About this kit
6-Inch Lift Kit with N3 Shocks, fitment-checked
Rough Country 33231 is a 6-inch lift kit for compatible 2012-2018 Ram 1500 4WD and 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic 4WD trucks, shipping with an N3 shock pair. It requires wheels of 20 inches or larger and will not clear 18-inch or smaller wheels. Trucks with the 3.6L Pentastar V6, 4-Corner Air-Suspension, or Warlock trim are excluded.
This 6-inch lift kit for the 2012-2018 Ram 1500 4WD also covers the 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic 4WD trims listed in the fitment section, from Tradesman up through Laramie Longhorn. Read the exclusions closely first: the replacement struts do not suit the 3.6L Pentastar V6, air-suspension trucks such as Rebel and Limited are out, Warlock trucks carry a factory lift and are not covered, and AWD trucks are not recommended because of pinion-angle vibration. The box holds a crossmember kit, driver and passenger knuckles, the 6-inch kit boxes, and an N3 shock pair. A downloadable installation guide is available.
