6 Inch Lift Kit | 2012 Ram 1500 4WD | Loaded Strut / Nitro Series Rear | 3 Inch Coil Springs | Zone Offroad

Front: Zone Nitro loaded struts (preassembled strut replacement) provide a 6-inch front lift for a complete bolt-in solution. Rear: Zone Nitro twin-tube rear shocks paired with 3-inch coil springs — recommended when your truck measures approximately 3 inches tail high from the factory, delivering a more level stance.

• Nitrogen-charged twin-tube design
• 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving
• Dual-welded ends for increased strength
• Self-lubricating seals
• 2-inch diameter steel body with black powder coat finish

Overview

The Zone Offroad 6-inch Lift Kit for the 2012 Ram 1500 4WD delivers aggressive stance, larger tire clearance, and OE-quality engineering for both on- and off-road performance. Designed by engineers in Coldwater, Michigan, this system features heavy-duty steering knuckles cast in the USA, while all fabricated steel components are locally manufactured and powder coated for long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance. The 6-inch lift allows clearance for up to 37 x 12.50 tires on wheels with 4.5 inches of backspacing.

Multiple configuration options are available to match your build. Up front, choose OE strut spacers that retain the factory front struts, or select Zone Nitro loaded struts for a preassembled bolt-in replacement. In the rear, pair either front option with Zone Nitro twin-tube shocks or FOX 2.0 Adventure Series shocks. Rear lift height is selectable — choose 3-inch or 5-inch coil springs to achieve your desired stance based on your truck's factory front-to-rear ride height.

Features

• 3-inch rear coil springs included for a level rear end; 5-inch rear coil springs available for a tail-high (factory rake) configuration
• Corrects suspension, steering, and driveline geometry for on-road handling and improved off-road performance
• Heavy-duty differential skid plate for improved off-road protection
• High-strength, CNC machined replacement steering knuckles improve strength and correct steering angles
• Loaded strut or top-mount strut spacer options set ride height and maintain ride quality
• Fabricated steel components are locally manufactured and powder coated for corrosion resistance
• Heavy-duty steering knuckles cast in the USA

Important Notes

• Does NOT work with all wheel drive (AWD) models.
• This kit is not recommended for TRX models. CV shaft vibration will occur on TRX models unless the TRX struts are replaced with standard struts. Instead, consider the 4-inch lift system for approximately 5 inches of TRX lift.
• These trucks are typically between 1 and 3 inches tail high from the factory. Measure your truck's factory front-to-back ride height before ordering the rear lift height to achieve the desired stance.
• If closer to 1 inch tail high from the factory, order the 5-inch rear coils for a more level stance.
• If closer to 3 inches tail high from the factory, order the 3-inch rear coils for a more level stance.
• Stock 17-inch wheels cannot be re-installed.
• Will NOT fit 2013 models.
