Alright guys I have seen the comments lmao I didn't receive instructions and it seemed odd to thread the bolts through from the bottom rather than the top however I can see that being the correct way. Does it actually matter? Will my strut rip out from under the truck in dramatic fashion sending me to the oblivion? idk but I am pinning this so anyone watching this install can be aware and Install accordingly.
No just make sure it’s all tight. I put the Allen bolts down on my buddies truck I didn’t know either. No issues for the last 2 years on a ram 1500. Wouldn’t hurt putting lock washers under the Allen head or maybe loctite.
I mean if you go to the motofab site and type in your trucks year and model there’s a video that go through the install process. I’m no engineer but the studs on the OEM strut go up through the bucket, I’d want the spacer studs to do the same as well. No need to get sassy
This style of truck used to be gmc/chevy bread n butter back in the day. We need more 2 door trucks in this world. Ford has converted many obs Chevy fans by filling this role. The coyote is badass and the most versatile v8 since the small block 350
Dude, you installed those way wrong. Youre supposed to thread those Allen bolts through the bottom of the spacer so the threads are facing upwards. Then use the factory nuts to hold the spacer to the strut, then the nuts that came with the leveling kit is what you use to hold them to the truck… might wanna fix that before something goes wrong…
@@JK-op7bp Yeah, if you’re going to modify something especially suspension. Do it properly or don’t touch it. His first red flag should’ve been having to find washers he had laying around. If motofab wanted it installed that way I’m sure they would’ve supplied flange head bolts. Not hex cap screws and washers
@@jalinkeaton6024 on the motofab kit I used on my 07 f150, the tread pitch on the new nuts didn’t match the pitch on the studs on the strut. So I had to use the factory nuts to hold the spacer to the strut. Either way. That part doesn’t really make a difference.
I’d recommend camber bolts before you align it. Good setup. Just got done leveling my 23 F150 but decided to drop lower control arm instead of pulling out cv axle.
Just buy undercoating to make the back look better that way you ate protected don't worry about a fender liner A1 user coating cost about 3.00 a can does a great job lasts forever and protects everything you spray it on
Nice choice in size have the same size on my 12th gen coyote was gonna do a 3” but found out the previous owner put a 2” on it so I put bigger tires on and you can notice it now
Looks way better, man. I have the factory rear blocks with my coil overs about maxed out to level it, and my angles look like this -> / \. After watching this, I will remove the blocks and adjust the coilovers.
I'm just curious, could you not just yank the whole strut assembly out, throw on the spacer, and put it back in ? Without taking all that crap apart ? Just use strut compressors?
Just an fyi your Tahoe has a collapsed lifter problem have the same issue with transmission and traction stability till I replaced it after fix no more problems I didn’t have a tick only miss fire
i know it doesn’t haven to do with the video but i could really use help on this decision. My question is should i get a tacoma that’s 2019 with 80k miles it’s a v6 3.5L double cab for 26k or should i get a gmc sierra v8 6.2L with 63k miles for 30k. If i wanted to upgrade in 5-10 years what will be worth more and what one would be more reliable well i have it
Damn that was a sweet truck. I had 4 f150s and loved them but had alot of problems with the last one and decided to try out the chevy. Hopefully I'm not disappointed. Love your videos brother keep em coming and good luck with the ford
Man this is the second time I’ve seen a RU-vidr install a leveling kit this way. Take those studs out and put them in the correct way. Not being a hater or talking shit but this way is definitely wrong and just sketchy.
@nickf0811 he installed the leveling kit wrong, even correctly installed it ruins the ride quality and integrity of the suspension. I bet your truck looks like it has worms huh? Lmao
I’ve had two different front leveling kits on my 2008 F150 since it was new. Both made the front suspension really stiff, and the ride harsh on bad roads. I removed the first kit for a while after the first 10 years I owned the truck, and the difference in the way it rode & handled was unbelievable. I now wish I hadn’t put the second kit on it. Wish I’d just took out the rear axle blocks to level it & stuck with factory sized tires.
