About this part

M1 Loaded Strut Pair, fitment-checked

Rough Country 502003 is a pair of M1 loaded struts for 2004-2008 Ford F-150 4WD and AWD models that already have 6 inches of lift. They take the place of existing strut spacers and cannot be stacked with a spacer. Monotube construction with a 46mm digressive piston and an 18mm chromed rod. Warranty: 3 Year Limited Warranty.

This M1 loaded strut pair for the 2004-2008 Ford F-150 4WD suits trucks already sitting on 6 inches of lift, replacing the strut spacers from that earlier setup — a spacer cannot stay in place alongside them. Listed coverage spans XL and XLT through Lariat, King Ranch, Limited, and Harley-Davidson Edition, plus the 2004 F-150 Heritage in XL and XLT. Each strut pairs a 2-inch extruded tube with a 46mm monotube body, self-adjusting deflective-disc valving, and vulcanized natural rubber bushings. Rough Country lists 1-2 hours for the job, and a downloadable installation guide is available.
