2022 F150 Ridetech Drop Kit Full Install 3/5 coil overs and flip kit 

Dope truck … ridetech always delivers ! Hope to see more of the truck in the future. 🤘

Thanks for this video. I been going around and around in my head on doing it myself. Every hurdle you had will save me time later. I’ll save my pennies and do it myself, and just pay for an alignment.

Very good video on the install. I use to make videos a while back on the charger I use to have. Just recently bought a 23 F150 5.0 that I will be doing a build on so it is good to see quality install videos out there

I just finished installing the rear portion of this kit on my 2wd 2018 rcsb. This vid was quite helpful. Sitting perfectly level at the moment with no vibes or noises. Now time to do the front and lower the rear a bit more 👍

Great video. Just ordered same Ridetech kit for my 2021 RCSB. Black Friday sale saved 20%. 😅

Your video was really helpful man, thanks

Very nice truck, great precise job

Clean stuff man 😍

A before and after pinion angle measurement would have been interesting to see but otherwise great job recording and explaining install!

Magnificent looking truck, you have a real gem, extremely hard to find. I have a 2019 5.0 2wd short wheelbase truck also (black). I'm almost 60, grew up with only regular cabs, short and long boxes. My previous truck (which I still drive twice a week) is also a swb 1997 f150 4.2. I was very surprised in pre-covid 2019 at how difficult these are to find. Bought my XL, 101A package, stock in February 2020, price was reduced to 29k as no one wanted it. My dealer traded the other dealer a Fusion as they didn't have another truck on the lot that cheap. I'm to old to do all the mods that your doing. I did do a few items. A Roush catback and a Ford Perf. 2 inch drop for the rear. Also found a fellow doing a chrome delete on his Lariat, so I picked up his grille, LED headlights/foglights, and his 20 inch rims for 2k. Your truck is looking great. I'll subscribe to watch your progress

Really good looking truck sir.

Thanks for posting this. I kept looking for videos on this kit and there wasn’t much out there. I’m planning on doing it on my 23 when it comes in.

Saw all was def the tool to cut those bolts on leaf springs. Would have done it in about 20 secs. Nice video!

Awesome vid, any updates for the ride quality? I have read that some have had pinion angle problems and bed shaking on similar drop kits. So far this one looks like the best bet.

awesome job , bad a** truck subscribed

Looks good👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The flip kit portion is an interesting design. It's different from the Maxtrac one I've installed or IHC's flip kit where you have a plate on the spring perch that U-bolts latch onto. The idea of a ¼" steel plate being the only thing keeping the rear axle together while under crazy stress still doesn't sit well with me. If I didn't have traction bars I would've ended up like a dude on the f150forums...the U-bolts just rolled right through the lips of those plates flattening them during a track pull. Scary stuff. So thinking about weak points to Ridetech's approach using round U-bolts that go directly over the axle...I supposed the nuts themselves would be it. But I guess it's all moot if you have traction bars...keeping the axle straight putting minimal stress on the flip kit. I guess it's just a rule of thumb then...you put any kind of flip kit on, you better have traction bars to keep everything in tact in case you put down some crazy torque...

Amazing trucks just got my 2023 only mine is carbonized grey

Very helpful. I appreciate how you laid out the different shackles side by side and your filming and narration was very clear. You are a natural with only 10 subscribers! I've been saving my empties so I can afford a Ride Tech. A little bummed that there is a fitment issue with the plate and the shock bolt. I guess you felt you did not need the air bags or the anti-sway bar or traction bars they offer? I hope you do another follow up with your ride impressions after you've had it a while. I also bought the Maxtrac 1.25 shackle. Seems good quality but like you I am more of a fan of the rubber bushings so not sure if I will install. I'm curious if using the Maxtrac would actually raise the rear slightly since the axle is flipped?

great video

Awesome video and thank you for this upload. Currently ready to put this kit in our 2023 scsb just like yours, but very confused on the rear shackles. I thought I wanted to use the provided adjustable ones, but use the highest holes to make her as low as possible, assuming it would be to low then? How did your pinion angle come out afterwards with this setup? That rear shackle has everything to do with the pinion angle for sure.

That was definitely a Hold my beer moment

hello ! question where do you buy the clime control lower-trim??? Thank you for your answer

What is your measurements after the drop from ground to fender?

Is there a coil spring conversion from leaf springs available? Seems like it might be easier and better in the long run

5.0 all the way.👍

So sweet.

Looks great !!! Btw what’s the brand of your tonneau cover ?

Thanks

Awesome looking truck, what kind of bed cover are you using if you don’t mind me asking. Thanks in advance

Has that rear shackle been scrubbing ??😮 EDIT: Or was that just from you working on it? Did you have any driveline vibrations? I occasionally use my truck for hauling flooring, carpet , wood ect.... I see you said there was 3 1/2 inchs between th3 bumpstop now.. Any idea how much it squats with a load on it? EDIT 2: As Im watching the entire video , you didnt have a jack under that lower comtrol arm when you took the upper ball joint loose? Final Edit, lol How much adjustment is on the front.. 2 -4 inch drop?

Where could I get those bump stops at?

great video man beautiful truck i have a question if you ever wanted to haul something and lowering the truck would it affect the haul? since its low?

What kind of grease did you use for upper control arms ?

Where can i get those drop shackles

I'm curious why you kept the stock shackles when the RideTech has adjustment holes that basically line up with the factory shackle height? Wondering if I'm missing some benefit I'm not thinking of...

How much did that lower the truck is it under 6ft?

What size tire you running?

15:44 nice cut lmao

Does it bottom out in the rear on large bumps? I have the IHC 3/5 drop on my 21 RCSB and it bottoms in the back. I actually installed Ridetech air bags on mine to help with the bottoming and so I can tow if I want to.

After driving it for 5 months, how would you describe the ride quality? Did you change the dampening settings at all since the install?

I got this same kit and was wondering if you had any vibration in the rear afterwards?

Question on the maxtrac initial shackle drop- did you have to install a shim? Any vibes?

What size tires are those on the 18"'s? Def look smaller than stock. im thinking about doing the same

You said you got a 4.5-inch drop on the rear. If I only wanted about a 3.5-inch drop, I'd use the Ridetech shackles..?

Pingle angle

need some good kyb shocks on it

Hey, do you know what do you torque the rear shackles to?

What shackles should i use to dropping 5.5 rear ??? I have a belltech lower .

Looks good.. but how does it ride.?

No more RCSB XLT :(

Any issues with creaks mine is making noise

How long did it take to install? Thanks

How does it ride ?? Did the ride quality change?

How have you liked the ride quality?
