About this kit
3-Inch Lift Kit with N3 Shocks, fitment-checked
Rough Country 31231RED is a 3-inch lift kit for 2012–2018 Ram 1500 4WD and 2019–2024 Ram 1500 Classic 4WD. The package pairs red forged aluminum upper control arms with pre-installed POM ball joints, a loaded strut pair, boxstruts, and an N3 shock pair for the rear. It does not fit the 3.6L Pentastar V6, models with 4-corner air suspension (standard on Rebel and Limited), or Warlock models with the 1-inch factory lift.
This 3-inch lift kit for the 2012–2018 Ram 1500 4WD and 2019–2024 Ram 1500 Classic 4WD bolts on without cutting or drilling, and it levels the front against the rear to take out the factory rake while adding ground clearance. Kit contents: red forged upper control arms with POM ball joints already pressed in, a 2.5 boxstrut set, a loaded strut pair, and an N3 shock pair. Trucks keeping the factory wheels should stay at 11.5 inches of tire width or narrower; a 0.25 wheel spacer (SKU 1065) buys clearance for aggressive sidewalls. A downloadable installation guide is available.
