I've been trying to decide if I should keep those original running boards on my 14 + I finally made my mind up. I'm keepin'em with some chrome wheels. Damn it looks good! !
I have the same truck I'm thinking of a 4 inch lift but I will not be going chrome that feels like 2000s all black wheels is the way to go. I have a 2011 Ford f150 6.2L Platinum. Love it I put 7K down payment and took it home on December 1st of 2020.
Nice build brother…I just installed a rough country 6” lift kit, I used the loaded struts and added a 1.5” leveling kit on top of it I also replaced the upper control arm with a KSP…I have an issue with my angles the UPC is touching the spring…what could be causing this problem? Thank you.
I want to do this to my 04 super cab right now, if I could get some 1 on 1 chat help. I got the cash for whatever. This is exactly what I want for my pickup! Hope to hear back.
@UTA.cameron personally I like custom offsets with or without Fuller. They're doing a great job either way. Anything wheels, tires and suspension go to customoffsets.com
This is extremely late but in case anyone else stumbles across this I wish to help: So pretty much every non-coil over or replacement strut lift, wether it be 2in, 4in, or 6in comes with a 2,4,or 6 in block that is placed above your factory strut to raise the front to whatever lift you are using. But if you get a coil over kit or replace your strut to a 6in lift strut and or a 6in lift coil over that would replace the rough ride of the block because those are now the height of your factory strut+ the lift block. So what guys do is they choose either a lift strut or coil over, if you have the money coil overs are the best way, and they put those in. Then usually add a leveling kit block and or a two inch lift block (same thing) and put that on top of the coil over or lift strut. Giving you a stretched kit. When doing this though, there are some pretty important things you want to be careful of, if you are 4x4, the biggest difficulty you will run into is the CV angles, I’ve read all over the web and some say the angle works for them and some say they don’t, so my suggestion would be to research that yourself. Another must when stretching the lift kit as such is UCA’s. You will 100% have to replace them with a aftermarket Uniball UCA to avoid binding and or breaking of the ball joint. The factory ones just can’t do it. Also another add is you will need a higher rear block and or add a leaf to raise the rear. If you drive the truck to hear and there and want that extra height I would say it’s worth it. If you don’t and you drive the truck hundreds of miles daily and do over all types of terrain I would not suggest doing this as everything suspension wise will wear out quite quickly. I also would only recommend stretching it to 8 and nothing higher. Which would be a 2in block in the front on top of your choice lift strut or coil over. Anything above that and the angles get really sketchy. Plus if you want that high start with a 8in kit and stack that the proper way to 10 etc. don’t take away usability for no reason. Hope this helps and if anyone has any comments or concerns feel free to ask or if y’all have anything to add that I missed feel free to add.
I did the same thing on my truck but my cv joint started to sound bad like its rubbing what can i do to fix it or do the sell one thats better when you lift it
Hey custom offsets I had a really quick question I have a 4x4 2012 f-150 ecobost I’m planning on doing a McGaughys 6.5" lift with a 2.5” in leveling kit do you think it’s possible to do it? I don’t use it for rough use just a weekend truck
If you plan on using a 6.5in lift strut and or a 6.5in coil over, then put the leveling kit on top, replacing the ucas to aftermarket uniball, and taking the precautions with your cv angles then yes, if you are planing to stack the leveling kit on top of the lift kit block, no, don’t do that, it will ride horrible, angles will be bad, breaks and tears will happen with ball joints and suspension can come loose.
I just got the service tire monitor system on my 12 Silverado and to my understanding it means there’s too much air or too little air on some of the tires? If so I’ll have to release some of the air or add?? Or is some of the sensors bad? Someone help pls
Does anyone know where you buy upper control arms and shocks to push a 6.5 Mcgauphy's lift to 9 inches because i have the same truck just a 2010 and it is red but i don't know how to get it to 9???
You can buy a 6 in coilover an stack a level kit on top or like this build go with leveling shocks an chang out the uca ... im going with icon control arms because their adjustable to fix my camber
