Do You Have A 2012 Ram 1500? Lift It With BDS!
BDS Suspension has introduced a new 6-inch suspension lift kit for the ’12 Ram 1500 and its based on their popular high-clearance kit design. The kit centers around a pair of one-piece, 1/4-inch-thick, laser-cut high-clearance crossmembers that are tied together by a differential skidplate. BDS says that this system improves ground clearance and off-road capabilities. The kit also includes replacement steering knuckles, bumpstop drops, anti-sway bar links, three-point differential drop system, strut relocation brackets, and front stainless steel brake lines.
Due to the OE ride height variances, BDS allows you to customize your desired stance by offering both 3- or 5-inch rear Pro-Ride coils that are capable of being smashed totally flat and will come back to normal ride height. The rear for this Ram lift is completed with a track bar bracket, upper link relocation brackets, and sway bar links. Rear 5500 Series hydraulic shock absorbers are included with the kit and BDS by Fox 2.0 Series gas shocks are available as an option.

Canadian Kane Fraser Pilots UTV 1802 into Baja 1000 Internet History
Kane Fraser, a paraplegic, decided to take on the 2011 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 in a Polaris RZR XP 900 after watching Dust to Glory multiple times and being inspired by the Man in Motion, Rick Hansen. “This was our first Baja 1000, our first time racing, and for me my first time racing in any sport ever,” said Kane Fraser. The team would add over 100 miles to their total mileage after a wrong turn, and in turn would add hundreds of followers as they headed towards their ceremonial finish at 2am Sunday morning, 36 hours after the start Friday afternoon. “We wanted to finish, we didn’t care, nothing would stop us. We kept going and did finish! We were a little bug eyed, but we finished,” said Heino Seibert from Spectra Power Sports, Kane Frasers Co-Driver. Kane Fraser went into this adventure with three goals, “In terms of what I wanted to accomplish, for me number one was to raise $25,000 for the Rick Hansen Foundation. Second, is to create awareness of the abilities of people with disabilities. And third, to inspire one disabled person to really move ahead with their goals and strive to achieve their goals, because as long as you try and try you will succeed, you just have to keep moving forward.”
