MaxTrac K882145 4.5"/2" Lift Kit for 2002-2008 Ram 1500 2WD

Build a Taller Ram 1500 with Room for Up to 35" Tires

Add height and a more aggressive stance to your 2002–2008 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD with the MaxTrac K882145 4.5"/2" Lift Kit. This spindle-based suspension package provides approximately 4.5 inches of front lift and 2 inches of rear lift while retaining compatibility with stock 17-inch or larger wheels. Rear blocks, U-bolts, and matched MaxTrac shocks complete the setup.

Key Features

4.5" Front Spindle Lift

MaxTrac lift spindles provide approximately 4.5 inches of front lift, adding substantial height and clearance without relying on a basic spacer-only setup.

2" Rear Lift

Rear lift blocks and U-bolts raise the back approximately 2 inches to complement the taller front suspension.

MaxTrac Rear Shocks

Includes two 2650LL-4 MaxTrac rear shocks designed to work with the increased rear suspension height.

Clears Up to 35" Tires

Designed to clear up to 35" x 12.50" tires on 8"-9" wide wheels, giving your Ram room for a considerably larger tire setup.

Stock Wheel Compatible

The kit can be used with stock 17-inch or larger wheels, making it possible to lift your truck without automatically requiring aftermarket wheels.
