Four inches of lift, forged aluminum upper control arms, and M1 monotube struts combine in a single bolt-on package for the 2021-2026 F-150 4WD. Rough Country engineered this kit to deliver genuine off-road capability and a commanding stance without requiring any cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications to the factory chassis. The entire setup is reversible to stock if needed, and installation runs approximately 5-6 hours with basic hand tools.
Forged aluminum upper control arms and knuckles raise the bar. Conventional lift kits rely on steel knuckles that add unsprung mass and slow steering response. Rough Country's forged aluminum knuckles weigh roughly 50% less than comparable steel units, reducing unsprung mass so the suspension tracks terrain faster and steering input translates more directly. Optimized ball joint angles keep wear predictable and geometry correct through the full range of suspension travel. Durable rubber bushings round out the control arm assembly for quiet, long-term operation.
M1 monotube struts and shocks deliver real ride quality. The front M1 monotube struts replace the factory units entirely and are tuned for the F-150's weight and common use cases, from highway miles to trail use. Paired M1 rear shocks work alongside the included rear lift blocks and U-bolts to level the truck front to rear, giving the F-150 a balanced, aggressive stance rather than the nose-high look of a simple leveling kit.
Complete front and rear hardware included. The front of the kit contains two forged upper control arms, two M1 monotube struts, two aluminum knuckles, and all necessary hardware. The rear includes two lift blocks, U-bolts, and hardware. Nothing additional is needed to complete the lift at the specified ride height.

Note: Fits 2021-2026 F-150 4WD models only. Does NOT fit standard cab models. Does NOT fit models equipped with the Continuous Control Damping (CCD) system. Does NOT fit Tremor models, as they are equipped with a factory 1-inch lift.
