Factory F-150s sit with a deliberate nose-down rake to compensate for payload, which leaves the front end looking low and limits clearance when the pavement ends. Rough Country's N3 Loaded Leveling Struts correct that geometry with a 2-inch front lift, bringing the front and rear of your 2014-2026 2WD F-150 into alignment without cutting springs, stacking spacers, or disassembling a strut on the driveway. Each unit arrives fully assembled with the coil spring pre-loaded and ready to bolt in.
N3 damper technology in a direct-fit package. The large 1 3/8-inch bore delivers more damping volume than smaller struts, while nitrogen gas charging prevents oil aeration and fade under repeated compression. Precision, velocity-sensitive valving adjusts damping force in proportion to suspension movement, so the strut firms up when the suspension moves fast and softens for low-speed road texture. The result is a controlled ride that stays close to OEM feel despite the added lift.
Construction built for long service life. A hardened, chromed piston rod resists corrosion and maintains a tight seal with the leak-proof piston band throughout the strut's lifespan. Low-friction shock oil reduces internal drag for consistent damping across temperature ranges. The exterior receives a premium silver powder coat that protects the body from rust and road spray.
Straightforward installation with no special tooling. Because the coil spring comes pre-loaded on the strut body, there is no need for a spring compressor or strut disassembly. The units replace the factory struts with a direct bolt-on fit, and most installations complete in 2 to 3 hours. Rough Country backs each set with a 3-year limited warranty.
