Description

Level your 2000–2004 Ford F-250/F-350 4WD with the Tuff Country 2.5" Leveling Kit (No Shocks). This proven kit uses progressive leaf packs to lift the front axle by 2.5" while preserving a near factory ride, and it’s designed for drivers who want a confident, balanced stance and the option to run larger tires.

  • Front Lift: 2.5" front elevation to level the stance on Ford Super Duty 4WD trucks for improved proportional look and handling.
  • Progressive Leaf Packs: Added to the existing springs to deliver a smoother, controlled rise with better load management across varying terrains.
  • Track Bar Relocation Bracket: Maintains proper steering alignment after the lift for confident on-road feel and predictable handling.
  • Shocks Included: No β€” this kit is designed to work with your existing shocks (shocks sold separately if you wish to upgrade).
  • 33" Tire Capability: Lets you fit up to 33" x 12.5" tires for enhanced off-road capability and a more aggressive look.
  • Near Factory Ride: Engineered to preserve as much of the stock ride quality as possible while providing a noticeable visual and performance upgrade.
  • Easy Installation: Bolt-on design that complements the factory components, shortening downtime with straightforward alignment considerations.
  • Warranty: Backed by Tuff Country’s limited lifetime warranty, reflecting decades of suspension expertise and reliability.
  • Compatibility Notes: Specifically formulated for 2000–2004 Ford F-250/F-350 4WD with 351 cubic inch gas engines; Ford Super Duty rear block differences may require attention to rear lift to achieve a level stance.
  • Brand Assurance: From the originator of the leveling kit, with over 25 years of experience and a global reputation for quality suspension solutions.

This leveling approach minimizes front–rear imbalance, reduces front-end dive and body roll during cornering, and provides a platform ready for enhanced off-road adventures. By adding front elevation while keeping key components aligned with a track-bar relocation and progressive leaf packs, you gain tire compatibility, improved stance, and a more purposeful driveβ€”without unnecessary surgery or a harsh ride. Ideal for daily drivers who want a confident, capable setup and enthusiasts seeking a balanced, capable Ford Super Duty.


Note Ford Super Duty 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 required an additional lift in the rear of the vehicle to sit level.
