Upgrade Your 2014-2026 Ford F-150 Front Suspension with the Zone Offroad 6-Inch Pre-Assembled Loaded Strut
The Zone Offroad ZONF4601 is a pre-assembled loaded strut designed for the 2014-2026 Ford F-150 4WD. This single strut is a direct front suspension replacement that delivers 6 inches of front lift when paired with the appropriate rear suspension components. Unlike strut spacers that stack additional hardware on top of the factory strut, the ZONF4601 replaces the entire factory strut assembly with a purpose-built unit engineered for the lifted ride height.
The loaded strut design means the spring, mount, and strut body come fully assembled, eliminating the need for a spring compressor tool during installation and reducing installation time significantly. Zone Offroad backs the ZONF4601 with their Factory Protection Plus coverage, which includes a limited lifetime warranty and ESC system compliance testing. Note that this is a single strut. Two units are required for a complete front pair.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Zone Offroad ZONF4601?
The Zone Offroad ZONF4601 is a pre-assembled 6-inch loaded front strut for the 2014-2026 Ford F-150 4WD. It replaces the entire factory front strut assembly with a purpose-built unit designed to deliver 6 inches of front lift as part of a complete Zone Offroad suspension system. It is sold as a single strut.
Do I need two ZONF4601 struts for my F-150?
Yes. This listing is for a single strut. A complete front strut replacement requires two units, one for the driver side and one for the passenger side. Order two of the ZONF4601 to complete the front pair on your 2014-2026 F-150.
Does the ZONF4601 work without a spring compressor?
Yes. The loaded strut design means the spring, upper mount, and strut body are pre-assembled at the factory. You do not need a spring compressor to install the ZONF4601, which makes installation significantly faster and safer compared to rebuilding individual strut components.
What rear lift is needed to pair with the ZONF4601 6-inch front strut?
A 6-inch front loaded strut requires a matching rear suspension component to achieve a level, properly calibrated lift stance. Refer to the Zone Offroad complete lift kit fitment guide for the 2014-2026 F-150 to select the correct rear add-a-leaf, block, or coil kit that pairs with 6-inch front lift on your specific cab and bed configuration.
Does the ZONF4601 fit F-150 models with MagneRide suspension?
Zone Offroad lift components are generally not compatible with factory MagneRide magnetic ride control suspension. Confirm fitment for your specific build using the Zone Offroad fitment guide or contact Zone Offroad support before ordering if your F-150 is equipped with MagneRide.
What tires can I run with a 6-inch lift on the 2014-2026 F-150?
A 6-inch lift on the 2014-2026 F-150 typically allows fitment of up to 37-inch tires depending on wheel offset, backspacing, and body style. Refer to Zone Offroad's recommended wheel and tire fitment guide for the specific tire and wheel combination tested for your build.
What warranty covers the Zone Offroad ZONF4601?
The ZONF4601 is covered under Zone Offroad's Factory Protection Plus, which includes a limited lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship, ESC system compliance testing to FMVSS 126 standards, and a 5-year/100,000-mile drivetrain warranty.
Is the ZONF4601 a direct bolt-on replacement?
Yes. The Zone Offroad ZONF4601 is designed as a direct front strut replacement for the 2014-2026 Ford F-150 4WD. No cutting, welding, or chassis modification is required. Standard hand tools and the ability to properly torque strut mounting fasteners are sufficient for installation.
