Overview
The Tuff Country 24832K is a 4 inch lift kit for the 1986–1997 Ford F-350 and the 1997 Ford F-250 HD. The kit details give a 4 inch lift and a 3 inch rear lift, and Tuff Country lists its lift height range as 3 to 4.99 inches.
The kit includes front springs, a pitman arm and a track bar bracket, along with a sway bar end link. At the rear it uses blocks, an add-a-leaf and U-bolts, and a brake line extension is included. Shocks are not included.
The brand has engineered its lift kits for quality and simple installation, and it backs them with a limited lifetime warranty. The fitment covers the Base, Custom, Eddie Bauer, Special, XL, XLT and XLT Lariat F-350 trims and the XL and XLT F-250 HD trims.

Steering and brake checks
The pitman arm and track bar bracket change steering geometry, so the steering box, drag link and tie rods see a different angle than stock. Look for play in the steering wheel, uneven tire wear and wandering on the highway after installation, since these often point to a geometry or alignment issue rather than a worn part.
Brake lines usually need attention after a lift. A brake line extension should be routed without tight bends or contact with the frame or suspension, and the flex hoses should have room to move through the full suspension travel. Inspect the lines at each oil change and replace any that show cracks, chafing or leaks.
- Drag link and tie rod ends for play
- Track bar bushings for wear
- Brake line routing and clearance
- Alignment after the first week of driving
