The test drive looked super-smooth. Didn't whack your head on stuff but a few times and you were good and conscious by the end of it. I'd say it's a win.
If you are wanting the 4600 series (Yellow and Blue), These are you're front shocks www.summitracing.com/parts/bsn-24-013284 And these are your rear shocks www.summitracing.com/parts/bsn-24-016186 I hope that was helpful.
A jack under the rear bumper or trailer hitch to lift the body up until the strapped shock fits on loose. Since the truck is still mostly on the tires it'll be safe.
Well I just got my truck back . I dropped it off at 9 am and I got it back at 1 pm today he charged me $250.00 and I think I made a rare good move to have him do it.😅😅😅
I wonder if either your tools have tighter specs than normal, or Bilstein thinned the paint on those parts in recent years, I had zero trouble getting tools and the locknut over it. Great video, was just what I was looking for.
@@djbrotherelectric It was a bet from a coworker. 😂 the challenge was to hold it on my arm for 15 seconds. I doubled it. I may be dumb, but I ain't a wuss. Lol
I'm still here. Unfortunately I haven't been able to make videos for a while. I've had a lot going on in my personal life, including a cross country move. I hope to get back into the game though.
I noticed the scenic background as you drove through the Ford proving grounds after the shock install. Where do you live? I still think bolting the top first is easier. If necessary you can use a jack to push the bottom up and use a punch to line up the hole. (dunit a few times)
Try installing a 5100 front for a leveled 99 f150 4x4 ... Bilstein's data is pos. You'd have to drop the front control arms to fit the thing into place. Torsion bar type.
Was that a 4x4 truck? I have a 86 F150 2wd ... I ordered off your link in the description and I think they are too long.. I know I have to compress to install but I think the 24-016186 is actually for 4 wheel drive??? What you got on your end?
Yes this truck is 4X4. I don't know if, or what the difference is between the 4X4 and 2X4 coil spring size. That being said I feel like they should be interchangeable. Sorry I'm not more help.
@@jasoncharles6980 The fronts will only go on one way. As for the backs, I believe they can be installed either way. It doesn't affect the shock dampening. I just preferred the look of the boot on top.
I made the mistake of installing Taiwan made shocks and spring front and back on my 06 f150!! The dissatisfaction and sheer daily regret is astonishing!! Don’t go cheap on suspension components!! Just…..don’t!!
