Important notes before you order
- Does not fit v8 gas engine models.
- Does not fit dually models.
- Requires cutting and drilling.
- Models equipped with factory overload springs will need to have the overload removed for the new block and u-bolt kit on vehicles equipped with a two piece driveshaft & carrier bearing as on the mega cab, there is the potential for take off vibration, depending on the severity, this can be corrected with shimming down the carrier bearing.
TRU specialist notes
From the Trucks R Us fitment and install team, beyond the manufacturer's information.
- Plan for a professional wheel alignment after installing any lift or leveling kit.
- Going to bigger tires as well? Speedometer recalibration may be needed, and some tire and wheel combinations need trimming. Check the recommended wheels and tires, or ask us before you order.

Overview
Featuring a brand-new control arm solution, Rough Country’s Dodge 2500 Control Arm Drop Bracket System improves driveline geometry. By utilizing a set of beefy drop brackets we've eliminated the steep mounting angle often seen on 5in and larger kits. By mounting your stock arms to the reduced angle provided by our Drop Bracket System, you'll gain better ride quality and better caster angle for increased drivability. This 5in kit includes our versatile N3 Shock Absorbers! Our N3 shocks are custom tuned specifically for this application - meaning you get a shock designed specifically for the weight and maneuverability of your truck. Incorporating "Velocity Sensitive Valving" technology, these shocks utilize a 10-stage variable valving process that allows for a super smooth highway ride and outstanding control in rugged off road situations from the same shock, with no need for further adjustment.
