This is a guide to do a DIY installation of a Rancho Quick-Lift Leveling Kit for the 2011-2014 Ram 1500 4x4. This install takes about 3 hrs and assumes you don't have a very deep knowledge of trucks; for an experienced mechanic, it's likely to take about 1 ½ hrs. The Rancho Quick-Lift is a leveling kit; it is not a true lift, but instead levels the factory rake that the manufacturer has determined is best for you. This kit raises the front 2 ¼” to be level with the back of your pick-up. It may not seem like much, but as you plow through ruts, mud and snow, it could be the difference between scrapping, stuck, and going through – or, losing a mud-flap in ruts with a factory set-up. Compared to the traditional spacer “pucks” that are available, Quick-Lifts give you the advantage of a superior coil spring and a nine-setting easily-adjustable shock for various driving conditions. This is still well within the limits of 3” travel of the stock CV joints and does not involve altering major components as with conventional lifts. It also allows for an increase in tire height for additional ground clearance without wheel-well interference. 275/60/R20’s (33” diameter) to 283/65/R20’s (34.6”diameter) will work with this kit.
