Product Details
Description
Take control of front-end geometry with the Tuff Country 20853 Axle Pivot Drop Brackets. Designed for 1997 Ford F-250 4WD trucks and compatible with existing suspension lifts, these brackets lower the axle pivot to restore proper alignment after a lift.
- Compatibility & Fitment: Fits 1997 Ford F-250 4WD with 5-bolt mounting per bracket; 4-bolt models use kit 20852. Note: Only fits vehicles with 5 mounting bolts per bracket. Some 1997 models have 5 mounting bolts, some have 4 bolts. Please check your vehicle before ordering. Due to variances in factory hole patterns, drilling 3 holes per bracket is required for this kit.
- Camber Adjustment: Includes adjustable camber bolts for precise alignment and maximizing tire contact patch after installation.
- Lift Compatibility: Specifically engineered for front lifts from 1.5" to 2.5", helping maintain proper steering geometry and axle alignment.
- Hardware Included: All necessary mounting hardware is included for a straightforward install.
- Made in the USA: Proudly manufactured, designed, and packaged in the USA by Tuff Country, a suspension specialist since 1988, focusing on durability and reliable fitment.
- Durability: Built from sturdy steel with a robust mounting interface to withstand off-road use and daily driving.
- Warranty: Limited Lifetime Warranty provides long-term confidence in performance and reliability.
These brackets address the common alignment challenges that arise when lifting a Ford F-250 by 1.5"–2.5" without modifying the stock pivot geometry. By dropping the front axle pivot and adding camber adjustment, the kit restores proper camber and steering response, reduces uneven tire wear, and preserves ride quality across light off-road to daily driving scenarios. The installation is complemented by included hardware and clear fitment notes, making it a practical upgrade for lifted F-250s seeking consistent alignment and dependable performance.
