The 4x4 Super Duty front end uses a solid Dana Super 60 axle on coil springs, located by two long radius arms that run back to the frame and a track bar that keeps it centered. Raise the truck and every one of those parts changes angle. That is why full lift systems for these trucks replace the radius arms, track bar and springs together instead of just adding height. BDS Suspension builds its kits for the 2011-2016 6.7L Powerstroke trucks two ways. Radius-arm kits keep Ford's layout with lift-specific arms. 4-link kits convert the front end to a four-link setup. Both come in versions with FOX 2.5 coil-over conversions.
What a lift does to the front end
At 4 inches and up, expect new radius arms or drop brackets, a new track bar and caster correction. A lift also does not fix worn parts it does not replace. Ball joints and tie-rod ends are separate wear items on this front end, and worn ones contribute to death wobble, so check them while the axle is apart. The track bar ball joint is the most common death-wobble cause on 2005-2016 4x4 Super Dutys, which is one more reason a lift that includes a new track bar makes sense. After radius arm work, an alignment is mandatory, not optional.
Choosing a height
Pick the height for the tires you want and how you use the truck. The BDS 2.5-inch kits are the mild end, offered plain, with radius arms, or with a FOX coil-over conversion. The 4 and 6-inch kits come in radius-arm and 4-link versions, each with or without FOX coil-overs. The 8-inch kits are 4-link only. If you already run a BDS lift, you can add FOX 2.5 coil-over conversion upgrades sized for 2.5, 4, 6 and 8-inch lifts, and a 4-link conversion upgrade that fits 4 to 6-inch lifts. If the truck spends most of its life towing heavy, call us and talk it through before you pick a height.

Fitment notes
The BDS kits here are listed for 2011-2016 6.7L Powerstroke 4WD trucks. The front suspension design is shared with 2005-2016 4x4 Super Dutys, which is why the upgrade parts list 2005 starts. None of it is for 4x2 trucks, which use Twin-I-Beam. Left and right radius arms are different parts, so check what arrived before you start. Diesel trucks run a different front spring rate than the gas trucks, so stick with kits listed for the diesel. Plan on an alignment after install, and verify by VIN if you are unsure of your build.
Frequently asked questions
Should I pick a radius-arm kit or a 4-link kit?
Both locate the front axle; they just do it differently. The radius-arm kits keep Ford's layout with lift-specific arms, and the 4-link kits convert to four links. At 8 inches, BDS lists 4-link kits only. If you start at 4 inches and may change later, BDS also sells a 4-link conversion upgrade that fits 4 to 6-inch lifts.
What is the FOX 2.5 coil-over conversion?
It swaps the separate coil spring and shock for FOX 2.5 coil-over units. BDS offers it inside complete kits and as a standalone upgrade sized for 2.5, 4, 6 and 8-inch lifts, so you can add it later if you already have a BDS lift.
Do I need caster correction after a lift?
At 4 inches and up, plan on it, along with new radius arms or drop brackets and a new track bar. The SPE Motorsport fixed caster kit on this page is one way to get there. Either way, finish with an alignment.
Will a lift kit cure death wobble?
Only if it replaces the worn part. Kits that include a new track bar take care of the most common cause. Worn ball joints and tie-rod ends are separate, so inspect and replace them too, or the shake can come back.
