4” Front Lift Kit for RAM 1500 DT

Bilstein 5100 + Spring (100+Kg extra load)

Looking to achieve a proper 4 inch Front Lift Kit for RAM 1500 DT without spending thousands on a full suspension kit? Our Bilstein 5100 Ride Height Adjustable Shocks paired with Heavy-Duty 50mm Lift Coil Springs offer a reliable and cost-effective way to raise your truck’s front end—perfect for off-roading, towing, or achieving that aggressive leveled stance.

How It Works:

This Front Lift Kit for RAM 1500 DT setup utilizes Bilstein’s 5100 adjustable struts, which allow you to change the vehicle’s ride height by repositioning the spring perch on the shock body. When paired with taller coil springs, this combination increases both ride height and overall suspension performance.

Technical Details:

• Adjustable Spring Perch Grooves:
  The Bilstein 5100 struts have multiple snap-ring grooves to raise the coil spring seat. This changes preload and ride height without using external spacers.

• Lift from Preload + Spring Length:
  The combination of higher spring preload (via strut adjustment) and longer coil spring gives you 4 inches of total front lift.

• Maintains Ride Quality & Safety:
  Unlike spacer lifts, this method preserves proper suspension geometry, full shock travel, and factory ride characteristics.

• More Travel, More Capability:
  This setup increases bump and droop travel, which means better off-road articulation and control.

Installation Note:

• Spring Compression is Required:
  Installing this setup requires safely compressing the coil spring to mount onto the Bilstein strut. This job should only be done by trained professionals using proper spring compressors to avoid injury or damage.

• Upper Control Arms:
  For optimal alignment and suspension travel with this amount of lift, Upper Control Arms are recommended.

What’s Included:

• Bilstein 5100 Ride Height Adjustable Front Struts

• Upgraded 50mm Front Lift Coil Springs (Apache or Equivalent)

Factory Compatibility:

• Designed for RAM 1500 models with independent front suspension (IFS).

• Can be used with factory rear suspension or combined with rear lift options.

NOTICE OF DISCLAIMER–Lift and Levelling Kits

Not all lift kits are legal to install on your vehicle. It is the customers’ responsibility to check regulations pertaining to their vehicle and warranty coverage, prior to purchasing and the installation of all lift and levelling kits.

Lift and levelling kits may interfere with vehicle functions including but not limited to stability control, auto levelling functions and chassis clearance issues.

The bigger the lift or levelling kit that is fitted increases the chances of the factory CV joints and ball joints wearing out prematurely. High articulation CV joints are available to minimize this issue if required.

In certain circumstances the factory inner CV joint boots may slip off the end of the shaft due to the change in the angle after a front lift has been fitted. In most circumstances fitting an improved CV boot clamp to the CV boot will assist with this matter.

Ball joints on the upper control arms need to be lubricated after installation and re-greased at each service interval. Without adequate grease they will wear out prematurely and will need to be replaced. It is the customers responsibility to ensure that the ball joints are always kept greased.

It is paramount that all lift kit components that have been installed, be re-torqued after the first 100 kms to adjust for any settling of the suspension components; then rechecked at each service interval to ensure that everything is correctly torqued. This is the customers responsibility as loose components can cause damage to your vehicle.

It is suggested that the customer does their own research prior to purchasing and requesting the installation of lift and levelling kits to their vehicle.
