Requires drilling and cutting. 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 with shimming down the carrier bearing.

About this kit

5-Inch Lift Kit with M1 Monotube Shocks, fitment-checked

Rough Country 36740 is a 5-inch lift kit for 2014-2018 Ram 2500 4WD models with a diesel engine. The kit pairs driver and passenger radius arms with two M1 monotube shock pairs, front and rear box kits, and a track bar bracket. It does not fit Power Wagon models or gas engine models, and installation calls for drilling and cutting.

This 5-inch lift kit for the 2014-2018 Ram 2500 4WD covers Tradesman through Laramie Limited trims listed in the fitment section, and works with either rear coil spring or rear air ride setups. Replacement radius arms hold a closer-to-factory arm angle on rubber bushings, while the included track bar bracket keeps the front axle centered. Air ride trucks can use the rear ride height brackets to set the back up to 1-inch above the front. Plan on drilling and cutting, and read the Mega Cab driveshaft vibration note before you start. A downloadable installation guide is available.
