I wish stuff went this smooth
great video,and the mechanic was awesome
This is a really good video very detailed
Great video! Nice lift kit!
Nice and smooth on film! took me 3 HRS to do the rear lift alone. LOL
Not bad for average joe
I hope it's this easy when I do it
Not too bad of a install. Did a 6 inch lift in my driveway. Took a whole weekend cause I had to cut the cam bolts holding the lower control arm to the frame. They seized on me. Had to go get new bolts and bushings. Hard part was getting the truck high enough to put the new wheels on lol. My jack doesn't go that high 😆
did mine yesterday lol. 4" and stacked a 2" level so its even higher. i had to use two jacks simultaneously and it was sketchyyyy
grasias por el video me sirvio mucho
Do you guys have a video for the 2006-2008 ram 1500s?
I'm trying to install my list and can't get pass the last two bolts that's on top of the Diff. Literally the only thing that's stopping me from finishing.
you guys make it look so easy
Joe Shook it is easy
@@THEEVERYTHINGTHINGCHANNEL in theory, yes, but not if you live where rust is a thing and if you don't have a lift. My truck is 3 years old and the only thing that went smooth was removing the wheels. After that, every bolt is a fight.
@@ridethepace6005 that’s why I’m glad I don’t live in the rust belt. I put a lift on my Tahoe a few months ago in my driveway and didn’t have to fight anything.
@@THEEVERYTHINGTHINGCHANNEL I know how you feel. My relatives in Florida give me crap about the cold.... until hurricane season nearly blows their houses away. Glad I don't live there anymore.
Sadly not all mechanics will take this much care when installing a lift.
exactly why im hesitant to have this done. I cant do this on my own..
if you want to go back stock, you can. just save the part you cut off from the rear diff support and have it welded back on.
Not a whole bunch of " Hey youtube I'm Durp Mcfaceyface" Got right to work. Subscribed
About to do this
What size tires were on the truck in the video?
Yup guess I’ll be paying a shop to do this lol
Its not hard really i did it in my driveway in 2 days
@@420chillinrastaman where did u bought ur lift kit?
I currently have this lift on my ram but now i want to go 6 inch lift. What can i add to what i already have to to be at 6inches lift? Or do i have to buy a whole new suspension lift ? Help
thats going to take 3 cases of beer and a lot of pb blaster
Why remove the axel after you remounted the differential?
Is it possible to just buy the drop brakets without the lift
If I got a 6” lift how hard is it to put on the track bar bracket?
What the difference in a ram 2011 ?
This looks like a lot of work. I’m just gonna go buy a 2500.
Whats the difference between the 09 to 11s? and these 12s and newer
i got a 2014 ram 1500 with 18x9s wheels will they fit on there? there bigger rims than the 17s it came with?
What NFL TEAM did you get these 2 mechanics off of ?
Does it still look right with my stock wheels?
275/60/20
I would have pulled axles off before dropping differential to eliminate some of the "mass". Things are easier to handle on reassembley. Shouldn't ever use impact to install axle nut, lesson from early '80s when boss & I figured out why so many repeated hub/brg failures!
I know this is a old video but I'll ask anyway, is there any issues with this kit on a 2012 short bed single cab ram , like vibration or anything?
Driggs11 No, I have a 2014 single cab short bed, 4” lift and 35s, no problems.
Who do you guys get your fasteners from? Also what platings do they have? I am in the fastener industry.
Email or call us: www.roughcountry.com/contacts/
Stock struts?
Is the 4" lift for the 2016 dodge ram 1500 big horn any different than this one or is it the same procedure? I have one sitting in my garage waiting to be installed. I just want to do my homework before I take the test!
Same kit, your truck is just a different trim level.
Will this work with 35x12.50r22?
Have you guys considered making longer struts? I know bilstein has adjustable ones, but I'd love a set of proper length n2.2 struts that would eliminate the need for a front spacer, and match the rear shocks.
Second that!
they have longer front struts as an option to replace spacers
3lb of meat and 3 six packs at 70s weather it'll get done in one fun day
Looks to be an Illinois plate. Was the shop near the Chicago land area?
No. Rough Country's headquarters is in TN.
Is that for a 2wd or 4wd?
You make it look so easy. Wanna install this kit on my truck as promotional deal? I run fishing tournaments here in Michigan and tow my boat around. I also do give aways at the end so maybe a few gift card towards your site.
Can you use different shocks and springs with this kit?
You could as long as they are rated for 4" of lift on this make and model of vehicle.
is this the other xact same for the 6" Ram lift? if I have Billstein 5100 struts set at 2.8 am I supposed to skip the strut spacer part?
If you are running the Bilstein you will need to just set it to the stock length and you will be fine to run this kit with spacer on that strut
Rough Country so you don’t need the spacer? Right, I am running 5100’s at 2.8. I am wondering if the spacer provided is required
Rough country it's called suspension lift kit for a reason.. why after all the work would you supply a 4" spacers that is gonna ride like crap ?
Do you have to relocate your rear track bar with the 4 inch lift or just the 6 inch?
4 inch lift, no. 6 inch lift, yes, and the kit comes with a relocation bracket.
WOW KANE is a Mechanic!! LOL
So many steps to end up with a small winner
I see absolutely no reason to remove the front axle shafts in this video, is there something I am missing?. I am about to do an install in the next few weeks would love to know if I can skip that part I see no benefit in removing them.
It just makes it easier to work with while dropping the diff and installing the cross members. You don't have to if you don't want to.
Was the shocks installed correctly with the body up and shaft down?
The 2.2 and V2 shocks would mount body up and piston down. Yes. The 2.0 and N3 shocks mount body down and piston up.
I have a 2008 dodge ram 1500 how much different will my 4 inch lift kit install be for my truck compared to this?
s3.amazonaws.com/roughcountry/install/92132600.pdf
Here is a copy of the install instructions of the 2008 Dodge install. It is similar to this one.
So dumb question but what is the purpose behind cutting the front diff bracket?
Make room for the differential in it's new lowered position.
What's the reason your kits can't run smaller than 20" rims. I've submitted this question multiple times on yalls website and for whatever reason nobody will give me a answer? Thanks @Rough Country
The supplied larger knuckles require a minimum 20" wheel size
Anyone have this kit installed? Any issues?
if the stock wheel size is 20", what is the recommended tire size for this application?
4-inch kit: 35x12.50 R20
6-inch kit: 37x12.50 R20
+Rough Country The video that is playing seemed to have stock ram tires. Are those 35x12.5 on the stock 20x8?
I installed the 2.5" leveling kit on my 2013 ram and right now, it has 33" tires and I tried on 35" tires....they fit! I think I'll get 35's once my 33's wear out.
So this kit lifts and levels? What if I want some rake cause I tow a camper? Why cant I use 17in rims?
Yes this kit will lift and level, as do all of our kits. If you wanted to retain some factory rake you would have to go with a larger spacer in the rear. You have to run the 20" wheels do to the larger lift knuckles
+Jeff Perillo Pretty sure they installed 35x12.50 on that truck.
Hey Rough Country what type of bull bar did you have on this ram express model because I want one of these for my truck
Rough Country when you installed did it level out the truck so it's even in the front and back
Rough Country I'm trying to find the best video for a 4" spindle lift for 95 GMC sierra 1500
nagee burks q
RC this kit fits on a 2011 ram 1500 4x4 too?
* when cutting the brake line bracket, why not spray paint that part too *when reinstalling the rotor, why not put the clips back on the studs *I don’t understand the point in removing the axle Other than that, I wished that anything I do would go so flawless
U r right i was thinking same
No need for the clips. They were needed when the truck was assembled in the factory to keep the rotor from falling off.
I dont see why I couldn't run my bilsteins set at 1.5 with my lift. Any extra insight on this would be appreciated.
If you add the Bilsteins set to 1.5" with this kit it will bind up the CV axles and create drive line and geometry issue.
@@RoughCountryTV can I run the bilstein 5100 at factory setting? And also use my rc control arms?
With this kit are you able to revert it back to stock height?
If you keep the part you cut of and have it welded back but it would be hard to get it back to perfectly stock
Nevermind 😳
Is this the same process for a 2009?
Yes the install for the 2009 is the same process.
this looks a lot easier than lifting a chevy truck.
Does the front sit a lil higher than the back?
No this is designed to level the stance of the vehicle.
I want a left for my dodge durango but dont have time
Is that even safe ? Ill like to be installed to my truck is about 3k "good stuff" but i dont think is safe i feel like im gunna be having lots of problems with suspension parts..
Yes it is safe. We would not release a product that was not safe for the consumer. This kit is designed to lift and level the stance as well as maintain stock geometry and ride quality.
I was reading the install paper and it said i cant reuse my factory 17in wheels. Why not? Its on a 16 1500 ram
Not enough clearance with the new knuckle.
Can’t even fit 20s
@@seldplanet6513 I thought 20x9 with 35s was recommended
I have an 03 ram 1500 and I was wondering if you guys sold a 4" lift kit that was less than $1,000. Not trying to be cheap but a $1,000 seems like way too much for such a small lift
jdawsnipes I'm sorry but due to the large list of vital components to achieve the 4" lift on the Dodge we were not able to produce a kit with a lower price point.
And im over here paying 4k for a 1.5 inch level. Granted its an icon performance suspension kit, and not just a pointless lift
will those front sway bar end links work with another lift kit? say Zone?
As long as it is a 4" lift kit on the vehicle these end links will be fine.
Damn. Not too excited about cutting off parts to my brand new truck. I should have just hired someone else to do it and not think about it. Kinda like surgery. You don't want to watch. Just wake up and go home.
Not gonna find any lifts where you don’t have to cut anything off the front crossmembers.
It's minor and can be welded back on if you go back to stock
if i have a 35x12.5x20 what offset do i have to have with a 4” lift kit
+12 MM offset on a 9" wide wheel
0 MM offset on a 10" wide wheel
-25 MM offset on a 12" wide wheel
is it the same if my truck is a 2017 dodge 1500 4x4?
UCA should be included in this kit also
can u use this kit on a 5.7 4x2 2014 ram 1500
We currently do not offer anything that is compatible with the 2WD models
So once you cut that rear diff bracket I guess that's the point of no return? lol... What if at some point you need to return the suspension to stock?
You are not able to return to stock once this kit is installed. You can go to a bigger kit but will not allow you to return to stock.
You can always save the piece you cut off and weld it back on. That’s why I saved mine.
How much is this kit plus installation roughly..... Would a thousand bucks get it done...?
Links to the kits are in the description. Installation varies wildly by region and shops. You can use our Dealer Locator to find a shop near you. www.roughcountry.com/dealer-locator/
How long do these lifts take to install? My mechanic is throwing on a 6" on my 2015RAM 1500 and he's well into the second day. Is this normal? Thanks!
+juniorloz 8-10 hours
+Rough Country That's about how long it took. Plus mounting the 35's on to my rims. I got to say, it's a pretty sturdy lift. She still drives 120 like it doesn't have one, compromised handling a bit but that's expected. Very happy guys, thanks!!!!
@@TunedRAMS I know this video is 5 years old, but how’s it holding up?
@@rileymay3556 I sold it back in 2017, I actually saw the truck a couple years ago and it looked fine.
@@TunedRAMS appreciate your response buddy I just bought my ram in 2017
if I have a rc leveling kit can I still use this kit. I have a 2013 dodge ram 1500 4x4.?
You will have to remove the leveling kit before you install this 4" kit. This 4" is designed to lift and level.
Derek that's why I really look over a truck that's been lifted. You never know who installed the kit and obviously you problem truly sucks. Maybe jack up the truck and support the weight on the frame and check all parts to see if any are loose.
I wish the install was only as long as the video
Who is the music by?

Lift kit like this reminds me women's heels. Only benefit is you sit higher if that's what you are after.
Easy installation my ass!!!!
I have a 2012 ram quad cab 2wd will this lift fit in my truck ?
+Acj1995artyboy Unfortunately this kit will not work on the 2WD model and at this time we do not offer a kit for that model.
+Rough Country can you tell me why it won't work ?
+Acj1995artyboy Two completely different suspensions, we would have to develop an entirely different kit to outfit the 2WD.
+Acj1995artyboy not their fault you bought a gay 2WD. This shits going on my 13 Hemi 4WD soon!
+Broxty jejejeje,yep mine too is a 2wd gay truck as you say,but i hv a maxtrac 4.5" front 1.5 rear lift kit,and looks like yours,Thats for sure,and i spent less money buying a truck for just mallcrawling....
@ rough country i want to buy this product but trying to do my research for the mean time i want to keep my stock which are 275/65/ 20 could those work until i am able to afford the new wheels and tires could i do that or do i have to replace with bigger tires and if the truck is higher than i wanted it to be after you cut those parts off there is pretty much no going back correct. is there any lift that makes it where you dont have to cut pieces out of the truck underside
If you noticed that the wheels were the stock 5 spoke black that he put back on
I installed my rear shocks upside down. 🤦🏽♂️
How much the price for this job i have ram i am interested in doing this
Mario Alberto Sanchez Legarreta about $150 an hour. I found a shop that did it for $900.
Where at?
22x12
You guys left out some steps. Im currently working on installing this. Could go more i depth on the diff removal and cross member cutting and installing.
So with the 4 inch lift and 35's, would you happen to know if this would fit in a 7 foot garage?
It's not likely to. We have had more people say that they will make them work but with a 35 it's not likely to work in the 7' garage.
Rough Country Thanks
I can fit under a 6'10" car wash with my 6" lift and 35" tire Ram.
matt34003434 Thanks....I can't seem to find a straight answer on the Ram forums....
@@matt34003434 a friend at work said the same
Sooo was there a diff drop?
Can you put this lift kit on a truck with a 3 inch body lift already installed..?
Yes you are able to run a suspension kit in conjunction with a body lift. That is no problem at all.
How much does something like this run for $
www.roughcountry.com/dodge-suspension-lift-kit-328s.html
$1,249.95 for the kit.
Rough Country 1,249 plus labor or labor included?
??
Eric Caro that’s just for the kit. Install is extra depending where you go
central cal their price doesn’t include labor. They don’t install products for consumers, they just show how to install it.
I put a 4in lift kit on my 2018 ram ecodiesel now the right rear coil spring comes out place everytime I pick my truck off the ground
If it is not properly seated in the coil bucket it will do that once you drop the axle down
It is properly seated in the buckets their almost two in gap between the top of coil spring to the spacer supplied with the kit once the vehicle is lifted up in the hoist
I emailed the pictures to support team waiting for a response
I have the same exact problem. Any solution to this problem?
@@alexanderbustillo7593 I emailed rough country pictures and they send me shorter travel shocks
how much
$1,249.95
How much will this cost me to lift my 2012 Dodge Ram? I’m sold.
$85/$95 per hour would be the industry standard.
Free, do it yourself
Hi. i have a 2wd ram 1500-2012 is there a rc lift kit for 2wd tracs??
Sorry we do not offer anything for the 2WD for the 09-Up models for the Ram 1500.
Sorry, i was wrong it is 2008 2wd ram 1500. thanks.
Hey your truck is ready...that will be 3500.00 dollars. Weeeeeee.
Gotta pay to play. If you are capable to install yourself you could save yourself some money there.
Will this fit on a 2012 2wd?
No.
Lol...
How much for this kit?
This kit retails at $1,249.95 and $85.95 for shipping.
Holly crap dodge you just couldn't put in a sold Dana axle to makes things easier
Too invasive. A nice leveling kit and 33s will be just fine. Permanent modifications are not desirable.
Sounds like a bitch truck to me
The angle of those UCA's makes my soul hurt.....
Yea idk why they don't put bigger UCA's with the kit 🤦♂️
Did mine. Easy install but it squeaks like a bastard. No help from rough country
