Fitting your RAM 1500

The RAM 1500 uses coil springs in the rear instead of leaf springs, which changes how lift kits and air-bag helpers are installed. The RamBox bed storage option changes tonneau and cap fitment. The Rebel and TRX trims are factory-lifted, and the TRX is much wider, so clearance parts differ.

What fits your RAM 1500

  • Three bed lengths — 5.7, 6.4, and 8 ft
  • Caps and tonneaus sized to your bed, with RamBox needing a different fit
  • Coil-spring rear means lift kits and air-bag helpers install differently
  • Rebel and TRX are factory-lifted, TRX with a much wider track

What we check before ordering

  • The RamBox option changes tonneau and cap fitment entirely

  • Coil-spring rear suspension means no leaf-spring lift blocks

  • The TRX is much wider — standard bumpers and flares will not fit

RAM 1500 fitment questions

Does the RamBox change what tonneau fits?

Yes. Trucks with the RamBox bed storage need a RamBox-specific tonneau or cap, because the bed rails are wider. We confirm before ordering.

How is lifting a RAM different?

The RAM 1500 has coil springs in the rear, not leaf springs, so there are no leaf-spring lift blocks. It uses coil spacers or replacement coils instead.

Can you fit a lifted RAM TRX?

Yes, but the TRX is much wider than a standard 1500, so bumpers, flares, and clearance parts have to be TRX-specific.

About custom fabrication

Custom fabrication is for the jobs a catalog part cannot solve. A lift kit, an oversize tire or an older truck moves the frame, the mounts and the clearances in ways a mass-produced bumper or step was never measured for. When a bolt-on part will not sit right, we build the part that does. Bumpers, rock sliders, bed racks, cages, fender work and one-off brackets are designed around your truck's actual measurements, then welded, fitted and finished in our shop in the Rio Grande Valley.
