Built for Ram 1500 4WD owners who want a commanding stance without the hassle — Rough Country's 3-inch lift kit delivers aggressive good looks, increased ground clearance, and a bolt-on installation that goes in the same day. This kit levels your truck from front to rear, eliminates factory rake, and clears obstacles on rocky trails while maintaining a balanced, custom appearance. Supports up to 33"–34" tires depending on your wheel setup and tire sidewall choice.

What's included
- 2.5" Kit Boxstruts — Pre-engineered front suspension frame that accepts the lift components with no cutting or drilling.
- Loaded Strut Pair — Factory-matched front struts pre-assembled and tuned for the 3-inch lift height.
- N3 Shock Pair — Nitrogen-charged rear shocks that maintain damping control over rough terrain and provide a smooth on-road ride.
- Red Forged Upper Control Arms — High-strength aluminum arms with pre-installed POM ball joints, finished in red powder coat for a custom look that stands out in the wheel wells.
Important notes
- Does not fit 3.6L Pentastar V6 engines — replacement struts are incompatible due to motor-weight variances.
- Does not fit 4-Corner Air-Suspension — standard on Rebel and Limited models; confirm your trim before ordering.
- Does not fit Warlock models — they come equipped with a factory 1-inch lift.
- Tire width on factory wheels: Models retaining OE 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.
