This configuration includes a 2 Inch Rear Block Kit for a tail-low to level stance, paired with FOX 2.0 Performance Series rear shocks. FOX 2.0 shocks feature a 2-inch impact extruded aluminum body, internal floating piston (IFP) monotube design, CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum mounting ends, a massive 5/8-inch hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft, race-developed high-flow piston design, application-specific valving, and a long-lasting clear anodized finish.

Overview

BDS steps up the performance and capability of the 2021–2026 Ford F150 4WD with this 4-inch suspension lift kit. Designed to improve stance, performance, and capability, the kit includes everything necessary to set your truck up with clearance for up to 35-inch tires. Up front, the kit utilizes high-arched 1/4-inch thick steel crossmembers, multi-piece differential relocation brackets, and a skid plate designed for off-road protection. Steering geometry is corrected at the new taller ride height with a pair of massive CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles, along with sway bar relocation brackets, brake line brackets, alignment cam bolts, and all required hardware. In the rear, high-strength fabricated lift blocks and longer U-bolts lift and level the stance. Rear shock options include NX2 Nitro Series or FOX 2.0 Performance Series. This kit functions with Blue Cruise.

Important Notes

• 18-inch or larger diameter wheels are required. Stock 17-inch and 18-inch wheels cannot be re-installed. Stock 20-inch wheels can be used with up to a 305/60R20 tire.
• 18-inch wheels with 5–5.5-inch backspacing should be test fit prior to mounting the tire to ensure proper clearance to the steering knuckle/tie rod. 5.5-inch backspacing is highly recommended for tire-to-frame crash bar clearance.
• Models with a 2-piece rear driveshaft WILL require carrier bearing shim kit 122406 (not included with kit).
• Block kits replace the factory 1-1/4-inch block. The stock block will not be reinstalled.
• Crash bars may require modification based on wheel and tire choice. It is the end user's responsibility to ensure modifications are non-detrimental to vehicle safety.
• Does NOT fit diesel models.
• Some trucks with a 2-piece driveshaft may have a recall from Ford regarding the rear driveshaft (Safety Recall 21S25). BDS recommends having this recall procedure performed prior to installing the lift.
• Will not work with models equipped with CCD (Continuous Controlled Damping).
• Requires frame bracket modification.
• Recalibration of your vehicle's Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) cameras, radars, LiDAR, and other sensors may be necessary by your local dealership or ADAS service center to ensure proper functionality of lane keeping, lane departure, parking assistance, blind-spot detection, adaptive cruise control, and other systems. All charges and expenses from dealership calibrations and adjustments are the sole responsibility of the vehicle owner.
