The Super Duty Backcountry 2.0 system is designed for people seeking the best ride on and off-road quality on a budget; basically, the commuter for those that want to have a little dirt-road fun in their 8,500lb truck without losing the on-road ride quality or usability for which the truck was designed. You’re no longer limited to the highway while gravel roads become uninteresting as you can drive them at speed with one hand on the wheel. Utilizing Carli SPEC 2.0” Remote Reservoir Shocks, we’ve developed a tune that delivers all around comfort and ride quality designed for on-road, in town, highway, towing/hauling as well as slow to mid speed off road use.
The truck will sit 4.5” higher in the front with this lift and have more wheel travel thanks to the taller, Progressive Rate Coil Springs. Radius Arm Drop Brackets reset the pivot point and keep the travel linear for the best ride while the Sway Bar Link & Drop Brackets Kit resets the sway bar engagement point. The End Link/sway bar drop kit is listed as an “option”, but it’s necessary to run, unless you opt for the torsion sway bar which dramatically improves ride, but isn't recommended for trucks with in bed campers or a high center of gravity.
Bump Stop Drops protect the shocks from over-compressing, the Adjustable Track Bar centers the front axle and Stainless Brake Lines firm up braking and ensure there is enough line for the newfound travel. To round off the front end, we include Caster Shims to correct alignment.
This kit REQUIRES the addition of a rear lift option, unless you want a front high stance. Please note that the addition of Carli rear leaf springs will dramatically reduce payload/ towing capacity with an F-450 in favor of better ride quality. We offer a Carli rear airbag kit which has a 2,000 pound capacity per bag, but that will not retain complete factory capacity on these F-450 trucks. If your trailer tongue weight or camper is over about 3,000 pounds, you'll want to stick with the stock rear leaf springs and select the rear block kit option.
Please note that the exact lift amount of these systems can vary slightly depending on how the truck is optioned from Ford, but the truck will sit level with a Carli rear leaf or 5" block.
This system fits Ford F-450 4x4 trucks from 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024+
