Coldwater, MI—February 10, 2014— Zone Offroad Products now offers 2.5″ Adventure Series suspension lifts for 2006-2011 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD trucks. This latest addition to the Zone Offroad arsenal is designed to maximize offroad performance without taking the plunge on a full blown IFS system. The kit features heavy duty boxed upper control arms, strut and preload spacer, and differential relocation kit to allow full potential from the suspension without hindering the ride quality by overextending suspension components causing premature wear.
The issue with most leveling kits for the late model Ram 1500s is limited travel. With any more than 1″ of lift on stock components, the upper ball joint is maxed out before the suspension reaches full droop. Zone Offroad’s new upper control arms correct the issue by repositioning the ball joint to work properly at 2-3″ of lift while still allowing for a full range of motion. These new control arms dwarf the factory units and are built from 1/8″ steel, boxed and fully welded with CNC-machined bushing and ball joint cups. They use OE durometer rubber bushings and greaseable OE-style heavy duty ball joints for quiet, reliable operation and superior corrosion resistance to uniball style control arms.
Also included in this kit are a pair of pitched upper strut spacers and preload spacers to provide lift and reposition the factory strut for optimal performance. Finishing off this 2.5″ Adventure Series kit is a complete 2″ differential relocation kit to reposition the front axle to keep CV axle angles to a minimum. These components together offer impressive off-road performance out while maintaining highway drivability on the 2006-2011 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD trucks. The kit allows the clearance for 33-35″ tires to be installed.

Just wondering if you sell just the differential drop for my 2010 dodge ram 1500 on its own? I’ve already got lift struts installed and it has a vibration now and heard this is the way to resolve it.
Hey Todd, we don’t offer the just the diff brackets by themselves, but we do have a box kit with them packaged together with the strut/preload spacers, #D2300. The problem you’ll still be running into with the 2-2.5″ lift struts and diff drop is the stock upper control arms (UCA) are maxed out during droop travel. That’s why we offer them in conjunction with the #D2301 UCAs to correct the ball joint angle and allow additional travel out of the front suspension.
