About this kit
3-Inch Lift Kit with N3 Shocks, fitment-checked
Rough Country 31231 is a 3-inch lift kit for Ram 1500 4WD (2012–2018) and Ram 1500 Classic (2019–2024). The package pairs forged aluminum upper control arms with an N3 shock pair, a loaded strut pair, and 2.5 boxstruts. It does not fit the 3.6L Pentastar V6, models with 4-corner air suspension, or Warlock models.
This 3-inch lift kit for the Ram 1500 4WD (2012–2018) and 1500 Classic (2019–2024) bolts on without cutting or drilling, so the factory rake comes out over a driveway weekend. The box holds forged upper control arms with pre-installed POM ball joints, an N3 shock pair, a loaded strut pair, and a 2.5 boxstrut set. Confirm your engine and suspension before ordering: the replacement struts are not for the 3.6L Pentastar V6, 4-corner air-suspension trucks, or Warlock models with their 1-inch factory lift. A downloadable installation guide is available.
