About this kit

3-Inch Lift Kit with M1 Struts, fitment-checked

Rough Country 54540 is a 3-inch lift kit for compatible 2014–2020 Ford F-150 4WD trucks, built around an M1 loaded strut pair, an M1 monotube shock pair, and forged aluminum upper control arms. It bolts on with no cutting or drilling. It does not fit regular or standard cab models, or trucks with the Heavy Duty Payload Package (seven-lug).

This 3-inch lift kit for the 2014–2020 Ford F-150 4WD arrives as an M1 package: a loaded M1 strut pair for the front, an M1 monotube shock pair, and forged aluminum upper control arms that keep ball joint angles in a working range and ride on heavy-duty rubber bushings. Everything bolts on, so no cutting or drilling is needed, and the truck can be returned to stock later. Regular and standard cab models and seven-lug Heavy Duty Payload Package trucks are excluded. Trucks keeping factory wheels should stay at or below an 11.5-inch tire width. A downloadable installation guide is available.
