About this kit

4.5-Inch Lift Kit with N3 Shocks, fitment-checked

Rough Country 478.20 is a 4.5-inch lift kit for 2008-2010 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 4WD trucks. The kit pairs a coil setup with fabricated anti-axle-wrap rear blocks, radius arm drop brackets for correct caster, and application-valved N3 series shocks. It does not fit V-8 gas engine or dually models.

This 4.5-inch lift kit for the 2008-2010 Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty 4WD raises the front to sit closer to level with the rear and opens up clearance for larger tires. Trucks with the V-10 gas engine need exhaust modification to clear the front driveshaft, and any factory rear overload leafs must come out during the build. The bolt-on package covers XL through King Ranch, Lariat, FX4, Cabela's, and Harley-Davidson Edition trims listed in the fitment section. Check the exclusions, then use the downloadable Rough Country installation guide to plan your driveway time.
