Fabtech Performance Lift System
2019–2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn, HFE, Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, Limited, Lone Star, Rebel, Tradesman
K3093
Overview:
The Fabtech 6-inch Basic System with Performance Shocks is engineered specifically for 2WD Ram 1500 models from 2019 to 2021, including Big Horn, HFE, Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, Limited, Lone Star, Rebel, and Tradesman trims. This lift kit is ideal for Ram owners who want to maintain a stock-like ride quality while upgrading to larger tires and wheels for enhanced off-road capability and aggressive styling. By relocating the factory suspension components with heavy-duty bolt-on brackets, this system ensures durability and long-lasting performance without sacrificing ride comfort or factory electronic stability control functionality.
Designed to provide a balanced combination of lift, ground clearance, and handling, the Fabtech Basic System allows you to fit up to 35-inch or 37-inch tires on aftermarket 20-inch wheels with minor trimming. It retains the factory coil springs and coilover shocks through the use of precision-engineered spacers, delivering a smooth highway ride with improved off-road clearance.
Key Features:
This Fabtech lift system incorporates advanced engineering and quality materials to enhance your Ram 1500’s suspension performance and appearance. Key features include:
- 6-inch lift height suitable for 35/12.50R20 and 37/12.50R20 tires on 20x9 wheels with 5-inch backspacing (minor trimming required)
- Heavy-duty 1/4-inch thick steel lower control arm crossmembers with an arched design for maximum ground clearance
- Extended length ductile iron steering knuckles that maintain near-stock track width and ensure proper factory electronic stability control (ESC) operation
- Front coilover spacers constructed from thick-wall tubing and 1/4-inch steel, utilizing factory coilover shocks for a stock-like ride quality
- Heavy-duty sway bar drop brackets that preserve factory link angles to prevent binding and maintain positive road feel
- Steel rear coil spring spacers that retain factory coil springs for original load carrying capacity and ride comfort
- Bolt-on rear track bar bracket to re-center the rear axle and maintain factory roll center geometry at the new ride height
- Extended length twin-tube performance shocks designed to complement the lift and provide improved damping
Construction & Design:
Fabtech’s 6-inch Basic System is built with durability and precision in mind. The lower control arm crossmembers are fabricated from 1/4-inch thick steel and feature a fully welded box design for added strength and rigidity. These crossmembers are arched to maximize ground clearance, essential for off-road driving. Four adjustable alignment cams allow for a wide range of alignment adjustments, ensuring proper suspension geometry after installation.
The steering knuckles are made from ductile iron, a material known for its toughness and resistance to impact, and are extended in length to maintain proper track width and ESC functionality. The coilover spacers use thick-wall tubing and heavy steel plates to securely lift the front suspension while retaining the factory coilover shocks, preserving the original ride characteristics.
Rear coil spring spacers are crafted from steel to maintain the factory spring rate and load capacity, ensuring that the rear suspension performs reliably under various load conditions. The sway bar drop brackets and rear track bar relocation bracket are engineered to maintain factory suspension angles and geometry, preventing binding and preserving handling dynamics.
Installation & Fitment:
This lift kit is designed for straightforward installation using bolt-on brackets and factory mounting points, minimizing the need for cutting or welding. Minor trimming of the fender liners or inner wheel wells may be required to accommodate larger tires and wheels. It is important to note that this system is not compatible with factory air suspension, OEM 22-inch wheels, heavy-duty bearing options, or 2019 Ram 1500 Classic models. Additionally, the kit requires aftermarket 20-inch wheels or larger and cannot be used with OEM wheels and tires.
Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper alignment and suspension geometry. After installation, a full alignment is necessary to optimize handling and tire wear.
