Description

Elevate your Ford F-Series with a trusted leveling solution from Tuff Country. The 22961KN 3-Inch Leveling Kit (Shackle Hanger) with SX8000 Shocks lifts the front of 2000–2004 Ford F-250/F-350 4WD trucks, delivering a balanced stance and room for larger tires while preserving ride quality.

  • Vehicle Fitment: 2000–2004 Ford F-250/F-350 4WD (Gas or Diesel).
  • Lift Height: 3-inch front leveling lift to achieve a level stance.
  • Shackle Hanger Design: Efficient mounting geometry optimized for durability and alignment.
  • Shocks Included: SX8000 shocks included for balanced damping and improved ride control.
  • Leaf Spring Integration: Leaf packs added to existing leaf springs to provide lift with a near factory ride.
  • Track Bar Relocation Bracket: Maintains proper steering alignment after the lift.
  • Tire Clearance: Allows up to 33" x 12.5" tires for a more aggressive stance and improved traction.
  • Warranty: Backed by Tuff Country’s limited lifetime warranty.
  • Installation Notes: Some models come with two different rear block sizes; if your vehicle uses 2" rear factory blocks, a rear lift may be required to sit level. If equipped with a 3/4" diameter track bar, upgrading to a 1" track bar is recommended (replacement track bar #20950).

This kit is designed to deliver a near factory ride, while enabling improved ground clearance and a more confident stance. By adding leaf packs to the existing springs and relocating the track bar, the front end sits level and remains stable through turns and over uneven pavement. The SX8000 shocks work alongside the upgraded springs to provide controlled damping, enhancing daily driving comfort and off-road capability. Ideal for Ford F-Series owners who want a simple, durable upgrade that supports larger tires without a complete suspension overhaul.


Note Some models come equipped from the factory with two different sizes of rear lift blocks. Vehicles with 2 inch rear factory blocks will not sit level and will require an additional lift in the rear of the vehicle to sit level.
