Zone Offroad D97F Lift Kit — 6" Front / 5" Rear | Fox Adventure Shocks | OE 22-Inch Wheel Compatible | 2019–2024 Ram 1500 4WD | DT Platform Only

Six inches of lift. Factory 22-inch wheels retained. Fox Adventure shocks included.

Standard 6-inch lift kits are not confirmed for OE 22-inch factory wheel clearance. The D97F is. Zone Offroad specifically engineered the steering knuckle dimensions to maintain clearance with factory 22-inch wheels at 6 inches of front lift — so Laramie, Longhorn, and Limited owners don't have to choose between the lift height they want and the wheels already on the truck.

The Zone Offroad D97F delivers 6 inches of front lift and 5 inches of rear lift on the 2019–2024 Ram 1500 DT 4WD platform. Heavy-duty crossmembers and OE 22-inch spec steering knuckles correct caster, camber, and scrub radius geometry at lifted height. Differential drop brackets correct CV axle angles. Rear coil spring replacement provides 5 inches of rear lift on the DT's coil-spring rear suspension. Fox Adventure Series shocks valved for the lifted geometry are included front and rear. Running aftermarket wheels instead? Order D96F and verify your offset clearance.

Why the D97F is different from D96F — the 22-inch wheel distinction: Standard Ram 1500 6-inch lift kits are engineered for typical wheel offsets — factory OE 22-inch wheels on Laramie, Longhorn, and Limited trims have a specific offset that can conflict with standard kit geometry at 6 inches of front lift. The D97F uses steering knuckles specifically dimensioned to maintain adequate clearance with those wheels. If you're running aftermarket wheels or factory 18" or 20" wheels, the D96F is the correct kit — verify your offset clearance before ordering.

The 1-inch front-to-rear differential: The kit delivers 6 inches of front lift and 5 inches of rear — a slight nose-up rake that levels out under normal bed load and towing weight.

✅ This kit fits — 2019–2024 Ram 1500 DT 4WD

❌ This kit does NOT fit — read before ordering

Ram 1500 Classic owners — stop here: The Classic is the DS platform (older body style, leaf-spring rear suspension). This kit does not fit. Confirm your truck is the 2019+ DT new body style with coil-spring rear suspension before ordering.

⚠️ Aftermarket wheel owners: OE 22-inch clearance is confirmed. If you are running aftermarket wheels with a different offset, order D96F and verify your specific offset clears the standard kit geometry before ordering.

⚠️ Air suspension note: If your Ram 1500 DT is equipped with factory 4-corner air suspension, confirm compatibility with this kit before ordering. Text (469) 407-7538 with your trim and build sheet.

Before You Buy — Questions We Get Asked

Q: What's the difference between D97F and D97N?

Same OE 22-inch wheel compatible kit — same heavy-duty crossmembers, OE 22-inch spec steering knuckles, differential drop brackets, rear coil springs, and all hardware. The only difference is the shock package. The D97F includes Fox Adventure Series shocks with premium damping and improved consistency across uneven terrain. The D97N includes Nitro gas shocks at the lower price point. If Fox is the priority, the D97F is the right call. If the OE 22-inch clearance matters more than the shock package, the D97N delivers the same geometry at a lower price.

Q: What's the difference between D97F and D96F?

Both include Fox Adventure Series shocks and cover the same 2019–2024 Ram 1500 4WD DT platform at 6 inches of front lift and 5 inches of rear lift. The D97F uses steering knuckles specifically dimensioned for OE 22-inch factory wheel clearance — the kit for Laramie, Longhorn, and Limited owners keeping their factory 22-inch wheels. The D96F is the standard clearance version for trucks running factory 18" or 20" wheels or aftermarket wheels with verified offset clearance. If you have factory 22-inch wheels, order D97F.

Q: How do I tell if my Ram 1500 is the DT or Classic platform?

Check the rear suspension. Coil springs — DT platform, this kit fits. Leaf springs — Classic DS platform, this kit does not fit. You can also check the body style: the DT launched in 2019 with a wider, more angular body. The Classic continued the older rounded body style. Text (469) 407-7538 with your VIN and we'll confirm the platform before you order.

Q: How does this ship?

At 138 lbs this kit ships standard freight — not LTL. Free shipping to the Lower 48. Professional installation is required. Budget for a full 4-wheel alignment at the time of install and a re-torque appointment at 500 miles.

The Obsidian Take

The D97F is for the 2019–2024 Ram 1500 DT owner on Laramie, Longhorn, or Limited trim who wants maximum lift, wants to keep their factory 22-inch wheels, and wants Fox Adventure Series shocks doing the dampening. Zone Offroad engineered the OE 22-inch clearance spec directly into the steering knuckle geometry so those wheels clear at 6 inches where standard kits cannot guarantee it. Fox Adventure Series shocks valved specifically for the lifted DT geometry deliver the premium damping consistency that Nitro shocks don't. Rear coil spring replacement — not blocks — provides true 5-inch rear lift on the DT's coil-spring suspension. The 1-inch nose-up rake levels under bed load as intended.

This kit is not for Ram 1500 Classic DS owners — different platform entirely. It is not for 2025 or newer Ram 1500 owners. It is not for 2WD owners. If your truck has factory 4-corner air suspension, confirm compatibility before ordering. If you're running aftermarket wheels rather than factory OE 22-inch wheels, order D96F and verify your offset clearance. If Nitro shocks at a lower price point are acceptable, the D97N delivers the same OE 22-inch clearance geometry for less.
