The 2025–2026 Ram 1500 RHO is already one of the most capable performance trucks on the market — but if you're looking to dial in the stance, improve clearance, or just get that aggressive look you're after, a spring lift kit is one of the smartest first moves you can make. Eibach offers two purpose-built options for the RHO: the +1.6" front lift and the +2.7" front lift. Here's how to decide which one is right for you.
Understanding the Difference: Leveling vs. Lifting
Before diving into the kits, it helps to understand what you're actually trying to accomplish.
- Leveling means bringing the front of the truck up to match the rear — eliminating the factory rake. The RHO, like most trucks, sits slightly nose-down from the factory to compensate for payload. A leveling kit corrects this without dramatically changing ride height.
- Lifting means raising the entire truck — front and rear — for more ground clearance, larger tires, and a more aggressive stance. A true lift kit raises both ends and changes the overall geometry of the truck.
Both Eibach kits are spring-based, meaning they replace or supplement your factory springs rather than using spacers — which is a critical distinction for ride quality and long-term durability.
Eibach Pro Kit +1.6" Front Lift — The Leveling Solution
The Eibach Pro Kit Ram 2025–2026 RHO +1.6 Front Lift is designed to level the RHO's stance by raising the front end approximately 1.6 inches. This is the go-to choice if your goals are:
- Eliminating factory nose-down rake for a cleaner, more level look
- Fitting slightly larger tires without rubbing
- Maintaining a ride quality close to stock
- Keeping your truck's factory alignment geometry as intact as possible
Because this is an Eibach progressive-rate spring, you're not sacrificing ride comfort for stance. The spring rate is engineered specifically for the RHO's weight and suspension geometry, so it doesn't feel harsh or bouncy like a cheap spacer kit would.
Pair it with the Eibach Pro Kit RHO HD Rear Springs if you want to firm up the rear for towing or hauling while keeping everything balanced front-to-rear.
Best for: Drivers who want a clean, level stance, a mild tire upgrade (up to 35s depending on wheel offset), and a daily-driver-friendly ride.
Eibach Pro-Lift Kit +2.7" Front | +1.5" Rear — The True Lift
If you want more — more clearance, more tire, more presence — the Eibach Pro-Lift Kit +2.7" Front | +1.5" Rear is the answer. This kit raises the front a full 2.7 inches and the rear 1.5 inches, giving you a true lift while keeping the truck level side-to-side and front-to-rear.
Also available as a front-only +2.7" option if you want to mix and match with your existing rear setup.
With 2.7" up front and 1.5" out back, you're opening the door to:
- 37" tires (depending on wheel specs and trimming)
- Significantly more ground clearance for off-road use
- A more aggressive, lifted truck aesthetic
- Better approach and departure angles on the trail
Like the 1.6" kit, this is a true Eibach spring replacement — not a spacer — so ride quality remains composed. The progressive spring rate handles both light daily driving and loaded/towing scenarios without feeling stiff or wallowy.
Best for: Drivers who want a proper lifted look, plan to run larger tires, use the truck off-road, or simply want maximum visual impact.
Don't Forget: Eibach Ride Height Links — A Required Add-On for Lifted RHOs
Here's something a lot of RHO owners don't realize until after the install: the Ram RHO uses an electronic ride height sensor that monitors suspension position and feeds data to the transmission and air suspension system. When you lift the truck — even with a quality spring kit — that sensor no longer reads correctly, which can cause erratic transmission shift patterns and other drivability issues.
The fix is simple: the Eibach Ride Height Links for the 2025–2026 Ram RHO ($95.00, sold as a pair) are fully adjustable replacement links that recalibrate the sensor to account for your new lift height. They're a direct factory replacement — no cutting, no fabricating — and they're adjustable between 125–130mm to dial in your specific setup.
Key features:
- Recalibrates the factory ride height sensor after lifting
- Eliminates erratic transmission shift behavior caused by sensor misreading
- Fully adjustable hex body — works with any lift height within range
- Easy factory-direct replacement, no modifications needed
- Sold as a pair | 1-Year Warranty
Do you need them with the +1.6" leveling kit? Possibly not — a minor level may not throw the sensor far enough out of range to cause issues. When Tuned these trucks put the nose up high under heavy acceleration. However, if you're running the +2.7" lift, these links are strongly recommended to ensure the truck shifts and drives as intended. When in doubt, add them — at $95 they're cheap insurance on a truck of this caliber.
Pro Tip: After installing and adjusting the ride height links, apply blue Loctite and tighten the jam nuts. Do not adjust beyond the 125–130mm range or sensor damage can result.
Side-by-Side Comparison
| Feature | Eibach +1.6" Front | Eibach +2.7" Front / +1.5" Rear |
|---|---|---|
| Front Lift | +1.6" | +2.7" |
| Rear Lift | None (front only) | +1.5" |
| Primary Goal | Leveling | Full Lift |
| Spring Type | Progressive coil spring | Progressive coil spring |
| Ride Quality Impact | Minimal | Mild — still very livable |
| Off-Road Clearance | Moderate improvement | Significant improvement |
| Ride Height Links Needed? | Possibly not | Strongly recommended |
Which One Should You Choose?
If you're primarily a daily driver who wants a cleaner look and maybe a modest tire upgrade, the +1.6" leveling kit is the smart, cost-effective move. It's subtle, refined, and keeps the RHO feeling like the performance truck it is.
If you want to make a statement, run bigger rubber, or take the RHO off the pavement, the +2.7"/+1.5" lift kit is the way to go — just make sure to add the Eibach Ride Height Links to keep the truck driving the way it should.
