About this kit

3-Inch Lift Kit with Loaded Struts, fitment-checked

Rough Country 54431 is a 3-inch lift kit for the 2009-2013 Ford F-150 4WD, built around a loaded strut pair and forged aluminum upper control arms. It bolts on without cutting or drilling and can be returned to the factory setup later. Regular and standard cab, Raptor, and Heavy Duty Payload Package (seven-lug) trucks are not covered.

This 3-inch lift kit for the 2009-2013 Ford F-150 4WD ships as a loaded strut pair with new forged aluminum upper control arms that hold ball joint angles in their working range, plus heavy-duty rubber bushings at the arm pivots. The added front height evens out factory rake and opens up ground clearance. Trucks keeping the factory wheels should stay at or under an 11.5 in wide tire; with aggressive sidewalls, Rough Country points to a 0.25 wheel spacer, SKU 1065, for extra room. A downloadable installation guide is available. Shipping weight: 97 lb.
