About this kit

2.5-Inch Lift Kit with N3 Shocks, fitment-checked

Rough Country 42230 is a 2.5-inch lift kit for the 1980–1996 Ford F-150 RWD, built around lifted front coil springs, drop brackets for the radius arms and I-beams, 2-inch rear lift blocks with U-bolts, and two pairs of N3 shocks. It opens up room for tires measuring up to 32 inches and trims out the factory front-to-rear rake.

This 2.5-inch lift kit for the 1980–1996 Ford F-150 RWD covers the Base, Custom, XL, XLS, XLT, XLT Lariat, Special, Eddie Bauer, Lightning, and Ranger submodels listed in the fitment section. The front half uses lifted coils with radius-arm and I-beam drop brackets; the rear runs 2-inch blocks, U-bolts, and hardware. Both axles get N3 shocks. Rough Country lists the job at 6-8 hours, so plan a full day in the driveway, and pull up the downloadable installation guide before you start so you know which brackets come off first.
