Rough Country 3.5-Inch Lift Kit for Ram 1500 (2019–2026) — 2WD & 4WD

Elevate your Ram 1500 with a purpose-built 3.5-inch lift that preserves factory geometry while delivering a commanding, level stance. This Rough Country lift kit is engineered for 2019–2026 Ram 1500 pickups in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, offering real ground clearance, improved approach/departure angles, and a more confident road presence without the headaches of a complicated install.

Engineered for durability and precise handling

Key components include forged aluminum upper control arms with pre-installed POM ball joints, designed to reduce binding and maintain correct alignment through the lift. This translates to steadier steering response, more predictable cornering, and better suspension articulation on rough terrain. The front-to-rear leveling ensures a symmetrical stance that not only looks aggressive but also improves stability under load and during cornering.

Two shock upgrade options to tailor your ride

Rough Country offers a choice of N3 nitrogen-charged shocks or M1 monotube shocks. The N3s deliver a balanced blend of damping and robustness ideal for daily driving and light-to-moderate off-road use. The M1 monotubes provide enhanced heat dissipation and fade resistance for pursuing longer-duty off-road sessions. Either option keeps the ride controlled, reduces dive under braking, and maintains body control across uneven surfaces.

Simple bolt-on installation, with no cutting or drilling

The kit is designed for a straightforward bolt-on installation, so you stay on the trail or on the street without fabricating brackets or trimming metal. For upgraded performance or when returning to stock, the setup is fully reversible.

Fitment and compatibility you can trust

Specifically engineered for the Ram 1500 model years 2019 through 2026, this kit covers both 2WD and 4WD configurations and remains compatible with Rebel trim models. Note: it does not fit the 3.6L V6, TRX, Warlock, or models equipped with factory air suspension or the Off-Road package. Double-check your Ram 1500 build before ordering to ensure a perfect fit and the intended ride height.

What you get and how it helps you

Along with the durable shocks and aluminum control arms, the kit includes all necessary mounting hardware, designed to withstand the rigors of off-road travel and daily driving. The result is higher ground clearance that reduces bottoming out on rough trails, a leveled front end that enhances aerodynamics and high-speed stability, and improved approach angles that make steep driveways and trail entries less intimidating.

Service and local support you can rely on

As Magwarehouse's official Rough Country importer in New Zealand, this kit ships ready for installation and is supported by a local service network.

Who should consider this lift kit

This kit is ideal for Ram 1500 owners who want a noticeable, level stance and better off-road capability without compromising daily drivability. It’s especially appealing if you regularly tackle dirt roads, rocky trails, or need more ground clearance for gear and payload. The Rebel trim compatibility also means you won’t have to miss out if you’ve got that sportier look.

Design approach and real-world value

Rough Country’s 3.5-inch lift is about more than height; it’s about preserving suspension geometry and ride quality. The forged upper control arms reduce suspension bind, maintain proper camber curves, and help keep tires in optimal contact with the road surface under load. The end result is a more controlled, confident ride—both on highway and off-road adventures—without a rough or unsettled feel when cruising.
