About this kit

5 Inch Lift Kit with M1 Shocks, fitment-checked

Rough Country 36840 is a 5 inch lift kit for 2014-2018 Ram 2500 4WD diesel models, built around dual-rate front and rear coil springs, replacement radius arms, and two pairs of M1 monotube shocks. It does not fit Power Wagon or gas engine models, and the install calls for drilling and cutting.

This 5 inch lift kit for the 2014-2018 Ram 2500 4WD covers Tradesman, SLT, Big Horn, Lone Star, Outdoorsman, Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, Laramie Limited, and Limited trims. The box holds front and rear 5 inch dual-rate coils, driver and passenger radius arms, front and rear box kits, and two M1 monotube shock pairs. A track bar bracket recenters the front axle, and both rear coil and rear air ride trucks are supported, with rear bracket adjustment up to 1-inch above the front on air ride only.
