Fabricated from 1\/4-inch steel with grade 10 hardware, it installs without cutting or welding and reverses to stock just as quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt from Steel, Not Shortcuts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strut spacer is fabricated from 1\/4-inch steel and secured with grade 10 hardware, the same bolt grade used in high-stress structural applications. For a component that sits between your strut and mount and absorbs road and trail forces every mile, that material choice means the spacer is not a weak point in the front suspension stack. Buyers who have watched cheaper aluminum or low-grade-hardware spacers crack or back out after a season off-road will recognize why the spec matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBolt-On Installation, Reversible When Plans Change\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo cutting, no welding, and no permanent modification to the factory strut or mount. The bolt-on design means a capable DIY installer can complete the job with common hand tools, and the truck can return to stock ride height by reversing the same steps. That reversibility matters for buyers who lease, plan to sell, or simply want the option to undo the lift without sourcing replacement parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStock Ride Quality at 3.0 Inches of Lift\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA strut spacer that adds lift without revalving the factory strut preserves the damping characteristics Ford engineered into the F-150's front suspension. The result is 3.0 inches of additional clearance and the ability to run tires up to 33 inches without the harsher ride that comes from a full strut replacement or a poorly matched aftermarket shock. Buyers who use their F-150 as a daily driver and a weekend trail truck benefit from not having to choose between the two roles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3.0-inch lift:\u003c\/strong\u003e raises front ride height to accommodate tires up to 33 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\/4-inch steel construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e fabricated from steel plate for structural durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade 10 hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-strength fasteners included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolt-on installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e no cutting, drilling, or welding required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReversible to stock:\u003c\/strong\u003e factory ride height can be restored without replacement parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStock ride quality:\u003c\/strong\u003e works with the factory strut to preserve factory damping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLift Amount\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3.0 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1\/4-inch steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGrade 10\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaximum Tire Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e33 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e50506-FD\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2004–2008 Ford F-150 2WD\/4WD; 2009–2024 Ford F-150 2WD (Raptor excluded)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThis strut spacer suits 2004–2008 Ford F-150 owners (2WD or 4WD) and 2009–2024 Ford F-150 owners running 2WD who want a modest front lift, clearance for tires up to 33 inches, and a bolt-on installation they can reverse without permanent modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis spacer does not fit the Ford F-150 Raptor in any model year, and it does not fit 2009–2024 F-150 4WD configurations.

Tire fitment can also depend on wheel offset and other vehicle-specific factors not covered by the spacer alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan the truck be returned to stock ride height after installing this spacer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The bolt-on design of the Body Armor 4x4 strut spacer is fully reversible. Removing the spacer restores the factory strut mounting position and stock ride height without requiring replacement suspension components.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Body Armor 4x4","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50545958617158,"sku":"50506-FD","price":127.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2203\/1686\/files\/50506-FD-1-sq.jpg?v=1790914365","url":"https:\/\/terrainvault.com\/products\/body-armor-4x4-3-0-inch-strut-spacer-for-ford-f-150","provider":"TerrainVault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
