4.5 inches of lift on my ’21 F-150 and it looks absolutely aggressive. The suspension geometry feels dialed in and the highway ride is smooth.

Lifted my ’21 F-150 4.5 inches with this kit to fit 35s and the stance turned out exactly as I pictured it. Ride quality held up well, no harshness over rough pavement despite the increased height. My installer said all the brackets lined up precisely with no need to force anything into place. Handling at highway speed remained stable and predictable, no wandering that some lift kits introduce. No rubbing at all even at full steering lock with the larger tires mounted. Excellent lift for a newer F-150 that still needs to be a daily driver.
