Tough Dog front coil springs for the RAM 1500 DS (2013-2023) and DT non-air (2019-on), sold per pair with 50mm of lift.
Warlock note: the RAM Warlock comes standard with a 25mm (1") lift, so fitting a Tough Dog kit gives an estimated 25mm of additional lift rather than the advertised 50mm.
| Make | Model | Years |

| RAM | 1500 DS Series | 2013 - 2023 |
| RAM | 1500 DT Series - Non Air Suspension (incl. Hurricane 6cyl) | 2019 - On |
Choose the spring that matches what is permanently fitted to the vehicle, such as a steel bull bar or a bar and winch. The heavier option carries that extra weight at the intended ride height; fitted to a vehicle without the accessories it will sit high and ride firm.

Front coil springs are fitted with the strut removed and the spring compressed to swap it onto the strut, so this is a job for a workshop or an experienced fitter with a proper spring compressor. Fit both sides, torque the strut top and lower mounts to spec, then have a wheel alignment done, which is essential after any change in front ride height. Raised springs need shock absorbers with the correct extended length for the new ride height. In most states a suspension lift of up to 50 mm is allowed without certification under VSB14; larger lifts can require engineering approval, so check the rules for your state.

Load ratings refer to permanent extra weight over the axle. Springs do not change the vehicle's GVM or towing capacity.
The options on this listing are: 50 mm. Lift is measured at ride height with the vehicle's normal load. Raised springs need matching shock absorbers with the correct extended length, and a wheel alignment on the front.
Yes. The price covers both Tough Dog springs, one for each side.
If you are changing ride height, yes. Shocks are built for a specific travel range, and a lift moves the axle outside the factory shock's range. If you are replacing springs at standard height, existing shocks in good condition can stay.
These Tough Dog springs are listed for the RAM 1500 DS & DT. Check the fitment table above against your build date and body style, or send us your rego and we will confirm the right part.
Choose by what is permanently bolted to the front. Options on this listing: DS 2013-23: No Accessories, DS 2013-23: Bar & Bar & Winch, DT 2019-On: No Accessories, DT 2019-On: With Bar & Winch. A spring rated for a bar and winch fitted to a vehicle without them will sit high and ride firm; too light a spring sags under the bar and wears the shocks.
Only if the lift front and rear is matched. Most utes and wagons sit nose-down from the factory, so a slightly larger front lift than rear levels the vehicle. Tell us what you are fitting at the back and we will match the front springs to it.
