Read the full description

Built for Strength and Ride Height: Featuring durable lifted knuckles, this lift kit delivers enough clearance to run up to 35-inch tires with proper wheel spacing, enhancing both your truck's presence and capability. Heavy-duty differential drop brackets, sway-bar links, bump stop extensions, and a precision-engineered sub-frame assembly maintain optimal suspension geometry for a smooth, factory-like ride even after lifting. Reinforced front and rear steel crossmembers add rugged strength and aggressive styling, while our fabricated rear blocks offer superior durability compared to traditional cast iron designs.

Premium Shock Performance for On and Off-Road: Included in the kit are Rough Country's premium N3 shocks, highly tuned 10-stage variable nitrogen-charged shocks that balance exceptional off-road handling with smooth, controlled highway comfort. Featuring an 18mm spring-loaded piston rod and a larger 54mm shock body for faster heat dissipation and lasting performance.

Confidence with Every Mile: Backed by Rough Country's Limited Lifetime Replacement Warranty, this 5-inch suspension lift kit ensures long-lasting quality and peace of mind for your Dodge Ram 1500.
