2 inch Leveling Lift Kit Compatible with 2006-2024 Ram 1500 - 2 in

In this review the focus is on a practical and affordable way to raise the front of a Ram 1500 by 2 in without major suspension surgery. The kit reviewed here is a set of forged front strut spacers designed for 2006-2024 Ram 1500 4WD and 2005-2011 Dakota 2WD that aims to improve ground clearance and allow larger wheels. The bottom line: it is for owners who want a straightforward, reliably machined spacer to lift the front by about 2 in, with strong materials and a relatively quick installation that does not require cutting or strut disassembly.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Fits 2006-2024 Ram 1500 4WD and 2005-2011 Dakota 2WD, so owners of those trucks can expect correct fitment for a 2 in front raise.
• Material and strength: Forged 6061-T6 aluminum alloy construction gives sturdy, durable support under the strut for off-road use and larger tire fitment.
• Precision machining: CNC processing to 0.02mm tolerance ensures accurate hole positions for straightforward alignment during installation.
• Hardware quality: Comes with pre-installed heat treated 12.9 grade studs to withstand suspension loads and reduce loose fastener risk over time.
• Ease of installation: Designed for a 1-2 hour install window with no cutting or drilling and no need to disassemble struts or coils on most trucks.
• Functionality: Provides additional ground clearance to tackle low obstacles and gives a more aggressive stance while enabling larger rims and tires.

Who It's For

This kit is best for Ram 1500 4WD owners (2006-2024) and Dakota 2WD owners (2005-2011) who want a modest, reliable front lift to improve clearance and accommodate larger tires without a full suspension overhaul. It suits owners who prefer bolt-on upgrades and value precise CNC machining and forged aluminum strength.

It is not intended for those seeking more than a 2 in front lift, or for vehicles outside the listed model years. Drivers who need a comprehensive suspension redesign, different lift geometry correction, or who expect the exact lift-to-thickness ratio to be linear should consider full suspension kits instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Forged 6061-T6 aluminum delivers a durable, corrosion-resistant spacer that holds up to off-road use.
• CNC machining with tight tolerances provides accurate hole placement for easier installation.
• Pre-installed heat treated 12.9 grade studs reduce hardware failure risk and speed assembly.
• Simple 1-2 hour install with no cutting, drilling, or strut/coil disassembly required on most trucks.

Cons

• The kit raises only the front by approximately 2 in, so it may not be enough for owners wanting a larger lift or complete suspension geometry correction.
• Because of suspension geometry the effective ride height and lift ratio may not be a direct 1:1 with spacer thickness.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The leveling lift kit is a solid, cost-effective choice for Ram 1500 and compatible Dakota owners who want a modest 2 in front lift without complex work. Its forged 6061-T6 construction, precise CNC machining, and high-grade studs make it a reliable upgrade for improved clearance and allow larger tires. It represents good value when a small, bolt-on lift is the goal, but those needing larger lifts or full geometry changes should look at dedicated suspension systems.
