About this kit

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

Rough Country 31240RED is a 3-inch lift kit for Ram 1500 4WD (2012-2018) and Ram 1500 Classic 4WD (2019-2024). The kit pairs red forged aluminum upper control arms with an M1 loaded strut pair and an M1 monotube shock pair. 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 Ram 1500 Classic 4WD (2019-2024) bolts on without cutting or drilling, and it can be returned to stock later if you choose. Contents cover the boxed strut assembly, red forged upper control arms with pre-installed POM ball joints, an M1 loaded strut pair, and an M1 monotube shock pair, so front-to-rear rake is addressed along with ride height. Confirm your engine and suspension type against the exclusions first, then work from the downloadable Rough Country installation guide.
