Fit check
- Generation. The 2009-2018 RAM 1500 (DS) and the 2019 redesign (DT) use different front suspension, so match the years in the kit's title. The RAM 1500 Classic, sold from 2019 to 2024, is the older DS truck; check that a kit lists it before ordering.
- 2WD or 4WD. Kits are built for one or the other. On 4WD trucks the wider track needs longer front axle shafts, and the inner CVs often have to be machined for full travel. Some 2WD kits add new shock towers.
- Air suspension. If your truck has factory air suspension, call us before ordering a long travel kit.
Common questions
What else do I need? Widening the track pushes the tires out past the factory fenders, so plan on fiberglass front fenders, and on wheels inside the kit's backspacing limit.
Long travel or mid travel? At LTW, a long travel kit replaces the lower control arms. That's what widens the track and adds the most travel. A mid travel kit keeps the factory lowers and track width.
Can I install it myself? Plan on a shop install. Expect fender work, and on 4WD trucks, axle and CV work.
Choosing
- Standard or race width. Race kits push the track out further for more travel and are usually 2WD only.
- Wheels and tires. Each kit lists a maximum tire size and backspacing. Stay inside both.
