About this kit

2.5-Inch Lift Kit, fitment-checked

Rough Country 474 is a 2.5-inch lift kit for the 1997–2003 Ford F-150 4WD. It pairs front torsion bar keys with a 1-inch rear lift block and U-bolt package to bring the stance up evenly instead of leaving factory rake. It does not fit trucks with the Heavy Duty Payload Package (seven-lug models).

This 2.5-inch lift kit for the 1997–2003 Ford F-150 4WD combines front torsion bar keys with a 1-inch rear block and U-bolt kit, so the front and rear rise together rather than leaving the truck nose-low. Listed coverage includes Base, XL, XLT, Lariat, and King Ranch 4WD trims. Trucks ordered with the Heavy Duty Payload Package — the seven-lug models — are excluded. Rough Country lists the job at 2-3 hours with no cutting or trimming of the body, and a torsion bar removal tool (1067) makes the front side easier. Shipping weight: 16.5 lb.
