4" BDS Lift on 2021 Ecodiesel - Issues!

[ib4elk]

Not sure if anyone else has put a lift on their ED, but I went ahead and had the 4" BDS lift kit installed just over a year ago. This required replacing the drive shaft with a new one as it needed to be around 2" longer than the stock. Less than a year into it my front axle broke. I have heard that it was due to the lift but I do know that I bottomed out the front hard on a backroad (didn't see the ditch) so not sure if that started it but about 2 months after that my front axle was broke and had to be replaced. I got my drive shaft from Drivelines Plus out of Indiana - they were like the only ones around that could make the longer drive shaft and BDS stated it should work. Drivelines Plus just did a repair on an ED that also had a lift and the front axle broke. They created a bracket to more securely hold the front axle in place. Still waiting to hear how this holds up...

Anyone else have or heard of this issue? I have heard that it may be a common issue when lifting the ED. I can't believe I am going to have to go back to either a Hemi, or Cummins to be able to get a lift installed...

Did you ever got it fix? Did Drivelines Plus ever made the right shaft and braket needed for this lift kits to actually be reliable on our 4x4 Ecodiesel Rams? I'm inquiring because I wanted to lift my truck with BDS 4" kit with air ride suspension but don't want problems with the drive shaft, Thanks in advance..
