About this kit
6-Inch Lift Kit with Vertex Struts, fitment-checked
Rough Country 33257 is a 6-inch lift kit for compatible 2012-2018 Ram 1500 4WD trucks and the listed 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic 4WD submodels. Front lift comes from Vertex 2.5 adjustable struts; the rear uses 6-inch coil springs with a V2 monotube shock pair. Wheels must measure 20 inches or larger, and the struts do not work with the 3.6L Pentastar V6.
This 6-inch lift kit for the 2012-2018 Ram 1500 4WD also covers the listed 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic 4WD submodels. Up front you get left and right Vertex 2.5 adjustable struts built for 6 inches of lift, replacement knuckles, and a crossmember box kit; the rear side of the box carries 6-inch coil springs and a V2 monotube shock pair. Check the exclusions first: the struts are not matched to the 3.6L Pentastar V6, 4-corner air suspension (standard on Rebel and Limited) is not supported, Warlock models with their 1-inch factory lift are out, and AWD trucks are not recommended. A downloadable installation guide is available.
