.
