Mopar Lift with 6' 4" bed

[Douglasmtn]

I took my 2019 1500 Laramie (5th Gen Crew Cab) into my local Ram dealer in CO to have a Mopar 2" lift installed. However, a few hours after I dropped the truck off, the dealer called me to let me know that the lift would not fit my truck because I have the longer bed (6' 4"). Has anyone else had this problem and if so, why won't the lift work on the longer bed since the suspension is the same?

Next, if I can't use the Mopar lift are there any other 2" lifts, not leveling kits (I still want the rake), out there that you would recommend? I am not looking to go very high as my goal is to get the ground clearance back up to what my 2011 Chevy Silverado had, not to necessarily put on larger tires. At this point, the stock 8.5-9" of clearance does not work for me as I have already torn up a set of aftermarket stepup/nerf bars when I bottomed out going over a snow/ice pile left by the plows - I need something in the 10-11" of clearance for home and work.

Thanks in advance for the advice and suggestions!

Couple of questions, do you have the crew cab or quad? Is your 2019 a classic or 5th gen?

I have the 5th Gen Crew Cab.

The only thing I was told when I had mine done was it wasn’t for air ride or the Rebel. So as far as I’m aware no there is no reason why it’s not for the longer bed. Again I am not an engineer I just can’t imagine the underpinning would be any different between the beds.

Is yours the 6' box? And I agree, I can't see what the difference would be between the 2 different bed lengths and their suspension.

I only have a 5’7” but originally had the 6’4” and wanted to ensure fitment. Sadly my first was a Limited so no go with that air suspension..

Should work just fine. The kit specifically states, "For Crew Cab, with 5.7L". Doesn't say anything about bed length

I thought the crew cab only came in the 5'7" bed.

No as far as I am aware you can get it either way.

From the description page:

*This lift kit will only fit 2019-2020 Dodge Ram 1500s with a Crew Cab and a 5.7L engine.

So based upon that, it does not distinguish between a 5’7” bed or 6’4” one then.

Didn't realize, learn something new everyday. it's only on the rebel that they only offer the 5'7" bed.
