Heavy-Duty Radius Arms and Pro-Ride Coil Springs
The BDS kit includes front-specific Pro-Ride dual-rate coil springs tuned exclusively for diesel trucks. Heavy-duty tubular steel radius arms correct caster while maximizing ground clearance. These arms are built to handle extreme conditions and provide a solid foundation for improved suspension geometry.
