About this kit

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

Rough Country 55051 is a 4.5-inch lift kit for compatible 2017-2022 Ford Super Duty 4WD trucks, built around four Vertex 2.5 shocks, a front CV driveshaft, a coil, and a fabricated block and U-bolt package. Diesel applications only: it does not fit gas engines, dually models, manual shift transfer cases, F-350 models, 4-inch rear axle tubes, Tremor Factory Trim Package trucks, or 2020 trucks with the 10-speed transmission.

This 4.5-inch lift kit for the 2017-2022 Ford Super Duty 4WD covers XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited trims listed in the fitment section, and the exclusion list matters as much as the year range here. Radius arm drop brackets set caster back where the factory steering expects it, and the fabricated rear blocks ship with a 4.5-inch U-bolt kit. Read the diesel-only and dually restrictions closely, then pull the downloadable Rough Country installation guide before you start the job. Shipping weight is 265.48 lb.
