Rough Country 3" Lift Kit w/N3 Shocks for 1997-2003 Ford F-150 2WD - 52830

Woohoo Im riding like the big boys in my little F-1 Lifty. all jokes aside after 217,000 miles my suspension was shot it was cheaper to buy the lift kit than to get new shocks so I went for it. No regrets here, I actually like the truck now. As a chevy guy who ended up with a free ford that as of now has cost me almost 7000 dollars I'm honestly impressed with how much better the beat up ol F150 looks in the yard after this upgrade. It was easy to install and only slightly changed the front end alignment. remember to change your upper and lower ball joints when you put this kit on the ol ford cause they are terrible from the factory. Good luck and happy trails

I love being a Dad! This truck is my 15 yr old son’s. I taught him the whole way how to install. It helps to replace ball joints if needed, especially the lowers. It would be wise to purchase two nuts and bolts about 1 1/2” long. I used metric. It’s for the ABS sensors. Also recommend buying wheel seals and repacking front wheel bearings when the hubs are pulled. It’s an extra step but so worth it. If you have ABS, the sensor harness will need to be repositioned so zip tie it in place. There is enough “stretch” for the harness to be routed so no need to worry. The lift will allow 33” tires. I used stock wheels and 285/75/16 mud tires. I had to shave 1/2” of plastic on the front bumper but not noticeable. The easiest way to do the rear is to pull the bed!! Once the bed is pulled, it will take 30 minutes tops. While you are there, you can paint the frame black so that it isn’t an eyesore with the lift. All in all it’s a great product, great package. Rough Country knows it and they don’t need to have a “sale” to reduce inventory which is why I couldn’t find a cheaper price. I even asked the rep for a discount. Nope! Oh well I tried.

F-150 1999 to 2003 owners--be ready for fun!! Remember to buy 2 inch spacers for the back.

Value for this kit and s awesome. If you purchased all of this stuff individually you'd have over $600 into it. Kit went in easy, relatively speaking. This old grampa truck now has a little attitude. Price can't be best ... How much are you really going to spend on a lift for a 2WD. Very happy

Fit was great. Everything bolted right up. Only issue was passenger side inner tie Rod end did not come with grease fitting.

Installed this on my 2003 F150. It has been several months now, and I haven't had any issues with alignment or other problems. It does extend the front wheels out 2" or more. I recommend 2" spaces for the rear wheel if you want to match the stance. It does fling more dirt and mud on the side of the truck with these on there, so I wish that they had not pushed the wheels out 2", so keep this in mind when you purchase these. In all it is a low cost option and the durability has proven to be good so far. No issues with the shocks, they feel as good as the standard Ford shocks.

This definitely changed. The look of the truck. Couldn't be more happy rides. Fairly decent and you're not going to get a cheaper and better lift than this 295-7017s

Was very disappointed with the quality. Ubolt did not thread right with the nuts, kept wanting to cross thread no matter how careful I was. Also top of shocks are much thinner than oem ones, so there’s space in the mounting hole even with the cheap rubber washer. And lastly the spindle doesn’t have holes for dust cover. Yeah it did the job but quality is poor. Buyers beware!!! Seller not at fault, it’s Rough Country.
