Ford F-150 Lift Kits: A Buyer's Guide by Truck Year and Drive

Buyer’s guide · ICON Vehicle Dynamics, Eibach, Skyjacker, ReadyLift · written November 5, 2026

See all Ford F-150 lift kits we carry →

Picking an F-150 lift kit comes down to four checks, in this order. First the model year, because each kit here is written for a year range. Second the drive, because many kits are for 4WD or 2WD only. Third the trim and engine. Fourth how much of the truck you want to change.

This guide covers the ICON, Eibach, Skyjacker and ReadyLift kits we carry. Every figure comes from the product's own fitment and notes. The fitment table on each product page is the final word on your truck.

What every owner has to check

These checks decide more orders than lift height does.

Trucks from 1973 to 1996: Skyjacker

Skyjacker covers the oldest trucks here. Every kit states that other parts are required for a complete set.

174PK-B is a 4 in. lift kit with front coil springs, rear Add-A-Leafs and Black MAX shocks. It fits the 4WD F-100 in 1973 to 1975 and the 4WD F-150 in 1977 to 1979.

For 1980 to 1996, the 182 family gives 1.5-2 in. of lift. 182K and 182K-N are for the F-150 and Bronco. The F-150 rows are 4WD, and the Bronco row states no drive. 182K needs oversized camber/caster shims, and 182K-N comes with Nitro shocks. 182-N gives 2 in. of front lift with Nitro shocks, and its fitment table also has F-250 and F-350 rows, and its drive differs by row. 182P2K-M is the 2WD kit, with M95 Performance shocks, and it fits the F-150, F-250 and F-350.

286PK-A and 286PK-AB are 6 in. kits for the 4WD F-150 from 1980 to 1996. 286PK-AB comes with Black MAX shocks and a rear block. 286PK-A may need end links on trucks with a factory sway bar.

2009 to 2013

ICON's systems for these years all use coilovers that give 0-2.63 in. of front lift. The 4WD parts are K93001, K93002, K93002T, K93003 and K93003T. The 2WD parts are K93010, K93011 and K93011T.

The stage number changes the rear shocks and the arms. Stage 1 has no arm upgrade. Stage 2 adds upper control arms. In Stage 3, the rear shocks become 2.5 Aluminum Series units, and K93003 and K93003T use them. The T at the end of a part number means tubular upper control arms. Without it, the arms are billet.

Eibach has two 4WD options for the same years. E30-35-002-02-20 is a set of 2 front springs that raise the front 2.0 in. and must be used with Eibach Pro-Truck Sport front shocks. E80-35-002-01-22 is a set of 4 shocks and 2 front springs, with +2.0 in. at the front and +0-1 in. at the rear.

2015 to 2020

ICON's 4WD systems are K93081, K93082, K93082T, K93083, K93084 and K93084T. The coilovers give 0-2.63 in. of front lift, and Stage 4 starts at 2 in. Power-Stroke diesel models get 0-2.13 in. on the Stage 1 to 3 parts and 1.5-2.13 in. on Stage 4.

The 2WD systems are K93091, K93092, K93092T, K93093 and K93093T. Their coilovers give 0-3 in., and Power-Stroke diesel models get 0-2.5 in. On every tubular part in this section, ICON says to use OE spindles only.

Eibach has two parts for these years. E30-35-037-01-20 is a set of 2 front springs for 2015-2023, and its fitment table carries front figures of +2.7 in. and 3.0 in. E80-35-035-01-22 is a set of 4 shocks and 2 front springs for the 4WD F-150 in 2015-2018 and 2020, with +2.7 in. at the front and +0-1 in. at the rear.

2021 to 2025: the ICON systems

The part title gives the front range. Three families cover these trucks, each with a different amount of lift.

K93123 is the 2WD system for 2021-2023. It has remote reservoir front coilovers with 0-3 in. of lift, and it excludes trucks with BlueCruise.

The Tremor and the Raptor

The Tremor systems are K93161, K93161T, K93162 and K93162T. They give 2.5-3 in. of front lift with coilovers cut to Tremor length. Stage 2 has piggyback reservoir rear shocks. The year range is 2021 to 2024, and they work with OE knuckles only.

For the Raptor, K93153 is a full system for 2017 to 2020. It has 3.0 Series coilovers with 1-3 in. of front lift, bypass rear shocks, billet upper control arms and a multi-rate leaf spring. 2019-2020 trucks with factory Live Valve shocks need ICON's Damper Interface Device.

95120 is a rear air bump kit for the 2010 to 2014 SVT Raptor. It uses hydraulic air bumps with 2.5 in. of travel and bolts on without removing the bed.

Rear blocks and front kits: ReadyLift

ReadyLift's rear block kits are 26-2105 at 5.0 in. for 2009 to 2019, 26-21400 at 4.0 in. for 2021 to 2025 and 66-2555 at 5.5 in. for the 4WD F-150 in 2004 to 2020. 26-2105 is designed for use with ReadyLift's Off Road 7 in. kit.

44-21630 is a front kit with tapered strut spacers, a carrier bearing drop bracket and a differential skid plate. It is only for CCD equipped trucks, and shocks are not included.
