I have a 2018 ram 1500 limited 2wd w/air ride that i am trying to lift. I've been told I can use the bds 4in lift for a 4x4. Is this true? Does a 2wd and a 4wd have to same suspension setup?

You can only use the rear , you would still need the spindles up front to lift it, don't use spacers lol ...

Are you going to regear now ? ...lol .... If you do , you are going to see a huge difference ... I want to get the
From Maxtrac or CST suspension ...they both sell the spindles by themselves ...
Are you wanting to get rid of the air suspension? They do sale lift links to adjust the ride height on the truck that are a simple install & adjustable.

Since my truck is only a 2wd it was only $850 ... so you should be looking around that price range as well

I do yes, with the fox shocks all around ... I did have to add the carrier bearing spacer kit which you will also need to stop vibrations do to the incorrect angle of the drive shaft ...
Also make sure they add the 1.5 spacer in the rear or you will be squatting ...
This is the carrier bearing spacer kit you will need :
