BDS Suspension built this long arm conversion lift kit to set your 2008 diesel Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 up right with 8" of lift and clears up to 38" tires. It comes with everything to do the job: tubular long control arms with relocation brackets, progressive-rate Pro-Ride coil springs, a forged drop pitman arm and track bar bracket for steering correction up front, a rear lift block, longer u-bolts out back, and a matched set of BDS NX2 Nitro shocks.

The long lower control arms reduce caster change through wheel travel for a more controlled feel on and off road, and the system keeps the factory arm triangulation for added stability.

Features
  • Tubular long arms reduce caster change and create more controlled feeling on and off road
  • Heavy duty control arm brackets maintain proper suspension geometry
  • Front high strength progressive rate coil springs for a great ride on any terrain
  • Front track bar relocation bracket to re-position axle
  • Forged drop pitman arm to correct steering angles
  • Front sway bar correction to maintain handling performance
  • BDS NX2 gas or FOX performance series Internal Floating Piston gas shocks to improved ride and offroad performance
Specs
  • Front Lift Method: Coil Spring
  • Rear Lift Method: Block
  • Shocks Included: Yes

Notes
  • Measure rear axle tube before ordering. Some 4 inch axle models with dual overloads will require UBT4068.
  • Rear lift options will not fit dually applications.
  • If driveline vibration occurs, order either transfer case drop. NOTE: 122606 transfer case drop kit will only replace the OE bracket 52121938AA
  • Additional front driveline modification may be required.
  • Exhaust modification will be required for dual rear shock kit 122009.
  • 2500 Gas models will require modification to the front exhaust crossover pipe on driver side for proper clearance when a transfer case indexing ring kit is installed
  • If your Truck has had the steering gear box changed and the sector shaft diameter measures 1-1/2 inch-1-5/8 inch you will need to add part BDS082404 to your kit.

Perfect
Size: 9.25”, Color: black-4 pack, Size: 9.25”, Color: black-4 pack
very nice brackets..very sturdy. Fits a 1x10 board perfect. Comes with everything you need and a.cool little level also. I loved them.so much I bought another pack and decided to add more shelves for my plants. It was easier to mount the shelf to the bracket then mount the whole shelf. Holds almost all my plants some are pretty heavy.

Well made brackets
Size: 11.25“, Color: black-6 pack, Size: 11.25“, Color: black-6 pack
These are nicely manufactured in that they are all exactly the same (with no variations) and with nice countersunk holes for the provided black flat head wood screws. I used a stained 1x12 #2 whitewood (Eastern Pine) from Lowes for the shelves. With these brackets solidly installed into wall studs at 32" on center (every other stud) the 1x12 shelf will easily support a heavy book load. I like the look better than the brackets that have the vertical leg below the shelf. It looks a lot cleaner. It is probably inevitable that your stud layout will result in a bracket or two needing to be installed between solid wood studs. In this case, do NOT use the sheetrock wall anchors provided with the brackets as they will pull out of the wall under an appreciable load. Instead, get some "Snaptoggle" toggle bolts and replace the provided bolts with #10-24 x 1.25" flat head machine screws in black. These toggle bolts are incredibly strong and easy to install. I am adding a postscript to my review regarding bracket spacing recommendations. With a heavy book load, the 1x12 shelf boards don't sag with the brackets spaced 32" apart, however I have found that the brackets themselves are overstressed by about 30% (they are only rated at 80# each.) Heavy books weigh up to about 36# per lineal foot so the maximum spacing of the brackets should be 24" apart. At 32" apart, they won't pull out of the wall if they are fastened into studs but they will sag a little bit back to front under this load. So I added additional brackets in between the installed brackets and now they are 16" apart at the heavy book shelf. The load on each bracket is now less than 50# but they STILL sag about 3/16" from back to front when loaded with books! No danger of structural failure and the sag is not really noticeable.

Very sturdy and all hardware needed
Size: 9.25”, Color: black-12 pack
These brackets are very sturdy and came with all the hardware needed, including two types of wall anchors if you won’t be going through a stud, and a magnetic level which was very useful. Would recommend.
