2019-2024 Ram 1500 Performance Parts & Accessories
The 2019-2024 Ram 1500 (DT generation) is one of the most refined and upgrade-friendly half-tons on the road, with coil-spring rear suspension and two strong powertrains: the 5.7L V8 Hemi (with optional eTorque) and the 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel. Stage 3 Motorsports stocks performance parts and accessories built for both engines, from leveling kits, lift kits, and fender flares to cold air intakes, tuning, lighting, exhaust systems, tonneau covers, and wheels and tires.

The 2019-2024 Ram 1500: Built to Tow, Haul, and Customize
The fifth-generation Ram 1500 (DT body code, 2019-2024) brought a full architectural rethink to the half-ton segment. Coil-spring rear suspension, optional 4-corner air ride, two strong powertrains (the 5.7L V8 Hemi and 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel), and one of the most refined interiors on a pickup truck. For builders, that means a platform that responds beautifully to bolt-on upgrades, with deep aftermarket support across both engine variants. Whether you're building for towing, off-road capability, or daily-driver presence, Stage 3 Motorsports has the parts to get you there.
Unlock the Potential of Your 5.7L HEMI or 3.0L EcoDiesel
No matter which powertrain is under your hood, there's real performance left on the table from the factory. The right combination of bolt-on upgrades transforms throttle response, fuel economy, and overall drive feel.
Popular 5.7L HEMI Upgrades:
- Cold air intakes from S&B, K&N, and Airaid for improved throttle response and intake airflow
- Cat-back exhaust systems from Borla, MagnaFlow, and MBRP for a deeper Hemi tone and reduced backpressure
- Handheld tuners from DiabloSport and SCT for added horsepower and adjusted shift behavior
- Headers and mid-pipes for advanced builds chasing the last 10 to 15 horsepower
A complete intake plus exhaust plus tune package on the 5.7L Hemi typically yields 20 to 35 horsepower at the wheels and noticeably stronger throttle response.
Top 3.0L EcoDiesel Upgrades:
- Diesel performance tuners to unlock torque and optimize boost while respecting emissions hardware
- Upgraded intakes to help the turbo breathe more efficiently
- Exhaust kits designed for diesel airflow with smoother sound and reduced restriction
- Monitoring gauges for EGT, boost, and transmission temp on heavy-tow setups
EcoDiesel builds typically focus on improving fuel economy and low-end torque rather than chasing peak horsepower numbers.
Suspension and Stance: Level It, Lift It, or Load It
The DT generation Ram's coil-spring rear suspension delivers a class-leading ride from the factory and opens up serious aftermarket flexibility. Whether you want stance, ground clearance, or improved load handling, suspension is where most builds start.
Suspension Options Include:
- Leveling kits (2 to 2.5 inches) to close the factory rake and clear 33-inch tires
- 4 to 6 inch lift kits from BDS, Rough Country, and ReadyLIFT for 35-inch and 37-inch tire fitments
- Upgraded shocks from Bilstein 5100s, Fox 2.0 IFP, or King coilovers for street and off-road damping
- Air springs and HD coils to reduce rear sag when towing or hauling heavy
Important: if your truck has Active-Level air suspension, most standard kits will not fit. Look for kits explicitly listed as "air ride compatible" before buying.
Wheels, Lighting, and Exterior Accessories
The 2019-2024 Ram 1500 has strong factory presence, and a few exterior upgrades dramatically change both look and function. The platform uses a 5x139.7mm (5x5.5-inch) bolt pattern, which opens you up to two decades of aftermarket wheel options.
Most Popular Exterior Upgrades:
- Aftermarket wheels and tires in 18 to 22 inch sizes for street, trail, or show builds
- LED headlights and taillights for improved visibility and modern styling
- Off-road lighting including ditch lights, light bars, and bed lighting kits
- Tonneau covers (roll-up, tri-fold, retractable) for cargo protection and improved fuel economy
- Fender flares to protect bodywork and add visual width after a leveling kit
- Bed racks, bed liners, and storage systems for work and overlanding use
If your truck has the optional Multifunction Tailgate (the split-swing 60/40 tailgate) or RamBox bed-side storage, double-check tonneau cover fitment. Not every cover plays nicely with both options.
Interior, Tech, and Daily-Driver Comfort
The Ram 1500's interior was already segment-leading from the factory. The right add-ons make it last longer and serve more uses without changing what you love about it.
Top Interior Add-Ons:
- All-weather floor mats from WeatherTech and Husky for daily protection
- Upgraded audio systems for premium in-cab sound
- Phone mounts, dash accessories, and tablet or GPS mounts for off-road and overlanding use
- Seat covers and console organizers for work-truck protection and added storage
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a leveling kit fit a Ram 1500 with Active-Level air suspension?
Most standard leveling kits are designed for the regular coil-spring suspension and will NOT fit Active-Level air suspension. There are air-suspension-compatible kits available, but check the product page for explicit "air ride compatible" fitment before buying.
What is the bolt pattern on the 2019-2024 Ram 1500?
The bolt pattern is 5x139.7mm (also written as 5x5.5 inches). The center bore is 77.8mm.
Is the 5.7L Hemi or 3.0L EcoDiesel better for towing?
Both engines tow well. The Hemi has slightly higher max tow ratings depending on configuration, but the EcoDiesel's 480 lb-ft of torque pulls harder at low RPM and feels more effortless under load. For frequent heavy towing, the Hemi has a small edge. For long-distance towing where fuel cost matters, the EcoDiesel wins on cost-per-mile.
Can I tune the EcoDiesel?
Yes. There are aftermarket tunes that focus on fuel economy and low-end torque rather than peak horsepower. Look for tunes that work with the factory EGR and DEF systems intact.
Will eTorque cause aftermarket parts compatibility issues?
Most aftermarket parts (intakes, exhausts, leveling kits, suspension components) are compatible with eTorque. The system uses a 48V belt-driven motor-generator and a small lithium battery, but it does not change engine architecture in ways that affect bolt-on parts. Always confirm fitment notes on the product page.
Do I need a different tonneau cover if I have RamBox?
Yes. The RamBox bed-side storage system narrows the usable bed width, so you need a cover specifically rated for RamBox-equipped trucks. Most major brands (Extang, BAK, Truxedo, Roll-N-Lock) offer RamBox-compatible versions.
Will TRX wheels and tires fit a regular Ram 1500?
The TRX uses a wider track width and 35-inch tires from the factory. While the bolt pattern is the same, TRX wheel offsets will rub on a non-TRX truck without flares or other modifications. Most owners going for the TRX look use aftermarket wheels at TRX-style offset rather than literal TRX wheels.
Can I run 35-inch tires on stock suspension?
No. 35-inch tires require a 4-inch lift kit minimum to fit without rubbing on the wheel wells, fender liners, or chassis components. With a leveling kit only, 33-inch tires are the practical maximum.
What is the best first mod for a 2019-2024 Ram 1500?
For most owners: a leveling kit and 33-inch tires. Highest impact for the dollar, transforms stance and presence, and opens the door to the rest of the build. For Hemi owners specifically, a custom tune is a close second because it wakes up throttle response and shift points immediately.
