MotoFab Lifts F150-1.5 - 1.5 in Front Leveling Lift Kit That is compatible with F150

There's no doubt that installation is not an easy task! On top of my struts, this kit fits perfectly. I'm glad I got the 1. I'm glad I went with it. I ended up leveling out my truck with the 5" lift. In my opinion, the 2" spacer would have made the front of the truck look higher than the back, which I did not want given that I occasionally tow trailers on the weekends. It definitely won't take me long to finish this project since I'm pretty good at working with most DIY stuff. If you've worked on cars and trucks before, you'll need the right tools as well as experience in working on them. I wish there had been more tools included with the kit, such as a wrench, a 17mm socket, etc. The kit comes with a list of tools required, but I found that it was not comprehensive. Here are things I wish I had Having a lift, an air impact driver of good quality, and a variety of socket and wrench sizes and lengths will make your job easier. In general, this would apply to almost all auto work, but you get the picture. In order to get the strut in or out, you have to be careful not to tear the brake lines when the control arm falls. Remove the brake caliper and hang it out of the way as soon as possible. By not doing this, you are at risk of damaging your brake lines, which could lead to a tow and an expense that would have been greater than you would have experienced had the lines been installed. When you forget and find yourself in a bind holding it up, while trying to explain to your 7-year-old how to bring you a bungee cord, you may be like me. Do you have a favorite color? Would it be okay if I were to take It's just a matter of bringing (Sweat beads fall to the floor. The work I do as a shade tree mechanic allows me to use hand tools and perform procedures I would not want to My time to complete this project was approximately 7 hours The garage was kept busy for eight hours. Similarly, I went to Precision Tune the following day for an alignment, and it was indeed in need of an In other words, if you are in doubt, assume on that expense as well, or you will ruin your tires fast. Be sure to watch several different YouTube videos on installation so you can learn as many tips as you can. Getting things done on my own is something I take pride in, so I enjoyed doing it. All we spent was the kit, the alignment, and a little of our blood, sweat, worry, and almost tears. In the event that you do not find that fun, then I recommend asking your friends for a recommendation for a good shop nearby. I believe you should support the mechanics in your area,.

The bolts on the 1 have been criticized as being too long in several reviews. There are five levels in this In fact, you need not worry about it if you install it properly. There is no need to pierce the frame to attach the bolts to the spacers. Spacer gets its counterbored holes from the counterbored holes. Four out of the six holes are counterbored on the bottom side and three are counterbored on the top side. All three counterbored holes on the bottom side are As soon as the box is opened, you need to install the provided socket head cap screws into Incorporate the bolts from the bottom side of the spacer through the counterbore and through the Put these in thread locker and tighten them up. Wait a few days so it can Once you have it mounted, you need to put the truck on and install the strut. It is common for people to install the spacer first, then the bolt through the frame into the threaded hole in the spacer, before fitting the bolt to the frame. There will be a bottom out in the bolts and they will appear to be too It is dangerous to use shorter bolts even if they are short. A spacer made of aluminum is used. By torqueing the bolts at the wrong torque, you are going to pull out the threads from the spacer and this will result in the strut not being secure to the frame. The attached pictures show four of the photos.

It appears that the lower strut mount on my 2018 Ford F150 is different from what is shown in the instructions since you need to remove the brake caliper and half shaft nut in order to drop the lower control arm low enough to remove the lower strut studs. Strut lower studs need to be removed once strut has been removed from the car in order to reinstall strut with motofab spacers. Studs are pressed into place and must be removed either by pressing them out or by using a hammer. In my experience, it is easy to hammer the strut into place and then remove it. The studs must then be reinstalled on your truck once the pickup is in place, which requires a lot of If you take your time while doing it, you can get it done right. Be careful with the vacuum hub on the half shaft on reassembly, I found a good video on youtube on how to do it correctly.

1 in the first box. On the super crew 4x4 of my 2010 F150 XTR is a 5 level kit. I love the quality and after you have the bolts released, it is really not too hard to install it. When I first tried 2, it didn't work for me. Despite the fact that it was a level 5, As I have the Max Tow package, the front suspension of my truck differs from a regular four-wheel drive vehicle. Everything fits great, and I was able to fit the Raptor wheels and tires without much difficulty!.

Unfortunately, it did not fit quite how I had hoped. For my 2011 Ford F150 FX4, I bought new upper control arms and struts and wanted a leveling kit while I had everything apart. I only wanted a slight lift, so I purchased a 1. 38-inch lift kit and installed it while the truck was apart. It would have been perfect if the 5 inches had fit the factory mounting holes, but after mounting them I discovered they did not use the factory mounting holes. There was probably a 2mm misalignment in the kit, but this was enough to prevent the bolts from threading in and I did not want to modify my truck where I did not have to. The leveling kit appears to have been manufactured with a manufacturing defect at the time it was made, as some people do not appear to have the same issue as me. Even if I had already replaced my truck's struts, it wouldn't have been a big deal since these would not fit. But I couldn't imagine having to go through all that work and finally get them into the truck only to realize they wouldn't.
