Rough Country N3 2 inch loaded leveling struts
A pre-loaded front strut leveling option for 5th-gen Ram 1500 owners who want to avoid spring disassembly and move beyond a simple spacer kit.
Quick answer
Rough Country N3 2 inch loaded leveling struts (500061) is here because it has real fitment notes, official resources, seller offers from $349.95, and 3 price and stock checks. Read the short take below, then confirm specs, stock, price history, and install requirements before choosing a seller.
Our take
Our take: this is the middle path between a very cheap spacer and a higher-priced control-arm leveling kit. The loaded strut design matters because the buyer is not asking a shop to disassemble and reuse the factory coil on a bare replacement shock, but it still needs normal suspension-install care, alignment planning, and model-year filtering. The official product page gives the current 2019-2026 new-body Ram range, while retail install context and Ram generation boundaries keep the page from applying that range to Classic, TRX, air-ride, or factory pre-lift trucks. It is a mature shelf item because customers actually compare it against spacer kits, Bilstein 5100 setups, and complete control-arm kits.
Best fit for shoppers who want loaded front struts instead of a low-cost spacer or a bare shock swap.
Confirm new-body Ram, air-suspension status, factory pre-lift status, and alignment plan before checkout.
Use the manufacturer price as a reference until partner terms allow a tracked buyer link.

Specs first, photos when cleared
We do not fill product pages with unrelated stock photos. Use the official resources and seller listings below to confirm the exact SKU; approved manufacturer or partner-feed photos will appear here when available.
Compatibility by model year
Year range is only the first pass. The final answer still depends on model, trim, body style, drive, suspension package, and current seller fitment data.
2019-2026 Ram 1500 new-body 2WD/4WD after exclusion checks
Rough Country's current product page lists 2019-2026 Ram 1500 2WD/4WD coverage for this loaded strut kit, but checkout still depends on body generation and suspension-package exclusions.
Verified trim route
Big Horn 4x4 Crew Cab
Trim/body rules
The 2022 Big Horn 4x4 Crew Cab route is a candidate only after confirming the truck is a new-body Ram 1500 without air ride, TRX hardware, or a conflicting factory lift package.
Why this year range
The 2019 Ram 1500 redesign created overlap with the older Classic truck, so product year ranges must be filtered by body generation rather than copied from the year alone.
