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

Rough Country 52830 is a 3-inch lift kit for the 1997–2003 Ford F-150 2WD, built around lifted front spindles, 2-inch rear lift blocks with U-bolts and hardware, and two pairs of N3 shocks. It does not fit trucks with the Heavy Duty Payload Package, identified by seven-lug hubs. Bolt-on install with no cutting or drilling.

This 3-inch lift kit for the 1997–2003 Ford F-150 2WD covers Base, XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Harley-Davidson Edition, and Lightning applications listed in the fitment section. Lifted spindles handle the front, while 2-inch blocks, U-bolts, and hardware raise the rear, and the N3 shock pairs and installation kit round out the box. Rough Country lists the ride-height gain as enough room for tires up to 32 inches tall. Install is bolt-on with no cutting or drilling, and Rough Country estimates 4-6 hours. Confirm your truck is not a seven-lug Heavy Duty Payload Package model before ordering.
