Description

Overview

The Tuff Country 22961 is a 2.5-inch front leveling lift kit for the 2000–2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty. It lifts the front of the truck to sit level with the rear, which allows slightly larger tires and removes the factory nose-down rake.

The leveling kit is designed to keep a factory or near-factory ride quality. It is a direct-fit part for the front position.

Key features

  • 2.5-inch front lift
  • Front position, direct fit
  • Designed to allow slightly larger tires

Front-only lift considerations

A front-only leveling kit corrects the nose-down stance of a Super Duty but leaves the rear at its existing height. That makes it a common choice for owners who carry light loads but want the front and rear to sit level. Heavier payloads or towing may push the rear down again, so consider how the truck is used.

Check the front alignment after installing the kit, and look over the steering linkage, brake hoses and shock mounts for clearance. Tire choice matters too, because larger tires add rolling diameter and can rub at full lock if clearance is tight. Re-check fasteners after the first few drives.

  • Confirm the truck is a 2000 to 2004 model year before ordering
  • Check front clearance at full steering lock
  • Plan an alignment after installation

Questions & Answers

Does the Tuff Country 22961 fit a 2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty?

Yes. It fits the 2000-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty, which includes 2003 models. Confirm your year, model and trim before ordering.

How high does the 22961 kit lift the front?

It lifts the front 2.5 inches and is a front-position part, so the rear of the truck is not raised by this kit. Confirm your year, model and trim before ordering.

Does the kit fit a 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty?

No. The F-350 Super Duty is covered for 2000 to 2004 only, so 2008 models fall outside the range. Confirm your year, model and trim before ordering.

Can I install a rear lift kit later?

Yes, a rear lift can be added later, though the front and rear should be planned together. Adding height at the rear changes the stance and may require different shock lengths. Ask the installer to confirm clearance and alignment after both changes are complete.
