Front: Zone Nitro loaded struts (Strut Replacement, 4" front lift) — preassembled for straightforward installation. Rear: Zone Nitro twin-tube rear shocks paired with 3-inch full replacement coil springs to retain some factory rake. Nitro shocks feature nitrogen-charged twin-tube design, 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving, dual-welded ends, self-lubricating seals, and a 2-inch diameter steel body with black powder coat finish.
Overview
The Zone Offroad 4-inch Lift Kit for the 2012 Ram 1500 4x4 delivers aggressive stance, larger tire clearance, and OE-quality engineering for both on- and off-road performance. Designed by Zone's engineering team in Coldwater, Michigan, this system features heavy-duty steering knuckles cast in the USA, with all fabricated steel components locally manufactured and powder coated for long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance. The 4-inch lift provides clearance for up to 35 x 12.50 tires on wheels with 4.5 inches of backspacing.
Multiple configuration options are available to fit your build. Up front, choose OE strut spacers that retain the factory front struts, or opt for Zone Nitro loaded struts that come preassembled for easy installation. Rear shock options include Zone Nitro twin-tube shocks or FOX 2.0 Adventure Series shocks. In the rear, select a 2-inch coil spacer to level the truck front to rear, or 3-inch full replacement coil springs to retain some of the factory rake.
