4.5" RAD F450 4-LINK LIFT KIT 2017-2022 SUPER DUTY

We are happy to offer our newest suspension lifts! It is our “Identity 4-Link” series. This new series is the perfect balance between those that need an extremely rugged suspension lift, yet still want it to represent the Ultimate in Style! 

We address everything in this kit. Our 4.5" Stryker Ride coils with the Identity Series top spacer are designed to mimic the factory specs and provide a great ride. Our rear blocks have the bumpstop pads built in to utilize the factory rear bumpstops that Ford designed in for the heavy hauling these trucks were designed for. 

We went about it a little different. Instead of offering a leaf adder option we chose to raise the height of your existing leaf springs. Stryker Engineering found that manipulating the OEM Factory Springs resulted in a reduced ride experience for very little lift height improvement!

LADDER TRACTION BAR with NEW Rad Floating Cradle

RADIUS DROP BRACKET

We went about it a little different. Instead of the drop bracket going up inside the factory radius arm pocket, we designed ours to mount uniquely outside. That adds width and strength. These features cost more to produce, but the end result is unmatched. All our steel is U.S. made and is at least ¼”, and in some instances even larger.

BILLET ALUMINUM EXTREME ARTICULATION SWAY BAR END LINK KIT  Stryker Off Road Design is proud to bring you our new 1" OD billet aluminum heavy duty EXTENDED sway bar end links for the Ford F250 F350 F450!  This kit will UPGRADE your factory end links to our new Double Adjustable Heim Jointed Extended Sway Bar End Links. This kit will also upgrade the original ball-jointed, studded factory end links, which bind easy and are prone to breakage as the suspension cycles. These will provide GREATER FLEXIBILITY and DURABILITY while maintaining the proper angles for OPTIMAL Ride Quality. HIGH ARTICULATION LIMITED ROTATION The OEM ball joints can limit active alignment required in End Link applications. PULL OUT STRENGTH The stud of a ball joint can pull out of the housing easier than the bearing on a Heim joint in End Link applications. Of course our extended sway bar end links will also improve the appearance of your F450 Super Duty suspension with Stryker's Rugged Style.

DUAL STEERING STABILIZERS

There is no consensus regarding single versus dual steering stabilizers. But lifted truck projects are usually accompanied with larger tire sizes. Larger tires bring a variety of physical demands for your F450 Super Duty Truck

Vibration:
Vibration is the primary demand to focus on. The original excellent suspension on your F450 can accommodate most of that vibration. But if you improve the handling and ride quality by dampening the added side to side motion of your tires that is the first place to address. Shock absorbers dampen the up and down movement of your Super Duty and they can also dampen the side movement of your larger tires.

Dual Versus Single:
Dual stabilizers dampen the vibrations better than a SINGLE shock tied to one side in OUR opinion. Is the improvement worth the added cost? 

Of course it depends on several subjective INFORMED decisions. If your Lifted Super Duty is actually a daily driver then the performance improvement may not be required. But if you plan to build your Super Duty with the capability of HEAVY OFF ROADING even if you don't go there then DUAL is likely your best investment. The cost ADDER is actually not significant compared to the value of your F450. If your lifted truck has tires 35" or larger you are an excellent candidate to investigate a Steering Stabilizer even if Off Road is not a concern!. 

And then there is the subjective issue of STYLE! What did you want to look at when you see the front of your F450? Stryker's goal is to provide you with RUGGED STYLE™! We are committed to providing performance and style. Review our V1 and V2 offerings including 4 levels of shock upgrades.
