About this kit

4.5-Inch Lift Kit with M1 Shocks, fitment-checked

Rough Country 53040 is a 4.5-inch lift kit for the 2011–2014 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4WD, packaged with two M1 Monotube shock pairs. Diesel, non-dually F-250 only: it does not cover F-350, gas-engine, or dually trucks. Shipping weight: 181 lb.

A 4.5-inch lift kit for the 2011–2014 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4WD, this package is built around two M1 Monotube shock pairs matched to the application. Also in the box: a front coil set, the bracket box kit, and a 4.5-inch fabricated block with a U-bolt kit that does not use overloads. Radius arm drop brackets bring caster back into range so steering feel stays close to factory. Check the exclusions first — F-350, gas-engine, and dually trucks are out, and a 2-piece rear driveshaft calls for a carrier bearing drop bracket. A downloadable Rough Country installation guide is available.
