Rough Country 54531RED is a 3-inch lift kit for the 2014–2020 Ford F-150 4WD, built around a loaded strut pair with forged aluminum upper control arms and a matching N3 rear shock pair. It bolts on without cutting or drilling. It does not fit regular or standard cab models, and it does not fit trucks with the Heavy Duty Payload Package (seven-lug).
