RELEASE THE KIT ALREADY BDS!

[Joeyp]

I gave up and bought a new streetbike

 

[PorBoy]

Lol why is it that I never run into any other Jersey Ram owners that are modded lol.

 

[Joeyp]

I never see any 19 Rams that have been modded either...I spent more on aftermarket parts on my bike than the truck....only because BDS drags their feet.

 

[SilverSurfer15]

Why don’t you guys just buy other brands if you actually want a lift? BDS isn’t the gold standard.

 

[PorBoy]

Lol it’s not that serious for me as for now my Mopar one is taking care of business.

 

[RAM lIMITED 2019]

4 inch BDS kit is out for the 2019 ram 1500 with air ride

 

[Joeyp]

I'm going to pull the trigger on it!! I can't afford the coilovers but it will a much better ride than the Readylift!!!

 

[PorBoy]

^^^. When you do please let us know. Maybe we can meet somewhere and I can see if I also should pull the trigger.

 

[Joeyp]

Its a no brainer but if you have the MOPAR kit not sure why you'd want to upgrade? The Readylift ride is ok but I want more...plus a bit more height

I'm in Monmouth County

 

[PorBoy]

I’m looking for a wee bit more height. I’m in Millville.

I am sure, lot of people are desperately waiting for the BDS lift kit as I am, but just wondering if anyone heard recent news or something.

I emailed them the other day about buying the 4” lift around June and they replied it should be out if all goes as planned by then.

 

[PorBoy]

^^^. Well if it goes well for you, then welcome to the 4” BDS gang.

Have some one tried the 4” BDS kit in a 2019 ram 1500 limited with air ride? If so, with 35X12.5R22 runs ok? No vibration nor sluggish ride? What about MPG change? Thanks!

 

[Joeyp]

If you have the 3.92 it wont be sluggish

The nature of adding bigger tires is having reduced power. Depends on what you consider sluggish. I run 35x12.5 with a 3.21 and it runs fine to me

You would notice a big difference with the 3.92...especially with the 35's

Thank you SColang22, that is what I wanted to read, I also have a ram truck but with an air suspension so I was wondering if it was good idea to lift it with the BDS suspension 4", I also have a gear ratio of 3.92. Thanks again!

the gear ratio matters but there’s other factors at play such as Rolling resistance (weight, width, tread aggressiveness) of wheel tire setup and transmission (4spd vs 6 vs modern 8). If you have 12 wides and aggressive mud tires and try to run 75 on the highway all the time through rolling hills it will become annoying. But that’s an extreme case really, I wouldn’t be worried about anything with a 4” kit and normal usage. Especially with a moderate wheel/tire setup.

I wouldn’t say it’s a bad decision.
