4-Inch Front / 3-Inch Rear — Asymmetric Lift Explained

This system lifts the front 4 inches and the rear 3 inches. The 1-inch front-to-rear differential creates a slight nose-up rake — standard practice for trucks that carry loads in the bed. Under load, the truck levels out. Unloaded, the front sits approximately 1 inch higher than the rear.

What’s Included

• Heavy-duty front crossmembers
• Steering knuckles
• Strut spacers
• Differential drop brackets
• Rear coil springs (3-inch lift — DT Ram 1500 coil-spring rear suspension)
• Nitro gas shocks (front and rear)
• All required hardware

Key Specifications

• Rear Suspension Type: Coil spring replacement (DT platform)
• Tire Clearance: Contact OFAS at 903-347-3875 to confirm maximum tire size for your specific wheel offset and combination
• Drivetrain: 4WD only — does NOT fit 2WD
• Application: 2020–2023 Ram 1500 4WD DT platform
• Hardware: Included

Engineering Notes

• Corrected suspension geometry: Heavy-duty crossmembers and steering knuckles re-establish proper caster, camber, and scrub radius at 4 inches of front lift
• Strut spacers: Maintain factory strut travel while achieving lift height
• Differential drop brackets: Correct CV axle angles at lifted height to reduce vibration and premature wear
• Rear coil springs: DT Ram 1500 uses coil-spring rear suspension — replacement coils required for rear lift
• Moderate geometry change: 4-inch front lift requires less caster correction than 6-inch lift — reduced stress on CV axles and steering components

Installation Notes

• Alignment required after installation: Front alignment is mandatory. Budget for a 4-wheel alignment at time of installation.
• Professional installation required: This system involves front crossmembers, steering knuckles, differential brackets, and rear coil spring replacement. Professional installation by a qualified suspension technician is required.
• Torque specs: Follow Zone Offroad torque specifications included with the kit. Do not estimate torque on steering or suspension fasteners.
