Rough Country 2.5" Lift Kit w/N3 Struts for 2004-2008 Ford F-150 4WD - 57031

Honestly, pretty easy install. If you can take apart a puzzle and put it back together you can do this. Took about an 1.5 hours, for me atleast. Rides like butter compared to the work out ones I had on. If these last 3+ years, more than worth the money.

Easy to put on, rear shocks were easy, did not use the rear spacer kit, but I think it needs it, will add photo when I do. Front was a little more challenging paired with KSP upper control arms. Removed upper control arm, disconnected vent and abs lines. Disconnected the bottom sway bar link. Replace rotors and pads while I was in there so made it a little easier. It feels a little bouncy and you will need an alignment.

All parts were a direct fit into my 04 F150 4x4. Recommend fully disassemble both front assemblies so your sway bar moves easier to connect… ride is nice and truck looks good.

Absolutely crap shocks! This kit is a scam. If you run 35’s this kit is guaranteed to give you the rodeo ride of your life! You’re going to end up replacing the rear shocks and front struts to tame them. Don’t waste your money! Replaced mine with Bilstein and rides like a new truck on the road without the wild bronk bucking everytime you run over a leaf!! I positively cannot say enough bad about this kit.

I did lots of research before I finally pulled the trigger on these. I searched online and many people bashed the brand and its quality and some defended it. The reason i purchased these was the value for my money. I purchased the front strut assembly and rear shock with lift block combo and for about 370 that was the best value for my dollar. Specially since at this moment most of my driving consists of being on pavement, I couldnt justify spending +700 on other suspensions. I imstalled them in a 06 f150, xlt supercrew and well they were honestly easier than i expexted,(your experience may differ Ive been wrenching on projects for a while) with that said if youre not comfortable installing it then go to your trusty technician. The ride is maybe slightly stiffer, but honestly my shocks were atleast 14 years old so i think anything would be stiffer than those. It takes absorbs much more my previous shocks did. I have no idea how long these will last but if they last for atleast 5 years then its a great investment in my opinion.
