Due to differences in hub sizing this kit ONLY fits models equipped with factory 22" wheels. This package is an available upgrade across multiple sub-models. Kit is NOT recommended for AWD models due to pinion angle issues which cause drivetrain vibrations. Fitment on this page is based on the manufacturer’s application data.

About this kit

6-Inch Ram 1500 Lift Kit with Vertex 2.5 and V2 Monotube, fitment-checked

Adjustable Vertex 2.5 front struts and a V2 monotube rear shock pair, with knuckles machined for 2025 Ram 1500 4WD trucks that came on factory 22-inch wheels. Rear ride height comes from 6-inch dual-rate springs. Air-suspension, Warlock, and AWD trucks are excluded, and wheels must be 20 inches or larger.

Factory 22-inch wheels are the deciding detail on this 6-inch Ram 1500 lift kit — the driver and passenger knuckles in the box are sized for that hub, so it suits 2025 Ram 1500 4WD trucks delivered on those wheels. Damping comes from adjustable Vertex 2.5 front struts, left and right, with a V2 monotube pair at the rear over 6-inch dual-rate springs; a crossmember box kit rounds out the contents. Trucks with 4-Corner Air-Suspension and Warlock models on their 1-inch factory lift are out, AWD is not recommended, and wheels need to be 20 inches or larger.
