Rough Country's 4-Inch Suspension Lift For The '09-'10 Ford F150 - Four Wheeler Magazine
Ford redesigned the F-150 for the 2009 model year and the changes were substantial. For those of us who love the dirt, the FX4 package got a brand-new rear electronic locker in addition to all the other FX4 goodies like increased skidplating, specific shock tuning, 3. 73:1 gears, and 32-inch tires. The '09 F-150 FX4 had an unremarkable 23. 7-degree approach angle, 20. 7-degree departure angle, and 8. 7 inches of ground clearance. We recently had the opportunity to travel to Rough Country Suspension in Dyersburg, Tennessee, and install their brand-new 4-inch suspension lift for the '09-'10 F-150. This kit is one of three kits that Rough Country offers for this generation of... The 4-inch kit includes everything you need to lift the F-150. Up front, it includes crossmembers, knuckles, strut spacers, differential drop brackets, and driveshaft spacer. Out back, it includes lift blocks, U-bolts, Performance 2. 2 shocks and various brackets. When installed, the kit allows fitment of up to a 35x12. 50 tire on an 8-inch-wide wheel with 41/2 to 5 inches of backspacing. The kit installed without any headaches and we liked that there was no mystery as to where to make the cuts in the rear crossmember thanks to the easy to use templates. Source: www.fourwheeler.com
