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.

What’s in the box

Kit contents

Priced components are sold separately here, so a worn shock or arm can be replaced on its own later.

Rough Country shares subassemblies across kits, so individual package labels can carry broader application ranges. The complete 31231 kit fits the vehicles shown in the fitment section above.
