Will a lift kit void my Ram 1500 warranty?

Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a dealer cannot void your entire warranty simply because you installed a lift kit. However, if a suspension component fails and the lift kit is determined to be a contributing cause, that specific repair may not be covered. Document your install and use quality components to protect yourself.

Does the Ram 1500 air suspension work with a leveling kit?

Yes, but you need a kit that includes ride height sensor correction links. Without the corrected sensor links, the air suspension system will throw a fault code and may not function correctly.

What's the biggest tire I can fit on a stock-width Ram 1500 with a 3.5-inch lift?

Most 4WD Ram 1500 owners running a 3.5-inch lift report clean fitment with 33x12.50 tires. Some builds run 275/70R18 with minor trimming. True 35s typically require 6 inches of lift and attention to wheel offset to avoid contact with the inner fender and CV joints.

Can I run Eibach front and rear kits separately instead of the full bundle?

Yes. Eibach sells the front lift kit and rear lift kit individually. This makes sense if you want to phase the build or if you only need to address one end of the truck. The full bundle is slightly more cost-efficient if you're doing both at once.

Best Lift Kits for the Ram 1500 (2019-2024)

The 2019-2024 Ram 1500 DT platform is one of the most suspension-capable half-ton trucks ever built from the factory — coil-link rear on 4WD models, independent front suspension, and available air ride. That architecture is a genuine asset, but it also means lift kit compatibility is more nuanced than a typical body-on-frame truck. Spacer lifts, leveling kits, and full suspension systems all behave differently here. What you need depends on whether you're clearing 35s for trail use, leveling the factory rake for aesthetics, or building a serious overland rig. Below are the strongest options we stock, ranked by use case and value.

1. Belltech 19-21 RAM 1500 4WD 6in-8in Lift Kit w/ Trail Performance Shocks

Belltech 6-8 inch lift kit for Ram 1500 4WD

Belltech 19-21 RAM 1500 4WD 6in-8in Lift Kit w/ Trail Performance Shocks — $2973

This is the go-to system for Ram 1500 owners who want genuine 35s or 37s with aggressive stance and real off-road capability. Belltech's Trail Performance shocks are tuned specifically for loaded truck use — not just cruising — and the 6in-8in adjustable range means you can dial in stance based on wheel and tire selection. Full cab compatibility (Quad and Crew) makes this the most flexible big-lift option in the lineup. If you're building a truck that actually gets used off pavement, this is where the budget should go.

2. ReadyLift 3.5 SST Lift Kit — 2019 RAM 1500 4WD

ReadyLift 3.5 SST Lift Kit for 2019 Ram 1500 4WD

ReadyLift 3.5 SST Lift Kit — 2019 RAM 1500 4WD — $950

ReadyLift's SST system sits in the sweet spot for Ram 1500 owners who want 33s or light 35s without going full suspension overhaul. At 3.5 inches of front lift with a leveled stance, it eliminates the factory rake while preserving the coil-link rear geometry the DT platform is known for. It's a clean, well-documented install with broad forum approval — and at under a grand, it's the most practical entry point for 4WD trucks that spend time on both street and trail.

3. Eibach 19-23 Ram 1500 Rebel Crew Cab Pro-Truck Coilover Stage 2R

Eibach Pro-Truck Coilover Stage 2R lift kit for Ram 1500 Rebel

Eibach Pro-Truck Coilover Stage 2R — Ram 1500 Rebel Crew Cab — $1834

Eibach's Stage 2R system is built for the Rebel specifically — a truck that already has better suspension geometry than base Ram models but benefits enormously from upgraded valving and spring rates. The coilover setup gives you genuine ride height adjustability without sacrificing the Rebel's inherent travel advantage. If you're daily-driving a Rebel and want lift that doesn't punish you on the freeway, this is the most refined option in the catalog. Ride quality over the Stage 2 is noticeably better under load.

4. Eibach 19-23 Ram 1500 Rebel Crew Cab Pro-Truck Coilover Stage 2

Eibach Pro-Truck Coilover Stage 2 for Ram 1500 Rebel

Eibach Pro-Truck Coilover Stage 2 — Ram 1500 Rebel Crew Cab — $1587

The Stage 2 is the more accessible entry into Eibach's full coilover system for the Rebel — same platform, slightly different damper tune. For owners who primarily street drive with occasional dirt use, the Stage 2 delivers a substantial improvement over stock with genuine lift and a controlled ride. The $247 gap between Stage 2 and 2R makes the 2R a better value for serious use, but the Stage 2 is the right call if your use case is mostly street and light trail.

5. Eibach 19-21 Ram 1500 4WD Pro-Truck Lift Kit (Front + Rear)

Eibach Pro-Truck full front and rear lift kit for Ram 1500 4WD

Eibach Pro-Truck Lift Kit (Front + Rear) — Ram 1500 4WD — $1160

This is Eibach's complete spring-and-shock system for non-Rebel 4WD Ram 1500s — front and rear in one package. It's the correct choice if you want a matched lift at both ends without piecing together separate front and rear kits. Eibach's Sport Shocks are purpose-valved for lifted ride heights, which is a meaningful upgrade over running stock dampers on aftermarket springs. Solid option for a clean street-to-light-trail build on a standard 4WD truck.

6. Tuff Country 19-23 Ram 1500 2in Front Leveling Kit w/ Ride Height Sensor Links

Tuff Country 2 inch front leveling kit for Ram 1500 with ride height sensor links

Tuff Country 2in Front Leveling Kit w/ Ride Height Sensor Links — Ram 1500 — $151

Most leveling kits ignore the ride height sensor issue on air-suspension-equipped Ram 1500s — Tuff Country doesn't. This kit includes the sensor correction links required to prevent false errors on trucks with the Active-Level air system. At $151, it's the most cost-effective way to eliminate the factory nose-down rake and fit slightly larger tires without touching the rear suspension. This is the entry point, not a compromise — it's the right tool for owners who want factory ride quality preserved.

7. Tuff Country UCA Replacement Bushings & Sleeves (09-23 Ram 1500 4x4)

Tuff Country upper control arm bushings and sleeves for Ram 1500 4x4 lift kit

Tuff Country UCA Bushings & Sleeves — Ram 1500 4x4 — $66

If you're running any meaningful lift on the Ram 1500, worn or incorrect upper control arm bushings will compromise alignment and accelerate tire wear. These Tuff Country replacements are designed specifically for lifted applications — the factory bushings aren't rated for the geometry changes a 2-4 inch lift introduces. Add these to any lift kit install and treat them as a required component, not an optional upgrade. At $66, skipping them is a false economy.

How to Choose a Lift Kit for Your Ram 1500 (2019-2024)

Know your suspension variant first. The 2019-2024 Ram 1500 4WD uses a coil-link rear suspension — not a leaf spring setup. This is important because it changes how lift kits are engineered. Air suspension (Active-Level) trucks have an additional layer of complexity: ride height sensors will throw errors if not corrected. Confirm your trim's suspension package before buying anything.

Match lift height to tire goals. A 2-inch leveling kit clears 33s on a stock-width truck. A 3.5-inch SST kit opens up 33s comfortably and allows mild 35s depending on offset. Six inches or more is the floor for real 35s or 37s without rubbing. Don't buy more lift than your tire size requires — it creates geometry problems and unnecessary complexity.

Don't run lifted springs on stock shocks. It's one of the most common and most damaging mistakes on the Ram 1500. Stock shocks are tuned for factory ride height. Running them extended on a lift degrades handling and accelerates shock wear. Kits that include matched shocks — like the Belltech Trail Performance system or the Eibach Sport Shock packages — are worth the premium for exactly this reason.

Budget for UCAs or bushing replacements on bigger lifts. At 3.5 inches and above, upper control arm geometry changes enough that factory components are operating outside their designed range. Tuff Country's UCA bushings and sleeves are a low-cost fix. Aftermarket UCAs are the complete solution. Don't skip this step on bigger lifts.

If you're planning a wheel upgrade alongside your lift, check our full wheels catalog and the suspension category for additional Ram-compatible hardware.

Also worth reading: our 35s fitment guide on the Ford Maverick breaks down the same clearance logic that applies to half-ton trucks generally. And if you're considering a wheel change after the lift, the F-150 wheel fitment guide covers offset and backspacing concepts that carry over directly to Ram builds.
