@jasonthomsen9724 2 года назад

at 15:07 looks like he had to wallow out the hole further from the edge. Might have had the template in the wrong spot.

@Another_Saved_Sinner 9 месяцев назад

He had two centerpunch marks to choose from, he chose the wrong one. Personally, I would have drilled my holes first, then adjust my cut line to leave 1.5× the hole dia to the edge. But what do I know? I just prefer my shit not fall apart while driving.

@TheScottfourty4 5 лет назад

Not gonna lie... that 5/8" hole that was drilled looked a little sketchy with how little steel was left on that top side.

That's what you get when someone who's inexperienced or simply doesn't give a shit. It could be both in this case, who knows? Cheap labor isn't skilled and skilled labor isn't cheap. You get what you pay for. The fact that they did it AND left it in the video tells me all I need to know about these yayhoos.

Singing a drill at high speed isn't the move here. Would have been better with a clean pilot hole and finished off with a step bit. More than likely that drill walked.

I just purchased a used F-150 that already had a self leveling kit so I was researching a 4" lift kit to see if the extra 2" is worth it...I don't think so but my girlfriend said it would definitely be worth it if I added 2 inches to something else...Dooooeeee!

@international-arms-dealer 5 лет назад

shouldn't you wait until the truck is on the ground, with the shocks/struts loaded, before tightening them? wouldn't your way damage the bushings and such?

@Another_Saved_Sinner 9 месяцев назад

Definitely would cause premature failure if not addressed, but since it needs alignment, I'd venture to say that they will all be reset while on the rack. Let's hope.

@edwardkareem6446 2 года назад

I seen other professional shops install those rear shocks upside down just like the other competition shocks Fox, Bilstein and King rough country says to install them with the body facing down I noticed my truck was too bouncy so I flipped them around and no more bounciness

@Tazzspaz 3 месяца назад

Following up on other comments on the screwed up bracket hole. Compare 12:21 13:37 14:20 there is definitely something sketchy going on. The template used at 12:21 is different than 13:37. At 13:37 the template looks aligned and punched correctly. But you can't tell where the edge of the bracket is relative to the desired hole. Then at 14:20 way too close to the edge compared to the desired location on template at 13:37 . The center of the final hole location also looks higher relative to the corner shown on the template at 12:21. That seems a huge issue for a structural modification.

@tommellos6056 4 года назад

I installed a 3 1/2 in leveling strut spacer with a 1/4 in Lean spacer ( extra 1/2 in) for a total of 4 in lift on my 2012 F-150 FX4, added a rear block, and my truck looks and rides great, with 35 in Yokos on 20's , so glad I didn't have to go through all that drama, and my truck is fully functional, even on off-road trails, so don't let anybody tell you what can't be done!!!

Doubt it matters a lot, but the instructions actually call for the RC block to go on the BOTTOM, not the top. And that is how mine has been for years.
