  • Lift Height: Approximately 4 inches of lift to increase ground clearance and accommodate larger tires.
  • Rear Springs: Includes rear leaf spring components to support payload and maintain proper axle position at lift.

This lift kit provides practical, real-world benefits: added ground clearance to tackle rugged terrain, space to fit appropriately sized tires, and improved front-to-rear stance for better visibility and approach angles. The rear leaf spring design supports load-carrying ability for towing or carrying gear, while shocks can be chosen to match your preferred ride feel. With a reputation for durable, value-driven suspension products and a lifetime warranty, this Tuff Country kit is a solid long-term upgrade for your Ford F-250 4x4.
