AAD Performance Gen 3 Hemi Billet Aluminum Lifter Trays (Factory Mopar / Johnson Short & Standard Travel)
Protect your Gen 3 Hemi engine from lifter rotation at high RPM with these premium machined billet aluminum lifter trays from AAD Performance. Factory plastic lifter trays can allow lifters to rotate under extreme conditions, leading to premature wear or failure.
These billet trays provide a rigid, precision-machined solution that securely locates the lifters and prevents rotation, offering superior durability for high-performance and racing applications. This version is specifically designed for factory Mopar lifters and Johnson Short & Standard Travel lifters measuring .728–.729″ between the flats.
They are **Not Compatible** with MDS lifters or Johnson Hy-Lift lifters (loose fit). Proper lifter travel clearance must be verified before engine start-up.
