Rough Country 3" Suspension Lift Kit with M1 Struts & M1 Rear Shocks for Ram 1500 4WD (2012-2018) - Red Upper Control Arms

Everything in the kit seems very high quality. The ride is a little stiff, but that's expected for an 4x4 lift kit. Everything feels "tight" since the install-thats a good thing. It seems like it's going tk be very durable, but only time will tell. I highly recommend it. Install was easier than I expected, I did it all with 2 floor jacks, jack stands and almost all hand tools (ratchets, wrenches).

I'm pleased with the look of the truck. It lifts the front 3 inches and the rear 1 inch to level it out. It gave the truck better ground clearance and I was able to run 34 inch tires. Seems like I could still clear 35s with the right wheel offset. The kit came with everything needed at a decent price. It doesn't seem to ride any rougher than factory, and I drive a lot on the interstate as well. I couldn't speak about the install, as I had a shop install it. Overall, great value for the money! 👍🏻

The end result is that the truck looks awesome now. However, getting to that point took a large amount of time and some new parts (front strut assembly replacements) and specialty tools (go-thru socket set) to modify the strut assembly for the pre-load spacer that needs to be added to the strut assembly. My truck is only 5 years old, but due to the OEM quality of the RAM struts I was trying to modify...long story short, ultimately had to replace the front strut assembly units. I get the benefit of newer, better equipment up front, but the added cost and time to the project was unexpected. I would say that the new upper control arms are quite robust and a nice replacement to the OEM upper control arms that when removed seemed light and poorly made. All things considered and if I had planned on replacing the front strut assemblies, this was fairly easy to install (minus some poorly placed frame braces that blocked access to shock/control arms bolts for removal) and realistically should take you the 6 hours the kit implies. The ride didn't seem affected better or worse, even at highway speeds, so I would consider that a success! Bottom line, the quality is great for the price point, don't be scared of the reviews you hear from other people about Rough Country. Get a couple buddies and your tools and get to work. You'll love the end result!

Switched out from spacers and this is so nice. This lift puts the truck at a nice height and brings the ride quality back to, if not better than when it was new. The spacers were good for a little height, but they made the ride very stiff, this lift fixed that perfectly.

Don't waste your money on this kit unless you have no choice. It ride horrible especially when hitting bumbs. Not good for offroad that's for sure.

Item said it should take about 6 hours to do the install. I was able to do it in a little under 6 in my drive way. The fitment was spot on, and assembly was a breeze with the right tools. The only odd tools were a 21mm crow’s foot wrench annd an 15/16” impact socket. American trucks did a great “how too” video on YouTube for this kit.

The kit I purchased was a 3 inch leveling kit for a 2017 ram 1500 four-wheel-drive. This kit made a ridiculous mess. It did fit on the truck, however, it was not functional. Had I tried to drive the truck after putting the kit on, I would’ve blown out my CV joints, as they were severely angled. The CV boot was hitting the spring on the strut. We thought the parts would settle into a better position as the hoist was lowered and the weight of the truck settled on the floor. The suspension only dropped a half of an inch as a truck was lowered to the ground. The amount of lift on the front, measured 5.25 inches instead of three. Had I completed the installation of the blocks in the rear, the front of the truck would have stood about 3 inches above rear. Scratching our heads, we checked the part numbers with the suggested parts, which were correct. We reevaluated the installation to make sure everything was assembled properly. No problems were found there, it was a ridiculously poor fit. After many hours of working on this mess, I decided to pull it all off, go up to an auto parts store and purchase stock suspension components. This leveling kit was returned to Amazon for a refund. You can see through the attached photos, some of the issues that I ran into. I know there are a lot of positive, satisfied comments, but this is what I ran into and I would recommend that people avoid it. Good luck with yours.

You will not go wrong!

No to dislike

The vehicle is up and running, and everything is working fine. The cost of the product was worth it.

I have had to replace 3 axels since installing the lift. But the truck looks good

wish I orderd this a few years ago awesome upgrade truck handles and rides great no more clunking over big pot wholes or off roading don't wait well worth the upgrade and easy install on a hoist much easier!!!
