2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn 4WD

For the rear, I've got a set of Rough Country 0-3" N3 rear shock absorbers. N3 Rear Shocks | 0-3" | Ram 1500 2WD/4WD (2019-2024)

Confirm my understanding or correct me if I am wrong: This makes it possible for me to add 2" spacers to the rear coil springs, right? Or do these shock absorbers lift the rear of the truck all by themselves?

For the front, I've got a set of Rough Country 3.5" N3 loaded struts, and a new set of UCAs for a lift.

Thanks for your help!

Yes you are correct…those shocks are for a 0-3” lift, regardless if its from spacers or longer slrings.

The rear shocks themselves will not lift it at all.

Do I need a differential drop kit for my 3.5" RC front struts? I read brandonjansen's thread about lifting 4th gens, and it mentions a diff drop kit for lifts over 2.8". Does that apply to 5th gen Rams as well?

Let's see if @Quick_Shifter will chime in, he's quite well versed on lifting these trucks.

Hey OP Rust Kuntry is literally the worst garbage you can put on your truck. reach out to Nick he'll get you proper components.

^^^^^This^^^^ Quickshifter and Nick@GotExhaust will get you in the right direction. I have bought parts from Nick, cant beat his customer service or prices. Tell him what look/lift you want he can get you there. Quickshifter specializes in Ram suspension, if he was closer to me would have had him do any/all work needed

I’m lucky that my trip to Quick_Shifter’s shop, ak_trucks_pa, is 2.5 hours for me & have posted before that I would happily drive twice that far. I look forward to my trips to his shop like going to see an old friend that just happens to be awesome mechanic with old school work ethnic but all the modern tools.
I’m in North VA. but might end up in North Carolina, I would get a hotel room close to his shop & use some vacation days to be able go to his shop, not practical for some but for a shop you can trust completely it is
definitely worth the trip for me!

@Quick_Shifter is about 6 hours away from me but the only person I'd let touch my trucks. He did my 23 Ram and it was perfect. Now I'm bringing my 24 Ram. We'll worth the trip!!!!!

I own an AV company that does home automation and fun stuff we don’t need and have a client in Kentucky. We’ve done 8 houses for him and his last house was on an island off the coast of South Carolina. With people moving everyday it’s not that crazy to ship a truck.

5th gens can go to 3” safely. Still requires an angle correcting upper control arm above 2.5”.
The 5th Gen trucks DO NOT react well to the 3.5” height. Skip it and go to 4” if more than 3” is needed. Highly recommend staying far away from anything suspension related with the name Rough Country on it. We have various preferred vendors on this forum that offer member discounts with tried and true packages.
@Nick@GotExhaust is the go to vendor for suspension parts. Benny @AllMoparParts.com is the go to for oem upgrades to name a few

@Quick_Shifter advices is spot on. either go up as far as 3" with angle correcting UCA's or for straight to 4". Nothing in between. Stay away from ROUGH Country, we have had many customers switch from RC to a better lift provided by us. Message me with the amount of lift height you would like and how you use the truck and I can discuss options and pricing with you.

This…I dealt with Nick for my 4 inch Super Lift with bilstein’s on all four corners.
