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 N3 Shocks, fitment-checked

Rough Country 36830 is a 5-inch lift kit for 2014-2018 Ram 2500 4WD diesel trucks, built around dual-rate front and rear coil springs, driver and passenger radius arms, and an N3 shock set. It does not fit Power Wagon or gas engine models, and the install calls for cutting and drilling.

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 rear coil spring or rear air ride setups. The box holds dual-rate front and rear springs, both radius arms, front and rear coil spring hardware boxes, a track bar bracket to recenter the front axle, and application-valved N3 shocks. Air ride trucks can run the rear as much as 1-inch above the front using the ride height arm brackets. Mega Cab trucks with a two-piece driveshaft and carrier bearing may show take-off vibration; shimming the carrier bearing down addresses it.
