1997-2003 f150 5" lift kit rough country torsion bar removal tool 

I have been looking for a video for these trucks like this forever. No one has ever made one. Thank you

Doing the same lift on the same truck and struggling with the torsion bars, thanks for sharing!

I just bought the same identical truck a few months ago. It has the same lift Thank God it was already done. I love my new old truck.

I love this. I have an 03 which is getting this and a 18 sub. Thank you for posting this, this makes it alot easier

Very great and informative video! I have an 02 FX4 Supercrew that I want to lift eventually, but for now, it fits nicely in the garage lol. It seems intimidating how you had to build the spacers yourself, but they look amazing!

Thank you so much for making this video.

Thank you so much for making this video it helps a lot.

The A arm popping it off the knuckle trick👌

thanks for the video, i'm putting a 6" lift kit from cheap country on my 99 f150 and was wondering jow to do this without the torsionbar key, and mione are rusty as hell too.

I think i speak for a few please continue with videos on this truck lol

A little heat with MAP gas torch and an air hammer would get those torsion bars right out....The truck turned good...there nothing like the look of a lifted 10th gen.

Tengo una troka,,me voy animar hacerlo,,gracias

If you jack the front end up and install cement blocks under the frame so the front tires are hanging and off the ground a bit , you won't need any special tools to remove the locking bolt in the key . But I had too break the key to free the torsion bar hex end because it was frozen solid.

Awesome video!

I don’t t remember where I saw them but I found a set of key adapters that keep the torsion arms up in the factory position instead of dropping them way down with your setup. Have you seen these and what do you think if so?

What did you use for spacers between the nuts on the u-bolts and the ubolt plate?

Gave a thubs up, but wanted to know how to remove the lower swing ams and get them away from the torsion bars

Thanks for the information I had to do the same thing tool was un able thanks.

Use the torsion key decompression tool on the torsion bars. Worked twice due to my jackwagon self putting the keys in wrong the first go around. 🤦‍♂️

Hows the truck holding up these days? how the control arm? looking to get this done on my 2003

Would that fit on a 2w f150

Hi Kris, I'm tearing down a 2000 F150 7700 parts truck to rebuild my 2003 F150 7700 and I'm just about ready to drop the transmission/transfer case. I see that you removed the torsion bar mounting cross member w/the bars, and tensioner intact. If I understand correctly, you didn't need to relieve tension at the tensioner device because you first disconnected the upper A-arm? (This next question is dumb) But why can't I just back off the torsion device tensioning bolt without using the special C-clamp tool?, Thanks. Tim

I have a five lug 4x4 2003 f150 how do I put those kind of rims on my truck

How did you get 6 lug on that truck?

Where did you get your tow mirrors?

What size tires are on here

I can't find the differential drop brackets could you help?

Where I find this lift kit?

I have a 2001 f150 4wd i can never find anyone doing much to them lol Yours is the perfect height. Where did you get your wheel spacer that convert to 6 lug? My truck has old weld racing wheels that are 5 lug but i'd love to get something newer looking

Hey I installed the rough country 4 inch lift, how did you do the break line to the caliper, did you extent the break lines?

Wow the only thing you forgot to do is replace that one bolt on the top right-hand side on the bottom left-hand corner

Nice truck, and great video. Did you put a steering stabilizer ..?

What are measurements from floor to fenders?

Nice video where did you get the wheel adapter from

My question is can the torsion bar be removed from the factory lower control arm completely ?

Got a 2001 f150 think about doing this

How exactly did you remove the torsion crossmember from the frame. I am working on doing the same thing to my truck and for the life of me I can't get the torsion bar assembly out of the frame.

gatta ask whats up with the non-factree two tone paint, i mean it looks kinda dope, but whyyyyyy

You named the video about a tool. I dont think I saw that the tool once lol Nice work though 🍺

Question: when you replaced all your suspension components did you send it out for an alignment or did it all fall back into place? I am redoing my 97 4X4 off road with upgraded stock kit. Great Video BTW!!

What mirrors are those?

Dem two inch drop lowered it two inches

Dam torsion clamp unholder

Your better off having the back slightly lower than the front it handles way better

How did you do on the back???

Man I hope you've improved on your jack stand techniques. Because in the beginning you are under that truck with what looks like 2 jack stands with a wooden 4x4 block in between the jack stand and truck on one side, and it's barely on the frame it appears. On the other side it's a 2x4 block that's 2 long and it's barely in-between the stand and frame like edge of the 2x4. Even if they were properly aligned you don't use blocks between the 2. Now not recommended but I sometimes do this, you can put the wood(s) under the jack and on stable ground. Accurately: jack stands of proper height and size. Leave working properly jack closest to you and where you are working. 1,2,3, or 4 of the vehicles rim(tire) laying flat near your position or the closest to ground part of the vehicle that isn't suspension related. Chock wheels left on the vehicle. Etc etc ... great video though just wanna bring awareness like someone did me before it was 2 late. Stay safe

I'd take those spacers off there not legal cus the rim isn't resting in the centre like a hub ur whole weight of truck and rim is all on lugs besides this being very dangerous to u and to others . Hub centric is what u need besides that truck looks good good video

Heat with a little wd 40 would have made them come out there never going to come out with just a hammer get a torch heat it up to cherry ball red pops right out
