Ram 1500 Leveling Kit Guide: Lift Options, Tire Sizes, and More

The Ram 1500 is one of the most stylish full-size pickups on the market — and with a leveling kit, it looks even better. Whether you're driving a classic 4th-gen Ram or the newer 5th-generation DT platform, MotoFab has leveling kit options designed for select Ram 1500 models.

THE RAM'S FACTORY RAKE

Like most full-size trucks, the Ram 1500 comes from the factory with a slight front-to-rear rake — on many Ram models, this is around 1.5 inches. A leveling kit corrects this, creating a flat, aggressive stance that looks far more intentional than stock.

RAM 1500 SUSPENSION TYPES: WHY IT MATTERS

Before choosing a leveling kit, you need to know your Ram's front suspension type. Conventional suspension — most 4th-generation and 5th-generation 4WD Ram 1500 trucks use an independent front suspension with coilover-style strut assemblies. Leveling kits commonly use spacers designed for these assemblies. Air suspension — certain 2013 and newer Ram 1500 models feature factory four-corner air suspension, which requires a compatible leveling solution. Standard coilover spacer kits are generally not interchangeable with air suspension systems. Always confirm your truck's year, model, drivetrain, and suspension configuration before purchasing.

LIFT HEIGHTS AVAILABLE

1.5" leveling kit — minimal but effective correction for the factory rake. 2" leveling kit — a popular choice for Ram 1500 owners looking for a more level stance and additional tire clearance. 2.5" leveling kit — a more aggressive front lift that may provide additional clearance for larger tires. Available lift heights and compatibility depend on your specific Ram model and suspension configuration.

TIRE FITMENT FOR A LEVELED RAM 1500

Stock Ram 1500 tire sizes vary by year and trim, with common sizes including 265/70R17 and 275/55R20. With a leveling kit: 2" level — approximately 33" tires, such as 285/70R17 or 275/70R18, may fit on many configurations. 2.5" level — certain 33"–34" tire combinations may be possible depending on wheel specifications and available clearance. Wheel offset, wheel width, tire construction, and suspension geometry all affect fitment. Negative-offset wheels push the tires farther outward and can increase rubbing at the fenders. Also verify your wheel bolt pattern, as 4th-generation and 5th-generation Ram 1500 trucks use different patterns.

AFTER INSTALLATION

Always get a front-end alignment after installing a leveling kit on your Ram. Changes in front ride height can affect suspension geometry, and proper alignment is essential for even tire wear and stable handling. Shop Ram 1500 leveling kits at motofablifts.com.
