Back in 2007 I had a 00 Tundra and bought a 2" coil spacer from Trailmaster. It only lasted 8 months on the truck. Every pot hole, speed bump, and/or rough terrain the suspension would squeak and pop. It changed the angle of the CV joints causing the boots to tare and spray grease all over the place. Also it caused my suspension parts to wear out prematurely. I did install a 1" front differential drop from Fat Bob's Garage and it didn't help. Ended up taking the lift off and had to replace the front struts since one of the strut stud broke off and the ripped CV boots. I was 21 at the time so money was kind of tight. Young and dumb. Rule of thumb, if your going to get a lift research it thoroughly and don't be afraid to drop over $800+ for a decent lift.

@chrisced007 5 лет назад

@@DeadOnTrail Absolutely. The Bilstein 5100's is a fairly good lift for the Tundra. I got rid of the truck in 2011. Now have an 11 Frontier at "stock" ride height. haha.

I got a "SUPREME SUSPENSION" leveling kit with dif shims it was about 400. Put it on 08 toyota tundra 4x4 crewmax. 2 1/2 front and 1 in the rear. After 500 to 600 miles no issues retork at this point. Always always have your wheels aligned after installing any suspention parts. Nice vid thanks. Now the Ford looks nice I highly recommend a good reputable kit for any truck.

@davidregan802 10 месяцев назад

Ryan. Thanx very much for the education on leveling an F150. I was guilty of just going to install the pucks but now with your recommendation I will follow what you say! Thanx my friend!

@mikhailkimbel91 4 года назад

I have this exact kit on a 6.2L 2019 F250. Learned a lot along the way. Biggest thing is the ride will change. Caster will change and there's things that are absolutely necessary. 1) you will need 2.5 degree caster shims and 2) radius arm drop brackets no question especially on the gas truck with the snow plow springs up front. The geometry gets thrown off alot because the gas doesn't sag the springs as much especially if u have the snow plow springs. It is an instant change in ride quality. I also recommend a dual steering stabilizer. Dropping tire pressure will definitely combat the harshness in ride (stock wheels and tires)

@scarroll625 4 года назад

Wish I came across this video in April when I put a 2.5" leveling kit on my 2018 F150. Wore through the 2 front tires before adding the camber kit. Luckily I had already saved up for new wheels and tires and got some money out my OEM set-up. I will make sure to tell all my F150 buddies who plan to level to add that camber kit.

@travis8592 4 года назад

Your supposed to get alignment right after you install the leveling kit and the alignment shop will tell you of it could be aligned or you need a camber kit, uca, ect.

Both of my trucks with cab lights are going strong. I put them on my 07 and I used a template to drill. 7 years later I traded the truck and no leaks when I traded it. My 15, the seals look good

That’s why I’m going with the Carli 3”Commuter 2.0 suspension system. It’s not cheap by any means but it’s one of the best, it’s going on my 2018 Ram 2500 4x4 CC SB running 35” tires, mainly used for towing my 35ft travel trailer.

@billsgarage8935 4 года назад

I installed a Ready Lift on my F350. I replaced the drag link, trac bar, sway bar drops, new Fox shocks and it drove like crap until I installed 2.6° positive caster shims. Caster is really important for proper tracking.👍

@billsgarage8935 4 года назад

I also installed the trac bar drop.

@tonyturner779 5 лет назад

Biggest leak or condensation comes from a hair line crack in the actual housing from tightening the screws just a little too tight. If you see condensation that's your problem. Other leaks come from the SAT antenna mount and the gasket. The other is from the 3rd brake light location and gasket. I used all weather sealant on all my stuff and no leaks. Couldn't be happier and did my own can lights as well.

@mikhailkimbel91 4 года назад

I have this exact kit on my gas truck and it does change the ride somewhat. I had to add caster shims and radius arm drop brackets to correct the caster. I think this is especially true if you have the snow plow prep springs as they aren't compressed as much it really throws off the geometry. I swapped out the shocks for Ranchos which didn't do much for the ride. The biggest thing was airing down the tires and adding a dual steering stabilizer. Trust me if you don't try to combat the caster somehow you will not like the ride and get ALOT of bump steer.

I’m going with Bilstein 5100s on my 5th gen Ram with Off Road Package. They don’t require control arms according to Bilstein if you don’t set them any higher than 2” lift setting with the ORP. It will be 3” total over a regular Ram.

I had installed a ready lift 2.5 inch lift kit. Track bar was not installed. My mechanic , very experienced, said the the instructions said it was optional. Called ready lift a d they said the same. Seems fine. Again Mine was a 2.5inch lift not leveling kit. Your thoughts. Nothing seems off but the passenger tire does stuck out a quarter of and inch more than the drivers side. Your thoughts.

@davidnichols1571 5 лет назад

IMO The best level kit on the market is the Cognito kit. I used the stage 6 kit that included upper control arms, Fox 2.0 shocks, level keys, idler arm, pitman arm extensions from NorCal $1585. Yes it is more than most but it’s keeps the factory ride for someone who’s not looking for a 6-10 lift. Nice videos man keep up the great job.

There is nothing wrong with running a standard cheap leveling kit when you aren't going to do it long term. If your goal is long term, go ahead and just get a full lift kit and swap out all suspension components.
