I have a 19 classic 1500 2wd. Im looking to lift it about 4 inches. I found a kit, but they are saying it will not fit the 2019 classic only fits the 09-18 ram. But correct me if I am wrong. Isn't the 19 classic the same as the 2018? SO why are they saying it will not fit? or is it just them not knowing? any help would be great.

I can't think of any reason a '19 classic would be different from a '18 or '17 - this is always a challenge when companies produce multiple generations in parallel. It's even a hassle with stuff like "cherokee vs grand cherokee" and "bronco vs. bronco 2" and "montero vs. montero sport" :(

I know for a fact that the MaxTrac lift kits fit the 2019 Classics ...but yes it's a challenge because a lot of companies don't update their websites search system to include the change from Dodge to Ram and to include Ram 1500 classics for their products lol ....

Reach out to @Nick@GotExhaust he can set you up with a kit with the upgraded fox shocks and hook you up with a forum member discount. The best part about it, it will be the right one for your truck.
Companies that don’t update their website may be slacking in other departments too causing you even more of a headache trying to return something to them that they screwed up

Which is what I think happened with the coils on my lift kit from Maxtrac .. I think they ended up sending me the wrong coilsprings for the front from what I am being told now ... of course Maxtrac is not admitting to it but looks like that might be the reason why my front end has sagged a bit ...

It’s very possible.

FCA should have updated the 1500 model to 1600 that way everybody in the aftermarket will get it right :)
If it says Classic anything from 13 up to 18 will fit suspension wise so it doesn't matter if you have a 19-21 1500 Classic, you can get the same aftermarket you see for the 13-18 RAM 1500. It's literally he same truck so i'd think the aftermarket doesn't stop with just suspension being the same.

Unless someone got a classic badge and stuck it in their 5th gen which I have seen and can’t find the picture in my phone LOL
