A 2024 Ram 2500 lift kit runs 3 to 6 inches and costs about $1,300 to $6,500 in parts, or $3,000 to $9,500 installed with an alignment and sensor checks. A 3-inch kit fits 35-inch tires, and a 6-inch kit fits 37s. Diesel and gas trucks need different springs, and the Power Wagon is excluded.
Key takeaways
- The 2024 Ram 2500 4WD uses a solid front axle on coil springs with a track bar and a coil spring rear on most trims, so lifts swap coils, shocks and arms.
- BDS’s 3-inch radius arm kit for 2019-2024 Ram 2500 diesel trucks costs about $1,996 to $5,328 depending on shocks and is rated for 35-inch tires.
- Trucks with rear auto-level air suspension and the Power Wagon need model-specific kits.
- Adaptive cruise and forward camera systems may need recalibration after a lift, which typically costs $150 to $400.
- Some brands use different part numbers for 2025 and newer trucks, so confirm fitment by year.

Which 2024 Ram 2500 trucks fit a lift kit?
Most 2024 Ram 2500 4WD trucks with the standard rear coil suspension fit a lift kit, including Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie and Limited trims. The Power Wagon has its own factory-lifted suspension and is excluded from most kits. The Rebel, which also sits higher from the factory, needs kits that list it by name.
Engine matters too. Diesel kits use stiffer front coils for the 6.7L Cummins, while gas kits are rated for the lighter 6.4L HEMI. Trucks with the optional rear auto-level air suspension need a kit designed around it.
How much lift and what tires for a 2024 Ram 2500?
A 3-inch lift on a 2024 Ram 2500 fits 35-inch tires, and a 5 to 6 inch lift fits 37-inch tires. Stock tires measure about 33 to 34 inches, so a 3-inch lift with 35s is a modest, towing-friendly change.
| Lift | Typical parts | Realistic max tire | Parts price | Shop labor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 in. | Coils, shocks, track bar, radius arms on some kits | 35 in. | $1,300-$5,300 | 6-8 hrs |
| 4.5-5 in. | Coils, radius arms, track bar, rear springs, shocks | 37 in. with trimming | $2,500-$6,000 | 8-12 hrs |
| 6 in. | Coils, radius arms, track bar, driveline fix | 37 in. | $2,500-$6,500 | 10-14 hrs |
For a 2024 Ram 2500 that tows, a 3-inch lift is the better choice because it keeps hitch height and driveline angles manageable while clearing 35s.
Which lift kits are worth buying for a 2024 Ram 2500?
The right kit depends on engine, budget and how much you tow. Prices are typical 2026 street prices.
| Kit | Lift height | Price range | What’s included | Best for | Not good for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rough Country 3-6 in. | 3-6 in. | $1,300-$2,500 | Coils, shocks, track bar, arms on taller kits | Budget 35s and 37s | Premium ride quality |
| BDS 3 in. radius arm | 3 in. | $2,000-$5,300 | Pro-Ride coils, radius arms, track bar, shocks | Diesel daily drivers | Gas trucks, Power Wagon |
| BDS 6 in. radius arm | 6 in. | $3,000-$6,500 | Coils, radius arms, track bar, shocks | 37-inch tires | Heavy towing |
| Carli 3.25-4.5 in. | 3.25-4.5 in. | $4,000-$10,000 | Coils, radius arms, premium shocks | Best ride and towing | Budget builds |

What does a lift change on a newer Ram 2500?
A lift on a 2024 Ram 2500 changes more than ride height, because newer trucks rely on sensors and cameras. Plan for these items:
- Driver assist calibration. Adaptive cruise radar and the forward camera are aimed at factory height. Many shops recommend a recalibration after a lift, typically $150 to $400.
- Front driveshaft angle. Lifts over about 3 inches can cause vibration. Some kits offer a transfer case indexing ring or new driveshaft.
- Track bar and steering. An adjustable track bar re-centers the axle and helps prevent death wobble, a violent front-end shake.
- Headlight aim and speedometer. Re-aim the lights and correct the speedometer for larger tires.
Safety note: This lift changes steering, braking and trailer handling. Get a professional alignment and sensor check the same day.
How much does a 2024 Ram 2500 lift kit cost installed?
A 3-inch lift costs about $3,000 to $7,000 installed, and a 6-inch lift costs $4,500 to $9,500 installed, including alignment and typical sensor calibration, before wheels and tires. Labor runs 6 to 14 hours at $100 to $175 per hour, based on typical US shop labor rates in 2026. See our suspension lift kit installation cost guide for how shops quote it.
How do you install a 3-inch lift on a 2024 Ram 2500?
A 3-inch coil lift on a 2024 Ram 2500 takes two people about 6 to 8 hours. Follow your kit’s instructions and torque chart.
- Measure ride height and note any warning lights before starting.
- Raise the truck, support the frame on jack stands, and remove the wheels.
- Support the front axle, then disconnect the shocks, sway bar links and track bar.
- Lower the axle, swap the coils, and install any radius arms or brackets.
- Install the new track bar and center the axle.
- Swap the rear coils and shocks.
- Check brake lines and sensor wiring at full droop, and torque every bolt at ride height.
- Get an alignment and driver assist calibration the same day.
Safety note: Keep the axle supported whenever coil springs are loose.
Frequently asked questions
Will lift kits for a 2024 Ram 2500 fit a 2025?
Not always. Many kits list 2019-2024 fitment, and some brands sell different part numbers for 2025 and newer trucks. BDS, for example, lists separate kits for 2025-2026 Ram 2500 models. Confirm the exact model year on the brand’s fitment tool before ordering.
What size tires fit a 2024 Ram 2500 with a 3 inch lift?
35-inch tires fit. A 3-inch lift on a 2024 Ram 2500 4WD clears 35×12.50R18 or 35×12.50R20 tires on wheels around 0 to +18mm offset. BDS rates its 3-inch kit for up to 35-inch tires. Thirty-seven inch tires need 5 to 6 inches.
Do I need to recalibrate sensors after lifting a 2024 Ram 2500?
Yes, in many cases. The adaptive cruise radar and forward camera are aimed for factory ride height. After a lift, many shops recalibrate them for $150 to $400 so the systems work correctly. Ask your installer to check for warning lights and run a calibration.
Can you lift a 2024 Ram 2500 Power Wagon?
Yes, but only with Power Wagon-specific kits. The Power Wagon already has factory lift, Bilstein shocks and an electronic sway bar disconnect, so standard 2500 kits exclude it. Brands such as Carli and Thuren sell Power Wagon kits.
Does lifting a 2024 Ram 2500 void the warranty?
No, not the whole warranty. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Ram must show an aftermarket part caused a failure before denying that specific claim. Suspension, steering and driveline claims are easier to deny on a lifted truck, so keep install records.
The bottom line
The best 2024 Ram 2500 lift kit for most owners is a 3-inch coil lift with 35-inch tires, an alignment and a sensor calibration. Choose 6 inches only if you want 37s and accept the extra driveline work and cost.
