Built for Ram 1500 4WD owners who want a leveled stance, extra ground clearance, and premium handling without cutting or drilling. Rough Country's 3-inch lift kit delivers an aggressive look and improved off-road capability through a bolt-on design that levels your truck's factory rake. Recommended tire range is 33–34 inches, giving you room to run aggressive rubber while maintaining factory driveline geometry.

Installed and serviced at Road Runner Wheels & Tires. Most lift kits go in the same day. Call (678) 400-6467 to schedule.

What's included

  • 2.5 Kit Boxstruts — Precision-engineered front strut assembly matched to your 3-inch lift height and pre-tuned for both on-road comfort and off-road articulation.
  • Red Forged Upper Control Arms — Premium forged aluminum arms with pre-installed POM ball joints for greater range of motion, smoother handling, and a custom powder-coated red finish visible in the wheel wells.
  • M1 Loaded Strut Pair — Advanced monotube dampers engineered for superior performance, quick rebound, and precise tuning across varied terrain.
  • M1 Monotube Shock Pair — Premium rear shocks delivering consistent damping and ride quality to match the front strut geometry correction.

Important notes

  • Does NOT fit vehicles with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine — replacement struts are incompatible due to motor-weight variances.
  • Does NOT fit 4-Corner Air-Suspension models (standard on Rebel and Limited trim levels). Verify your truck's suspension type before ordering.
  • Does NOT fit Warlock models, which come equipped with a 1-inch factory lift.
  • Models retaining factory wheels should run no wider than 11.5-inch tire width. For aggressive sidewall tires, a 0.25-inch wheel spacer (SKU #1065) is recommended for additional clearance.

Why customers pick this at Road Runner

  • Bolt-on design — no cutting, drilling, or frame modifications required; professional install completes the same day.
  • Geometry-corrected — front-to-rear leveling eliminates factory rake and restores proper caster angles; alignment performed in-house as part of every lift install.
  • Rough Country lifetime warranty backed locally by Road Runner technicians who perform these installs every week.
  • Premium components included — forged aluminum control arms with pre-installed ball joints and M1 monotube shocks ship ready to bolt on.
  • Fully configured out of the box — no shock/strut selection required; kit arrives assembled and tuned for your truck.
