Description

Level your Ford F-Series pickup with the Tuff Country 22962KN 2.5" Leveling Kit, designed for 2000–2004 Ford F-250/F-350 4WD with a 351 gasoline engine. This front-leveling kit uses progressive leaf packs and SX8000 shocks to deliver a confident stance and improved on-road handling.

  • Lift height: 2.5" front lift to restore a level stance and create room for larger tires, while maintaining ride quality near stock.
  • Shocks included: SX8000 shock absorbers included for enhanced damping across paved roads and light off-road.
  • Progressive leaf packs: Added to existing leaf springs to improve ride consistency and support after leveling.
  • Track bar relocation bracket: Maintains proper steering alignment after the lift for predictable handling.
  • Tire compatibility: Supports up to 33" x 12.5" tires for a more aggressive look and increased traction.
  • Ride quality: Near factory ride with components chosen to preserve comfort after lifting.
  • Warranty: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty from Tuff Country.
  • Installation notes: Some models with 2" rear blocks may require additional rear lift to sit level; consider a 1" track bar upgrade if your vehicle uses a 3/4" diameter track bar.

This kit levels the front, improves handling by reducing front-end dive and body roll, and accommodates larger tires for a stronger road presence. Progressive leaf packs and factory-like ride ensure everyday drivability, while the included SX8000 shocks provide reliable damping on both highway and light off-road routes. The kit's design, track bar relocation, and compatibility with common Ford F-Series configurations offer a practical, durable upgrade with the protection of a lifetime warranty.


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.
