If you often use your RAM for off-roading, then it’s a good idea to give it any of AmericanTrucks’ 6-inch to 8-inch lift kits. With a lift kit installed, you can boost your truck’s capabilities in overcoming challenging trails. The extra 6 to 8 inches of lift increases your truck’s ground clearance, so you can aggressively drive through rough terrain with minimal risks of your chassis getting damaged. Your truck’s newly adjusted height also enables you to sport bigger off-road tires for a more powerful surface grip. Bigger tires help your truck to easily escape from deep potholes, snow, mud, and other difficult situations. If you want to enjoy the abovementioned benefits, you can start looking for the best lift kit that suits your driving needs here at AmericanTrucks. We offer a vast selection of 6-inch to 8-inch lift kits, including complete suspension lift systems that are equipped with shocks, struts, coil springs, and more. With this type of lift kit, you can experience a smooth, highway-like ride even if you’re driving over bumpy paths. We also have basic lift kit systems such as spindle lifts and lift block kits. With spindle lifts, your truck will gain a few inches of extra height by placing the new spindles lower than your steering knuckles. Meanwhile, a lift block kit helps adjust the level of your truck’s rear end, preventing it from sagging. If you’re having a difficult time choosing the best 6-inch to 8-inch lift kit for your RAM, don’t hesitate to contact us. While you’re checking out our lift kits, you may also take a look at our shocks and struts, as well as springs. These suspension components help improve your vehicle handling for increased driving comfort.
Types of Dodge Ram 1500 6 to 8 Inch Lift Kits
Once you enter the 6 to 8-inch range for lift kits, your pickings become a bit more slim. While blocks and spacers might work well for 1 to 3-inch lifts, you'll need to replace many suspension parts to achieve this height safely. So, we recommend at least replacing shocks, struts, and springs, and using parts from premium brands like Mammoth for adequate stability and performance. It's also a good idea to replace the front and rear suspension on your Dodge Ram 1500 to ensure that things are level or close to level because an imbalance could be devastating to your drivetrain at this height. While you can go with basic shocks and struts if you’re doing a lot of off-roading or prefer rugged handling, an air suspension kit is a good choice in this lift height range. It will keep the ride smooth and minimize the impact that such a large lift has on other suspension parts and the drivetrain. Plus, you can drop it down when you need to.
Benefits of a Dodge Ram 1500 6 to 8 Inch Lift Kit
We know that a 6 to 8-inch lift kit will make your truck look awesome, but is that the only benefit of going up this high?

Just make sure you don't forget to pair the kit with bigger wheels and tires to accommodate the extra height and terrain, which you now have the opportunity to do with all that space. Plus, the benefits don't stop there, and you'll find that installing a Dodge Ram 1500 6 to 8-inch lift kit can help you with your daily driving as well. There are a lot of advantages to being able to see more of the road, including knowing when to brake early to prevent an accident.
