Zone Offroad 6-Inch Lift Kit | Nitro Shocks | 2019-2024 Ram 1500 4WD

Zone Offroad 6-Inch Front / 5-Inch Rear Lift Kit | Nitro Shocks | 2019–2024 Ram 1500 4WD | SKU: D96N

Is This for You?

This kit is for the 2019–2024 Ram 1500 DT platform 4WD owner who wants 6 inches of front lift and 5 inches of rear lift with corrected suspension geometry at a lower price point than the Fox Adventure shock version. If your Ram 1500 is a Classic (DS platform, 1994–2024 with the older body style and leaf-spring rear suspension), this kit will not fit. If your truck is 2WD, this kit will not fit. If you want Fox Adventure Series shocks instead of Nitro gas shocks, order SKU D96F. This is a complete system — crossmembers, knuckles, strut spacers, differential drop brackets, rear coil springs, and Nitro shocks included.

The Result

The Zone Offroad 6/5 system re-establishes correct caster, camber, and scrub radius geometry at 6 inches of front lift via heavy-duty crossmembers and steering knuckles. Differential drop brackets correct CV axle angles to reduce vibration and premature wear. Rear coil spring replacement (not add-a-leaf or blocks) provides 5 inches of rear lift on the DT platform’s coil-spring rear suspension. The 1-inch front-to-rear differential creates a slight nose-up rake — standard practice for trucks that carry bed loads, as payload compresses the rear under load and levels the truck. Nitro gas shocks are valved for the lifted geometry of this system.

Engineering Question: Have you confirmed your Ram 1500 is the DT platform (2019–2024 new body style) with 4WD and coil-spring rear suspension? Ram 1500 Classic (DS) owners, 2WD owners, and 2025–2026 Ram 1500 owners — this kit does not fit your truck. Need Fox Adventure shocks instead? Order D96F. Verify your platform and drivetrain before ordering.
