Built for Ram 1500 4WD owners who want 3 inches of lift, level stance, and 33"–34" tire clearance without cutting or drilling. This bolt-on kit combines forged upper control arms, pre-installed ball joints, and your choice of N3 struts to deliver aggressive ground clearance and front-to-rear leveling in one package. No factory rake — just a bold, balanced stance that works on the trail and on the street.

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 — Form the backbone of your front suspension geometry and work with the loaded strut pair to deliver the full 3-inch lift.
  • N3 Shock Pair — Nitrogen-charged shocks tuned for smooth on-road comfort and off-road compliance, with the option to upgrade to M1 monotubes for premium performance.
  • Forged Upper Control Arms — Premium aluminum arms with pre-installed POM ball joints that enhance strength, improve articulation, and arrive ready to bolt on with no extra assembly required.
  • Loaded Strut Pair — Pre-assembled struts paired with the boxstruts to complete the front-end leveling and raise your ride height 3 inches.

Important notes

  • Does not fit Ram 1500 models with 3.6L Pentastar V6 engines — replacement struts are incompatible due to motor-weight variance.
  • Does not fit models equipped with 4-Corner Air Suspension (standard on Rebel and Limited trim). Confirm your vehicle's air-suspension status before ordering.
  • Does not fit Warlock models, which carry a factory 1-inch lift.
  • Models retaining factory wheels should run no wider than 11.5" tires. For aggressive sidewall tires, a 0.25" wheel spacer (SKU #1065) is recommended for additional clearance.

Why customers pick this at Road Runner

  • Bolt-on design — no cutting, drilling, or welding. Most installs finish the same day.
  • Forged upper control arms with pre-installed ball joints arrive ready to bolt in, cutting labor time and assembly hassle.
  • Professional alignment performed in-house as part of every lift install — ensures correct caster, camber, and toe after your truck is raised.
  • Rough Country lifetime warranty backed locally by our experienced team, who install these kits every week.
  • Shock and strut options — choose N3 nitrogen shocks for balanced ride quality, or upgrade to M1 monotubes for premium off-road performance.
