2014 Ram 1500 Crew Cab on a 2 Post

[Mr onetwo]

Hey all, I just pulled the trigger on a minty 2014 Laramie Crew Cab 4x4 from Florida.I can't seem to find anything official as to the lifting points on that particular truck..just a lot of hearsay.Has anyone had a gen 4 up on a lift? Would love to see a couple of photos. Or a pdf of something from RAM maybe. My MaxJax will pick it up easily. Thanks...her's a couple of photos to drool over

No issues with a gasser engine. I used to have a 2 post Rotary and it was a bit nerve-wracking with the diesel engine especially once you pulled weight off the rear end like tires or the rear axle.

I have had my old 2005 1500 4wd Hemi Ram 1500 on my 10k Bendpac two post lift a few times. Haven’t had the newer Ram 1500 up there yet. Oil changes are cheap enough at the dealer that it’s not worth the hassle doing it myself, even though I have the lift.

It balances better than my single cab long bed 5.4 F250 4wd or my long bed dually crew cab V10 F350 dually.

Mine all work best with the steering wheel ahead of the lift post, just far enough forward that the door opens in front of the post. My lift is an asymmetric design.

I worked at a CDJR dealer for ~3 years. Lifted plenty 4th gens on scissors, 4 posts, and 2 posts. It's been a while, but for the front, you should place the lift pads on the frame forward of a crossmember. The rear lift pads go on the frame as far back as possible where it's most flat. Usually we'd put a short/medium riser on the front and the tallest riser on the rear.

If I had a good picture of some undercarriage it'd be easier to explain. I know it's a really similar setup for my 3rd gen 1500.

The red oval indicates the points of contact for a 2 point lift. Remember to center the truck between your lift posts.

ETA: I notice you've got side steps. Keep an eye on them during the initial lift. If your lift risers aren't tall enough you might contact/bend your side steps with the lift arms. I've seen this countless times from the quick lube guys and sometimes by a careless tech.

On a symmetrical lift put your front outside door handles in line or a little ahead of the post (depends on box length). Front arms will lift right ahead of the crossmember (smallish area before the frame bends up and in) and the rear arms can go either on the frame mount for the lower trailing arm or directly Infront of it. Those trucks have a nice flat frame so you can manipulate your arms forward and back a touch to get them locked in.

Don't have any photos and don't think I have any 4th gen Rams scheduled this week but I've lifted a billion of them this way and they are solid as can be when in the air.
