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 V2 Monotube Shocks, fitment-checked

Rough Country 36870 is a 5-inch lift kit for 2014–2018 Ram 2500 4WD models from Tradesman through Laramie Limited. The kit pairs dual-rate front and rear coil springs with radius arms, a track bar bracket, and two V2 monotube shock pairs. It does not fit Power Wagon models or gas engine models, and the install calls for drilling and cutting.

This 5-inch lift kit for the 2014–2018 Ram 2500 4WD ships as a full package: driver and passenger radius arms, a front box kit, a rear coil spring box kit, front and rear dual-rate coils, and two V2 monotube shock pairs. It works with both rear coil spring and rear air ride setups, and on air ride trucks the rear brackets allow up to 1-inch of extra rear height over the front. Drilling and cutting are part of the job. Mega Cab trucks with a two piece driveshaft and carrier bearing may show take-off vibration that shimming the carrier bearing addresses. A downloadable installation guide is available.
