About this part

2.5-Inch Loaded Strut Leveling Kit, fitment-checked

Each strut in Rough Country 501001 arrives with its coil already loaded, so leveling a 2004–2008 Ford F-150 4WD or AWD is a bolt-in swap rather than a spring-compressor job. It cannot be stacked with a strut spacer, and it skips trucks with the Heavy Duty Payload Package (seven-lug hubs) as well as 2004 Heritage models. Backed by a 3 Year Limited Warranty.

This 2.5 inch leveling kit for the 2004–2008 Ford F-150 4WD and AWD replaces the front struts outright, from XL and STX up through King Ranch, Harley-Davidson Edition, and the 60th Anniversary Edition. Because the coil is preloaded, most driveways see it done in 2-3 hours with hand tools. The 1 3/8-inch bore body is nitrogen charged and finished in silver powder coat. Confirm your truck is not a seven-lug Heavy Duty Payload truck and not a 2004 Heritage before ordering, then pull the downloadable installation guide. Shipping weight: 63.9 lb.
