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.
