About this kit

3-Inch Lift Kit with M1 Shocks, fitment-checked

Rough Country 31240 is a 3-inch lift kit for 2012-2018 Ram 1500 4WD and 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic 4WD trucks. It ships with M1 loaded struts, an M1 monotube shock pair, and forged upper control arms, and it bolts on with no cutting or drilling. It does not fit the 3.6L Pentastar V6, 4-Corner Air Suspension models, or Warlock trims.

This 3-inch lift kit for the 2012-2018 Ram 1500 4WD and the 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic 4WD works as a bolt-on job with no cutting or drilling. The M1 loaded strut pair handles the front lift, an M1 monotube shock pair sets up the rear, and forged aluminum upper control arms with pre-installed POM ball joints keep the geometry and articulation in check. The result is a leveled front-to-rear stance that can be returned to stock later. Check the exclusions first: the 3.6L Pentastar V6, 4-Corner Air Suspension trucks, and Warlock models with the 1-inch factory lift are all outside this fitment.
