This 2017–22 Ford F250/F350 4WD 4″ Budget System is designed as an entry-level suspension upgrade that delivers increased ride height while maintaining factory ride characteristics. Fabtech engineered this system to offer an affordable, reliable solution for Super Duty owners wanting improved stance and the ability to run larger tires without the higher cost of a full suspension overhaul.
The system retains the factory front coil springs and adds a heavy duty steel upper spacer to achieve a full 4″ of lift. Radius Arm drop brackets reposition the factory arms to maintain proper caster at the new ride height, ensuring stable steering and predictable handling.
A specially designed Trac Bar relocation bracket re-centers the front axle while still functioning correctly with the stock Pitman Arm. This eliminates the need for a Pitman Arm replacement, reducing installation time and overall cost. Rear lift is achieved through lift blocks and extended u-bolts, maintaining factory load capacity.
Once installed, this system provides clearance for 35″ tires with minor inner fenderwell trimming, suitable for street driving and light off-road use. It is a practical, cost-efficient upgrade for drivers seeking improved height, tire fitment, and dependable performance.
