Description

The Tuff Country 24713KN 4" Lift Kit with SX8000 Shocks is engineered for classic 4WD Ford F-150 pickups, delivering a balanced lift that enhances off‑road capability without sacrificing on‑road comfort.

  • Lift Height: 4" front / 3" rear lift designed to accommodate larger tires while preserving steering geometry and overall ride quality.
  • Shocks Included: SX8000 shocks included for both ends, with front mounts (stem on top, eye on bottom) and rear mounts (eye on top and bottom) to match the kit’s alignment needs.
  • Rear Add‑A‑Leafs: Additional leaf springs included to improve load handling and control sag under heavy or off‑road use.
  • Track Bar Relocation Bracket: Relocates the track bar to maintain proper axle alignment after the lift for stable handling on and off the road.
  • Drop Pitman Arm: Included to enhance steering geometry and turning radius with the lifted setup.
  • Coil Springs & Bushings: Durable coil springs paired with C‑bushings, strut arm bushings, and track arm bushings to support a smooth, controlled ride.
  • Compatibility & Tire Fit: Specifically designed for 1973–1979 Ford F‑150 4WD with 2.5" wide rear springs; recommended tire size up to 33" x 12.5".
  • Warranty & Support: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty and from a brand with over 35 years in suspension systems, plus access to experienced support for fitment and installation.
  • Installation Note: Factory length shocks must be replaced with extended shocks to install this lift kit properly; choose the appropriate extended shocks and boots in the options if you haven’t already.

This kit is built to deliver a practical, capable upgrade: you gain ground clearance for more aggressive tire options, improved approach/departure angles for off‑road adventures, and a steadier ride with components designed to work together. The combination of rear add‑leafs, track bar relocation, and a drop pitman arm keeps steering predictable after lifting, while SX8000 shocks provide damping that suits both daily driving and rugged trails. Ideal for enthusiasts who want a reliable, long‑term suspension upgrade with solid support from a trusted brand.
