About this kit

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

Rough Country 54531 is a 3-inch lift kit for supported 2014-2020 Ford F-150 4WD trucks, built around a loaded strut pair and forged aluminum upper control arms. It bolts on with no cutting or drilling and can be returned to stock later. It does not fit regular or standard cab trucks, or trucks with the Heavy Duty Payload Package (seven-lug hubs).

This 3-inch lift kit for the 2014-2020 Ford F-150 4WD covers FX4, King Ranch, Lariat, Limited, Platinum, SSV, STX, XL, and XLT applications listed in the fitment section. The box ships with a matched loaded strut pair plus upper control arms whose geometry keeps ball joint angles in a working range. Check the exclusions first: regular and standard cab trucks and seven-lug Heavy Duty Payload trucks are out. On factory wheels, stay at or under an 11.5 inch wide tire; aggressive sidewalls may want a 0.25 wheel spacer, SKU 1065. A downloadable installation guide is available.
