Definitely got lucky with the jack stands. Same thing happened to me, but the jack stands actually tipped over forward and fell. Luckily only had 1 tire off at a time, and had it under the frame as extra precaution. Glad i was taught to always do that, and now always keep the jack under the frame as well. Go get you some bigger ones. Definitely need them for trucks. $100ish is better than what almost happened
I love the look. I think leveling the rear or just a tad squat like normal would be perfect. Sucks it isn’t full height but it looks sharp. Hopefully you can get it roadworthy. Love the look. I am definitely bias to bubba setup as of lately
LARRY!!!!! He most definitely needs that rear brought up! Hopefully someone comes through for you and helps Larry get his long and much needed lift kit completed!! Great video, keep up the incredible work!
You spent all that time hunting down this elusive lift then proceed to cut it up. That pained me a little bit. Could have gotten the same height out of a brand new off the shelf lift. Now you’ll have to buy new coils or cheap out and stack leveling kits. As mentioned a handful of times, take those spindles to a machine shop or weld repair shop and they’ll fix them up easy. Do it right or do it twice. And we will all be watching when you do it a second time
Hey chase! I was thinking you could possibly see about going to a weld shop or a fabricator for the spindle height issue they could have probably helped you with the height difference by making you custom components to either extend or replace your part. I dont know if they could've salvaged the bad one but still! Great video larry looks great
add a 1.5 level!! it’ll make it have a baby lean with 6” blocks in the back. With stock upper control arms they held up pretty good and ride quality was still impressive even with 26s and 37s.
When did you buy it? Because it's just a fabtech kit with bilstein shocks. It isn't made anymore even though sites still say it's available. I bought it directly from bilstein two years ago and never got it.
I want to see bigger jack stands in the next video buddy . I seen your using a bigger jack now lol. Be safe in the garage buddy love your video keep up with the good work
I got the RC rear blocks, theyre 2 inch, and taller leaf springs from general spring (1900lb 4 leaf) with a total 4 inches rear, and 5 inches front lift.
Larry looks sick, not big on that much squat, but like you I do like a little lean. With that wollered spindal though, maybe check a couple machinists shops and see if maybe they could press a sleeve in to correct the wollerness. Idk, may seem a bit excessive but it might work?
Avoid the jack stand issue at the end of video with putting stands facing opposite directions, that way the truck can’t shift either direction if they happen to fail.
Uhhh I love your videos and all but the squat is a no go doesn’t look that good would look sick with a leveling kit uhh it would look sooo good with a leveling kit on it
The idea of the lift kit is cool, but the exicution is not so cool. Suspension kits are engineered to preform as a unit, not to be mixed and matched. The taller lift springs with the short spindles create many issues with the suspension geometry. The upper control arms don't have required travel and bottom out, the upper ball joint now has a bad angle and makes it suseptable to failure, let alone the realignment issues to bring the truck back to original specs. I have put many 6" susp kits in 4wd over the years and have learned all the issues with lifting a ifs truck. If fixing the spindles from the kit was not an option a different kit would have been a better option. Don't agree but good luck anyway.
Not sure if they make them for this Year make but what about a UCA with a bolt in ball joint and then add a ball joint spacer. Not sure if that is a just an old Toyota thing for not.
You need help from the pre runner guys . Like maby try to get a hold of Morgan Clark designs . Or some companies make weld it your self long travel kits . I just thought of this so I'll start looking and if I find any thing I'll let you know. I don't have any connections because I live in MN. Th9se guys can build anything .
Hey I have a 1998 f-150 you can but arched control arms for a 2004 bc they are the same upper control that what I did I when on ford oem and it the same part number too
