The Tuff Country 34022KN 4.5" Lift Kit with SX8000 Shocks is a complete, bolt-on suspension upgrade built for 2009–2013 Ram 2500 4WD and 2009–2012 Ram 3500 4WD. It elevates your truck for bigger tires and stronger off-road performance while preserving a controlled, truck-like ride.

  • Shocks: Includes Tuff Country SX8000 nitro gas shocks for improved damping and control
  • Control arms: Upper and lower control arms to maintain proper alignment after the lift

  • Pitman arm: Included to ensure accurate steering geometry with the lifted setup
  • Rear geometry: Rear blocks and mounting hardware to maintain correct axle positioning
  • Track bar & brackets: New track bar bracket plus front sway bar relocation brackets for precise handling
  • Axle tube compatibility: Designed to fit Ram models with either 3.5" or 4" rear axle tubes
  • Tire clearance: Enables use of up to 36" x 12.5" tires when paired with appropriate wheel/titting
  • Finish & durability: Powder-coated components resist corrosion and withstand off-road conditions
  • Installation: Bolt-on installation with all necessary hardware included for a straightforward upgrade
  • Warranty: Backed by Tuff Country’s Limited Lifetime Warranty

This kit is designed to deliver real value: a tall, capable stance without sacrificing ride quality, plus the confidence that comes with a genuine, properly engineered suspension system. The SX8000 shocks, reinforced control arms, and track bar/bracket updates keep steering precise and geometry correct after the lift. The package also accommodates larger tires up to 36" x 12.5" for improved traction and ground clearance. For a smooth installation, note that vehicles with a 2-piece rear driveshaft may require a carrier bearing drop, and factory length shocks should be replaced with extended shocks to install correctly. With more than 35 years of suspension expertise backing every kit, this Tuff Country lift is built to endure and backed by a lifetime warranty for long-term peace of mind.
