About this kit

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

Rough Country 53450 is a 4.5-inch lift kit for the 2015-2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4WD in XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum trim. Four Vertex 2.5 shocks are part of the kit. It does not fit F-350, gas-engine, or dually trucks, and it is not for trucks with rear overload springs — those take SKU 567.20 instead. Trucks with a 2-piece rear driveshaft also need a carrier bearing drop bracket.

This 4.5-inch lift kit for the 2015-2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4WD pairs front coil springs and a bracket box kit with a 4.5 in fabricated block and U-bolt package for the rear, plus two front and two rear Vertex 2.5 shocks. Radius arm drop brackets are included so caster can be set back into the factory range, which keeps steering feel close to stock. Confirm the diesel, single-rear-wheel, non-overload configuration before ordering, then work from the downloadable Rough Country installation guide. Shipping weight: 226.0 lb.
