Hey Everyone,

I am new to this form, and I couldn't find this topic, but if it is already out there, please comment with a link.

Anyways, I ordered a 2023 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Laramie 4x4 Crew Cab Short Bed and looking to do some upgrades when the truck arrives. One of the upgrades I am looking at is lifting/leveling the truck. Through my research, I have would four lift kits that I am interested in; however, I am open to other suggestions, so if you have any, please comment below.

The four lift kits currently on my list are:
- Rough Country 3.50-Inch Bolt-On Suspension Lift Kit with Lifted N3 Struts and Premium N3 Shocks
- Rough Country 3.50-Inch Bolt-On Suspension Lift Kit with V2 Monotube Shocks
- Rough Country 3-Inch Bolt-On Suspension Lift Kit with Premium N3 Shocks
- ReadyLIFT 3.50-Inch SST Suspension Lift Kit

I believe I am correct in my research, but correct me if I am wrong, but I believe these four lift kits will meet my short criteria:
- Does not require any modification (Bolt-On and go)
- Will fit with 35's on 22's without any rubbing
- Good on-the-road lift kits

Any advice or input on these lift kits would be greatly appreciated, along with any other recommendations.

I heard that 35's will clear with ReadyLIFT. Also, on their website, it mentions that it will clear with 35's. Stock are 33's
35s will work with almost any strut lift, as long as you have the wheel offset right. Just steer clear of the strut spacers and you'll be okay.

The ReadyLIFT SST 3.5" uses strut spacers.

One of these will be everything you need except for the UCAs to get your alignment back to stock.
I ran this and zone UCAs with my 315s for a few thousand miles on my 4th gen with no issues. Added a zone 1.5" body lift because I wanted more height for aesthetic purposes only. Got a net of 4.5" lift with only bolt on parts like you desire (no cutting on the cross member)
