Description

The Tuff Country 22963K Front 2.5" Leveling Kit with Leaf Springs is designed for 2000–2004 Ford F-250/F-350 4WD trucks, providing a simple way to level the front and improve overall stance without replacing your entire suspension. It’s ideal for drivers who want a cleaner look and the capacity to run larger tires while preserving a comfortable ride.

  • Front lift: 2.5" leveling height to bring the front and rear into a balanced stance on 2000–2004 Ford F-250/F-350 4WD models.
  • EZ-Ride leaf springs: Replaces factory springs to maintain ride quality while delivering the lift you need for a more confident drive.
  • Track bar relocating bracket: Keeps steering geometry aligned after the lift for predictable handling and steering response.
  • Shocks included: Without shocks included – the kit is designed to work with your existing shocks, helping keep overall cost down while allowing you to choose replacement options if desired.
  • Tire compatibility: Enables use of larger tires up to approximately 33" x 12.5" for improved off-road capability and a more aggressive look.
  • Durability and warranty: Backed by Tuff Country’s limited lifetime warranty, reflecting decades of suspension expertise and a commitment to quality.
  • Installation notes: Installation is straightforward for experienced enthusiasts; Ford 2000–2004 F-Series models with a 3/4" track bar are advised to upgrade to a 1" track bar (replacement track bar option #20950 is available).
  • Fitment scope: Specifically engineered for 2000–2004 Ford F-250 4WD with 460/V10/Diesel engines and 2000–2004 Ford F-350 4WD with 460/V10/Diesel engines.

This leveling kit balances practical engineering with a confident, near-factory ride. By relocating the front axle and replacing the springs with Tuff Country’s EZ-Ride design, you gain a leveled stance, improved cornering feel, and the ability to run larger, more capable tires without compromising daily usability. The included track bar relocation bracket helps preserve steering accuracy, while the option to retain your factory shocks keeps compatibility simple and cost-conscious. With a lifetime warranty backing the kit, you can tackle daily drives, highway cruising, and weekend adventures with greater peace of mind.
