About this part

M1 Adjustable Leveling Struts, fitment-checked

M1 struts arrive preset at 2 inches of front lift and cover 2012–2018 Ram 1500 4WD trucks along with the 2019–2024 Ram 1500 Classic. Three things rule a truck out: the 3.6L Pentastar V6, the 4-Corner Air-Suspension package, and Warlock trim. 3 Year Limited Warranty.

This is Rough Country's monotube M1 platform, preset at 2 inches of front lift and covering two generations of the same truck: 2012–2018 Ram 1500 4WD from Tradesman and Express through Laramie Longhorn and Limited, plus the 2019–2024 Ram 1500 Classic. The exclusions are worth reading twice: trucks with the 3.6L Pentastar V6, anything running the 4-Corner Air-Suspension package, and Warlock trim are all outside the fitment, and a strut spacer cannot be stacked with these. A downloadable installation guide is available, and the job usually runs 2-3 hours.
