Engineered for Maximum Performance
Rough Country’s 5-inch Lift Kit is tailored for 2014-2018 RAM 2500 trucks with both rear coil springs and rear air ride suspension. On air ride models, the innovative rear air bag spacer works seamlessly with the factory air system, allowing adjustable rear ride height up to 1 inch higher than the front. The rear sensor arm relocation bracket ensures precise height adjustments with multiple mounting points for your desired ride height.
Optimized Geometry and Comfort
Keeping suspension components at factory angles is crucial for ride quality. This kit includes precision-engineered radius arms with durable rubber bushings for superior vibration absorption. By retaining the factory progressive rate coil springs, the system maintains Dodge's carefully calibrated weight distribution and ride comfort. Paired with Rough Country’s N3 series shocks, this kit delivers balanced performance on and off-road.
