About this kit
5-Inch Lift Kit with N3 Shocks, fitment-checked
Rough Country 36520 is a 5-inch lift kit for 2014-2018 Ram 2500 4WD diesel models, built around a radius arm drop bracket package, a rear box kit, and application-valved N3 series shocks. It does not fit gas engine models (part 36420 covers those) and does not fit Power Wagon. Drilling and cutting are part of the install.
This 5-inch lift kit for the 2014-2018 Ram 2500 4WD ships as four sub-kits: a radius arm drop bracket set, a rear box kit, the 5-inch N3 shock package, and diesel no-clocking hardware. Fitment covers Tradesman through Laramie Limited trims listed in the fitment section, on both rear coil spring and rear air ride suspensions. Air ride trucks can use the rear ride height arm brackets to sit up to 1-inch taller in back than in front. A track bar bracket keeps the front axle centered. Plan on drilling and cutting, and review the Mega Cab driveshaft note before ordering.
