Body Armor 4x4 2.5 Inch Strut Spacer for Dodge Ram 1500

The Body Armor 4x4 2.5 Inch Strut Spacer lifts compatible Dodge Ram 1500 trucks 2.5 inches using a bolt-on design that preserves factory ride quality and can be reversed without permanent modification. Fabricated from 1/4-inch steel with Grade 10 hardware, it is rated to clear tires up to 35 inches. It fits 2006–2012 Ram 1500 4WD models and 2019–2024 Ram 1500 4WD and 2WD models, excluding Rebel, off-road package, and air suspension trims.

Clearance Without Compromise

A 2.5-inch lift creates enough clearance to run tires up to 35 inches in diameter, a meaningful jump in traction and ground clearance for off-road use, without requiring new control arms, extended brake lines, or alignment corrections beyond a standard toe adjustment. For Ram 1500 owners who want more capability without a full suspension overhaul, a strut spacer is often the most straightforward path to that clearance.

Bolt-On Installation, Reversible Anytime

The spacer mounts above the factory strut using existing hardware points, so no cutting, welding, or custom fabrication is required. Grade 10 fasteners and 1/4-inch steel construction mean the assembly holds up to the same stresses the factory strut mount was designed for. Because nothing is permanently modified, the spacer can be unbolted and the truck returned to stock ride height, which is useful if the truck changes hands or if factory warranty service requires it.

Stock Ride Character Retained

Strut spacers that reposition the factory strut rather than replacing it tend to preserve the damping curve and spring rate the truck was tuned for from the factory. The result is a lifted truck that still rides and handles close to how it did before the lift, a practical consideration for a daily-driven Ram 1500 that also sees trail use.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This strut spacer suits 2006–2012 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD owners and 2019–2024 Ram 1500 4WD or 2WD owners who want a 2.5-inch lift with minimal installation complexity, the ability to run up to 35-inch tires, and the option to return to stock height without permanent changes to the suspension.

This spacer does not fit 2013–2018 Ram 1500 models, any Ram 1500 Rebel trim, any Ram 1500 equipped with the off-road package, or any Ram 1500 with factory air suspension. It is also not a full suspension lift; buyers seeking new shocks, extended control arms, or more than 2.5 inches of lift will need a different solution.

Common Questions

Does this fit my 2020 Ram 1500 with the standard suspension?

The Body Armor 4x4 2.5 Inch Strut Spacer fits 2019–2024 Ram 1500 4WD and 2WD models with standard suspension. It does not fit 2019–2024 Ram 1500 trucks equipped with the Rebel trim, the off-road package, or factory air suspension. Confirm your trim and suspension type before ordering.

What is the largest tire this lift will clear?

The Body Armor 4x4 2.5 Inch Strut Spacer is rated to clear tires up to 35 inches in diameter. Actual clearance can vary depending on wheel offset and backspacing, so verify fitment with your specific wheel and tire combination before purchasing oversized tires.

Will I need special tools or fabrication to install this spacer?

The Body Armor 4x4 2.5 Inch Strut Spacer uses a bolt-on design that does not require cutting, welding, or permanent modification to the truck. Standard hand tools are sufficient for installation. A front-end alignment is recommended after any suspension height change.

Can I remove the spacer and go back to stock ride height?

Yes. Because the Body Armor 4x4 2.5 Inch Strut Spacer mounts above the factory strut without permanent modification, it can be unbolted and the truck returned to its original ride height. The factory strut and all OEM mounting points remain intact throughout.

Does this spacer replace the factory strut or mount on top of it?

The Body Armor 4x4 2.5 Inch Strut Spacer mounts above the factory strut, repositioning it rather than replacing it. The factory strut, spring, and damper remain in place, which is why the spacer preserves stock ride quality and damping characteristics.
