## Description

Rough Country's 3" Bolt-On Kit offers easy installation and aggressive good looks at an incredible value. Take your truck to new heights with this excellent option for RAM 1500 pickups. This kit features a set of high-quality, tubular Upper Control Arms designed to make alignment adjustments easier and Clevite rubber bushings for enhanced durability. These arms are designed to promote a factory-like geometry by keeping the ball joint at optimum angles after lifting. This design allows for an improved, greater range of motion from the ball-joint, with less stress, wear and tear. Rough Country's 3" Bolt-On Kit features a set of durable front and rear spacers to provide lift height from front to rear. Once installed, this kit gives your truck plenty of ride height for up to 33" tires while offering a clean, level look from front to rear. This all-inclusive kit comes with everything you need, and installation is a piece of cake compared to other kits on the market! Featuring a 100% bolt-on installation process that requires zero cutting or drilling, this kit can be installed using common tools in a home garage, and allows the truck to be returned to stock at any time if so desired. Best of all this kit features Rough Country's Lifetime Replacement Warranty. Note: Does NOT fit "TRX" models or models with factory air ride suspension. Optional N3 struts do NOT fit V6 models. Models retaining factory wheels are advised to run no wider than a 11.5" wide tire. For additional clearance on models equipped with aggressive side wall tires a 0.25 wheel spacer is recommended.

Review: Great Quality - 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).
Review: Great for the Money - 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! 👍🏻

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value for the quality, instructions could use more detail
*by C***S on May 3, 2019*

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!
