Installing a 3" leveling kit on a 1994 Ford F150 2WD truck looks totally different!! 1988,1989,1990,1991,1992,1993,1994,1995,1996 Wheels are 15"x10" and tires are 275-60-R15 / roadfurylifts
Thank you guys for posting this video!. I inherited my grandpa's 96 f150 2wd and have been looking for good examples of leveling these trucks. We intend to fully restore our truck so keep the videos coming please!
That's pretty cool! I inherited my grandpas 92 f150 2wd and I'm doing the same thing. I was able to figure out everything until I got to the spacer for the shock, and so here I am lol.
Im in the same boat! My gramps just gave me his 1991 f250 reg cab 2wd with the 5.8. 48k original miles, just not running, parked in 2010. Hoping to get it started this 4th of july weekend!
15" x 10" rims 275/60 r15 tires I have never measured the offset so I'm not sure about that if I had to make a guess they are probably about 4" offset.
Yep sure did. Had my truck in for another minor problem but knew once in a while hitting a bump would make the front end shutter. After explaining the problem to the mechanic shop they said they knew what the problem was the ball joints. Like an idiot, I said go ahead and repair it thinking the cost would be 7-800 they fixed it and called me to pick it up and handed me a bill for 1400. I had no choice but to pay for it. Lesson learned.
I know, there was NO physical way I could have done this myself, but had my f150 done months later at a shop that was 700.00 That's probably a ton to much also.
So I’ve been wanting to buy some 2-3in blocks. Most of the ones I’ve seen say that they won’t work on xl/xlt, ext cabs models. I’m assuming it’s all the same front suspension. Am I missing something?
The older Fords don’t have adjustable ball joints just solid king pins, if you can find an alignment shop that can work with these trucks you would probably be good.👍
I think the old shocks would have been long enough but we replaced on them because we had the other ones laying around and they were in better shape. Now for the camber question we put the largest degree bushing we could find in the top ball joint and actually had to grind some off the top of the spindle for clearance when it turned. The final readings are 1/2 degree positive on both sides. That is not ideal and I would have loved to get a tiny bit of negative camber in it but that is the limitations of the stock suspension. We have a plan to lower the inner pivot points on the swing arms to reduce that but haven’t had a chance to get that done yet. (Planing on shooting a video on that as well👍) he has put about 3,000 miles on it since the lift and the tires are wearing good with no issues so I’m not terribly concerned about the camber so far. Thanks for the comment👍
no no no this is all wrong, you gotta cut the springs in the back, slam that bumper on the ground for your invisible trailer and point the headlights at the sky, I mean come on...
Looks great. I have the same truck but a 95 . How much drag did it create lifting that front end? Love the look but not trying to sacrifice any more mpg… LGB
We haven’t noticed a change in MPG. But he just drives it back and forth to school and work never really getting on a freeway or interstate just drives mostly in 55 zones👍 thanks for the comment
