About this kit
3-Inch Lift Kit with M1 Struts and Shocks, fitment-checked
Rough Country 54540RED pairs an M1 loaded strut set with a matching M1 monotube shock pair to lift the front of a 2014-2020 Ford F-150 4WD by 3 inches. It will not work on regular or standard cab trucks, or on models with the Heavy Duty Payload Package (seven-lug). Shipping weight: 94 lb.
The M1 hardware is what sets this 3-inch lift kit for the 2014-2020 Ford F-150 4WD apart: the box carries an M1 loaded strut pair up front and an M1 monotube shock pair for the rear, plus forged aluminum upper control arms that keep ball joint angles near stock. Fitment covers XL, XLT, STX, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Limited, FX4, and SSV 4WD applications. Standard and regular cabs are out, as are seven-lug Heavy Duty Payload trucks. Bolt-on installation, no cutting or drilling, and the setup can be returned to stock later.
