Requires minor drilling. On vehicles equipped with a two-piece driveshaft and carrier bearing as on the Mega Cab there is the potential for take-off vibration depending on the severity this can be corrected by shimming down the carrier bearing. Fitment on this page is based on the manufacturer’s application data.

5-Inch Lift Kit with V2 Shocks, fitment-checked

Rough Country 34970 is a 5-inch lift kit for 2011–2013 Ram 2500 4WD and 2011–2012 Ram 3500 4WD, built around V2 monotube shocks, front coils, control arm drop brackets, a pitman arm, and black U-bolts. Minor drilling is part of the job. It does not fit dually models, and it does not fit Power Wagon models.

This 5-inch lift kit for the 2011–2013 Ram 2500 4WD and 2011–2012 Ram 3500 4WD covers Tradesman through Laramie Longhorn trims listed in the fitment section. The box carries front coils, a pitman arm, black U-bolts, a drop bracket box kit, and two V2 monotube shock pairs, so the front and rear damping arrives with the kit. Drop brackets reduce control arm angle and a track bar bracket keeps the front axle centered, while factory 17-inch and 20-inch wheels can stay on the truck. Plan on minor drilling, then work from the downloadable Rough Country installation guide.
