What’s in the box

Kit contents

Priced components are sold separately here, so a worn shock or arm can be replaced on its own later.

Rough Country shares subassemblies across kits, so individual package labels can carry broader application ranges. The complete 28840RED kit fits the vehicles shown in the fitment section above.
