Built for Ford F-250 4WD owners who want a level stance and more aggressive look, this 4-inch lift kit raises the front to match the rear, improving ground clearance and giving your truck a factory-engineered appearance. Rough Country's design preserves ride quality and handling while opening up tire clearance to 35 inches with proper wheel backspacing.

Installed and serviced at Road Runner Wheels & Tires. Most lift kits go in the same day. Call (678) 400-6467 to schedule.

What's included

  • 4-inch front leaf springs (qty. 2) — lifted to match rear height and provide additional ride clearance without sacrificing on-road or off-road performance.
  • M1 shocks (qty. 2) — 10-stage variable nitrogen-charged units with 18mm spring-loaded piston rods and 54mm bodies for smooth highway driving and off-road capability.
  • I-Beam drop brackets and track bar bracket — maintain factory-like caster and suspension geometry after the lift.
  • Pitman arm — ensures proper steering angles and response.
  • Installation hardware and documentation — everything needed for a complete bolt-on upgrade.

Important notes

  • Fits diesel and 460 gas engine models only. Does not fit straight-axle or dually configurations.
  • Maximum tire clearance is 35 inches with proper wheel backspacing — verify offset and backspace before fitment.
  • Extended sway-bar links are recommended to maintain suspension angles and steering response (Rough Country #1022 front, #1023 rear).

Why customers pick this at Road Runner
