Ram 1500 TRX & RHO Lift Kit Installation in Gilbert, AZ
Ram 1500 TRX & RHO Lift Kit Installation in Gilbert, AZ
Your TRX or RHO already left the factory as a desert truck — so the real question in Gilbert isn't "how do I lift it," it's "who do I trust to push a 702-hp Hellcat or a twin-turbo Hurricane past stock without ruining what Ram engineered?" Underdog Motorsports is a straight shot up Power Road from Gilbert, roughly 10–20 minutes from Val Vista, Higley or the Heritage District, and we build these trucks right: 37s, armor, tuning and real Bilstein service, with a four-wheel alignment on every job.
We know what a Gilbert TRX owner actually does with it — daily the kids to school through the week, then run the Beeline out to Sycamore Creek or drop into Bulldog Canyon below the Superstitions on the weekend. We build to match.

TRX & RHO Builds for How Gilbert Drives
The Ram 1500 TRX and the newer RHO are not leveling-kit trucks, and anybody who tells a Gilbert owner to "throw a lift on it" has never looked underneath one. The TRX (2021–2024) rides on the 702-hp supercharged 6.2L Hellcat V8; the RHO (2025+) carries that torch on the twin-turbo Hurricane inline-six. Both come from the factory as long-travel desert machines — a coil-over front end with remote-reservoir Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive dampers, a five-link coil-sprung rear, 35-inch tires and a widened body riding on roughly a foot of wheel travel. That geometry is the whole point of the truck. You don't add height to it; you refine and protect it.
So on a Gilbert TRX or RHO our work is about getting more capability out of what Ram already gave you. Most owners come to us wanting 37s — and on these trucks that's a real conversation about the known limits (clearance, speedo correction, and keeping the adaptive dampers happy) rather than just bolting them on. From there it's armor for the rock gardens past Bulldog Canyon, lighting for the dark two-tracks out toward the Superstitions, a tune and catch-can setup to keep that forced-induction engine clean, and eventually a proper Bilstein Black Hawk rebuild and re-valve once all those washboard miles on the Beeline start to soften the ride. Every build leaves with a four-wheel alignment, because a widebody desert truck that's out of spec eats its own 35s and 37s in a hurry out here.
What We Install on Your TRX or RHO
Suspension & Damper Service
These trucks don't get lifted — they get dialed. We service, rebuild and re-valve the factory Bilstein Black Hawk e2 remote-reservoir dampers, address the adaptive setup, and tune ride height and spring rate so your TRX or RHO rides and lands the way it should on desert whoops.
Wheels & Tires
Stepping up from the factory 35s to 37s is the number-one TRX request — and the one that needs doing correctly. We fit 37s (within the platform's real limits), recalibrate for the new diameter, and mount desert-rated rubber that survives Bulldog Canyon granite and I-10 summer heat.
Armor & Bumpers
A $90k desert truck deserves protection. Front and rear bumpers, rock sliders and full skid-plate coverage for the oil pan, transfer case and that supercharger or turbo plumbing — so a bad line in Woodbury or Hackberry doesn't end the day.
Lighting
Ditch lights, chase bars, bumper pods and behind-the-grille light bars wired clean. For Gilbert owners running the Beeline out to Sycamore Creek after work, good lighting is the difference between finishing the trail and feeling your way back.
Tuning & Overland Setups
Performance and off-road tuning for the Hellcat and Hurricane, catch-cans to keep forced induction clean, plus bed racks, storage and recovery gear for owners who turn weekend desert runs into overnight trips toward the Superstitions.
Alignment
Every TRX and RHO build leaves on a four-wheel alignment. On a widebody long-travel truck running 35s or 37s, correct alignment is what keeps those expensive tires wearing evenly and the truck tracking straight at speed across the open desert.
Gilbert TRX & RHO FAQ
How far is your shop from Gilbert?
We're on South Power Road near Power & Baseline, a straight run up Power from Gilbert. Most owners coming from Val Vista, Higley, Cooley Station or the Heritage District are here in about 10–20 minutes — no freeway required.
Can you lift my TRX or RHO?
Honestly, you don't want a lift on these. The TRX and RHO already ship with long-travel coil-over suspension and roughly a foot of wheel travel — they're factory desert trucks. The right moves are 37s, armor, tuning and damper service, not added height. We'll walk you through exactly what makes sense.
Will 37s fit my TRX?
They can — but it takes doing right. 37s on a TRX or RHO come with real considerations around clearance and the factory adaptive dampers, plus a speedometer recalibration. We fit them within the platform's limits so you keep the ride quality Ram built in.
Do you service the factory Bilstein Black Hawk dampers?
Yes. After a lot of washboard miles on the Beeline, the factory remote-reservoir Bilstein Black Hawk e2 dampers soften up. We rebuild and re-valve them to restore — or sharpen — the way your truck rides and lands, rather than replacing the whole system needlessly.
What's the difference between what a TRX and a RHO need?
Mechanically the suspension playbook is nearly identical — both are long-travel coil trucks. The difference is under the hood: the TRX's supercharged 6.2L V8 and the RHO's twin-turbo Hurricane six want different tuning and catch-can setups. We build for whichever you've got.
Where do Gilbert owners run these trucks?
Most of our Gilbert TRX and RHO customers daily them through the week, then head out the Beeline to Sycamore Creek or drop into Bulldog Canyon and the trails below the Superstitions on weekends. We build to handle exactly that mix of commuter miles and real desert.
