These preloaded, bolt-on struts deliver enhanced ground clearance, improved handling, and a smooth, adaptive ride while maintaining factory-like comfort. Designed for easy installation and durability, they come with a premium corrosion-resistant finish and a 3-year warranty. ## Description Give your truck the lift it deserves with Rough Country N3 Leveling Struts - engineered to level your front end, enhance off-road capability, and deliver a smooth, confident ride on any terrain. This high-performance upgrade eliminates the factory rake for a clean, aggressive stance while increasing ground clearance, allowing room for larger tires and better approach angles. Whether you're hitting the trails or cruising city streets, these struts offer improved handling, stability, and style all in one rugged package.Designed with durability and performance in mind, the N3 Leveling Struts feature a massive 1 3/8-inch bore, velocity-sensitive valving, and nitrogen gas charging for superior damping power and reduced shock fade. The pre-loaded coil spring comes fully assembled to simplify installation — no need for a spring compressor or disassembly. Infinitely Variable Damping technology adapts to road conditions in real time, while low-friction shock oil, a hardened chromed piston rod, and a leak-proof piston seal ensure consistent performance and long-term reliability. Finished in a premium silver powder coat for corrosion resistance and backed by Rough Country’s 3-year limited warranty, these struts combine form and function for truck owners who demand more from their suspension.Fitment Notes: Not compatible for installation with a strut spacer. Due to variances in motor weight Rough Country's N3 struts do NOT fit models equipped with a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine. Does NOT fit models with 4-Corner Air-Suspension found standard on Rebel and Limited models. This package is an available upgrade across multiple sub-models. Does NOT fit Warlock models as they are equipped with a 1-inch factory lift. Review: well worth the money and easy to install if you have proper hand tools - these leveling struts are AWESOME, they are a great value for the money spent and i even got a better deal as the box they were in was damaged but the struts were PERFECT so they discounted them. they are not stiff at all so the ride remains similar to stock so functionality is exactly the same as OEM mopar. the fit was spot on and it took me just over 1 hour of actual working time to get BOTH SIDES installed if you want to see a video go on you tube and look up my channel Thousanddollarmann and you can see just how easy the job is so far on the roads in my area the durability has been great as we are loaded with poorly filled pot holes i paired them with matching rough country shocks and a new set of 1.5 to 2" over coil spirngs for the rear keep in mind they will ride high until they settle down which took mine about 700 miles Review: Great Product - Great product.

Easy install and ride is great ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ RAM 1500 2016 - Installed 2024 *by G***S on January 31, 2025* Surprising the install went pretty smooth. The original tire gap was 5 inches from tire to wheel well with 20" rims and the 295 (33") tires. After the install the front gap was at 9". This was installed on a RAM 2016 and as I said all the bolts and parts removed easily. I was doing the wheel bearings at the same time and everything was easily accessible with a jack in the driveway. Because the wheel bearing added some pain to the install I can't say exactly what the time was but I would plan for 3 hours if you are just doing the front shocks. It may take longer due to the truck environment. I also added rear shocks with a two inch spring kit. If I hadn't the truck would have been squatted and that isn't what I was looking for. The rear was at a gap of 7" and that went to 9". This gave me 9" gap all around. Overall the system seems to ride well. I wish I could have found a complete system Made in the USA but the bilstein package had to reuse the springs on the front. I should have used bilstein for the rears for that reason. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rough Country 2" Loaded N3 Leveling Struts for 2012-2018 Ram 1500 4WD - 501028 - Rough Country 0-2.5" N3 Rear Shock Absorbers for 2002-2018 Ram 1500-23141_N - (2) Front Stabilizer Bar Links FITS Dodge Ram 1500 4WD 2006-2018, Ram Classic 2019-2024 K80894 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/162907983-n3-leveling-struts-for-ram-1500-4wd-2012-2018-ram](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/162907983-n3-leveling-struts-for-ram-1500-4wd-2012-2018-ram) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
