Product Details
Description
Tuff Country’s 22970KN 3" Leveling Kit (Shackle Hanger) with SX8000 Shocks is a purpose-built front-end lift for Ford 2000–2004 F-250 and F-350 4WD pickups. It’s designed to level the ride, accommodate larger tires, and improve on-road stability with a dependable, US-made build.
- Lift approach: Front lift of approximately 2.5" to achieve a level stance and enhanced propension for wider tires.
- Shocks included: SX8000 shocks are included to help maintain ride quality and control with the lifted front end.
- Material & finish: Constructed from 1/4" steel with a durable powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance and long service life.
- Vehicle compatibility: Specifically designed for 2000–2004 Ford F-250/F-350 4WD (gas or diesel). Some installations may require a drop track bar bracket on certain model years.
- Tire compatibility: Supports up to 33" x 12.5" tires for a more aggressive look and improved off-road capability.
- Installation notes: Factory-length front shocks must be replaced with extended shocks to install properly; choose extended shocks/boots if not already purchased.
- Warranty & origin: Backed by a lifetime warranty and proudly made in the USA, reflecting Tuff Country’s 35+ years of suspension experience.
By lifting the front to a level stance and pairing it with SX8000 shocks, this kit reduces front-end dive and body roll, delivering steadier steering and improved handling in corners. The upgrade supports larger tires, expanding your vehicle’s traction and capability whether you’re daily driving, towing, or exploring backroads. With a heritage of practical engineering and a commitment to durable, ride-quality-focused design, this leveling kit offers a reliable, straightforward upgrade backed by a robust warranty.
