Appears not yet, the Ford Performance kit is relatively new and expensive though.

The have posted the new lift on their Ford performance website for $1495 as its "Tuned by Ford Performance"

I really think they had a cheaper lift before this new one which was very similar for sale on the Ford Performance website.
I think the Roush kit is less expensive but by FOX not sold by Ford Performance, both kits look nice, did not see a previous Ford Performance kit (doesn't mean there was not one)

Yep, agreed

That sounds reasonable for the install, seems a bit high on the alignment though. That's just for the level, not UCAs.
Disregard that about the UCAs, I thought the Performance setup came with UCAs.

I have the ford performance M 18000-F15A kit on my truck. It got my truck level as intended and the ride is excellent, much more controlled feeling than stock. I got it from Levittown Ford Parts for about $1250 (FS2020 coupon code gets free shipping too). I had the dealer install it so there wouldn't be any issues with warranty, but in retrospect I should have just had a local off-road shop do it. I was disappointed in the work the dealer did, and the only thing you need to do to keep your warranty intact is have it installed by a certified mechanic. If it wasn't for the warranty I would have done the install myself, the instructions for the kit are excellent.

With leveling kit installed.

I went to put the truck back to OEM to sell, and had to cut the spacers off the OEM shocks due to corrosion. Maybe slather them up with antiseize before installing would help.
I sprayed my 1" aluminum spacers with bedliner before install.

That will likely work.
