Product Details
Description
Upgrade your 2009–2013 Ford F-150 with the Tuff Country 23005KN 3" Uni-Ball Lift Kit with SX8000 Shocks. Designed for both 2WD and 4WD models, this complete leveling system improves off-road capability while preserving everyday drivability.
- Front Lift Height: 3" suspension lift to increase ground clearance and accommodate larger tires.
- Rear Lift Height: 2" rear lift for a balanced stance and improved overall geometry.
- Shocks Included: SX8000 shocks paired with a rear box kit for reliable damping and travel.
- Upper Control Arms with Uni-Ball Joints: Enhanced articulation and durability with Teflon-lined FK uni-ball joints.
- Articulation & Binding Reduction: 30–35% more articulation than standard joints, reducing binding on rough terrain.
- No Drilling or Welding Required: Straightforward installation with no cutting or modification to the vehicle chassis.
- Ride Comfort: Upper coil/strut spacers preserve a near-factory ride on paved roads while gaining extra clearance off the pavement.
- Tire & Wheel Fit: Compatible with aftermarket wheels with 5" backspacing or less; supports 33" x 12.5" tires with no trimming or 35" x 11.5" tires with minor trimming of the front bumper plastic valance.
- Finish & Build: Black powder coat for rugged durability and corrosion resistance.
- Made in the USA & Warranty: Proudly manufactured in the USA with a limited lifetime warranty for long-term peace of mind.
- Vehicle Fitment: Specifically engineered for 2009–2013 Ford F-150 2WD and 4WD configurations.
This kit translates into real-world benefits: you’ll handle rough terrain with more confidence thanks to improved articulation and suspension travel, while tire size flexibility gives you options for off-road traction. The Uni-Ball joints reduce binding, maintaining predictable steering and ride quality as you navigate rocks, ruts, and uneven surfaces. With no drilling required and a sturdy, American-made build, it’s a practical upgrade for enthusiasts who want capability without complicating daily driving.
