I like this guy. Deliberate and precise. Best of all no annoying music or silly drama
Thank you!
Great video man, I love that it's straight to it without the flashy editing and rambling. Really appreciate it man, you saved me a few hundred bucks
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Needed a how to, ended up with a master class. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!!
this has been very helpful thank you
Thank you!
This was very helpful. Thanks. Putting them on today.
Thank you!!
Very informative!! I feel confident about doing this now. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Well done !!!
Thank you!
@@MegaMilesBen friday morning will do the same work on the same truck. Eventually ...
You got it!
Right on time MegaMilesBen! Just finished the passenger side before watching your vid. Gonna try your sequencing on the driver side and hope to save some time. All the torque specs saved me some time as well. Appreciated the speed of your video as well and lack of voice commentary.
Thank you!!
Outstanding video. I'm was trying to decide whether or not to pay a shop to do this, or to do it myself. I think I'll do it myself. Thanks!
Thank you! Good luck, let me know how it goes.
Great video straight to the point, thank you for providing the torque values. Is necessary/recommended to add blue (removable) locktread?
Theres not mention of lock tight in Rough Countrys directions. I do a lot of suspension and hardly ever use lock tight. Ill use it on hub assembly mount bolts and propeller shaft mount bolts but thats really about it.
Gosh man, I can’t break loose that lower control arm ball joint!!! Any recommendations? :)
The lower ball joint? You mean the upper ball joint right? You shouldnt be doing anything to the lower.
You can get a ball joint seperator tool kit from any parts store. They all have loaner programs.
I have the same truck and bought the same leveling kit (not yet installed) did you go with bigger tires? If so do they rub?
This was a clients vehicle so Im actually not sure.
Is this your best recommendation for the best leveling kit for a 2022 Ford Ranger? Is there one better, and does this one cause any problems at all, like bend the tires in at all or anything like that? Is this one as good as an RPG leveling kit?
My clients provide their own parts. You would want to do your own research and see what is best for your wants/needs.
He is very happy with it and has caused him no issues.
@@MegaMilesBen ok thanks for the reply 👍🏻
After putting the spacers on the strut, I noticed that you reinserted the shock/strut assembly the other way around. The sticker was on one side coming out and was on the other side going in. Was that intentional or is that how it has to go in with the bolt pattern of the spacers??? Thanks Megamilesben!!!
Takes the pattern of the spacer. Some lifts have you turn the insert 180° so make sure you read your directions.
@Megamilesben I've got these coming in, in a couple of days. I was dreading having to turn the insert 180° as I've been watching your video non stop so I could just replicate your technique. Break it to me gently... are these one of those types I've got to rotate?
@moben8160 as I stated, this one takes the bolt pattern. Make sure you check your instructions.
how do the shaft angles look after install of 2 1/2 inch lift.
You shouldnt have any issues with the cv shafts at 2 and 1/2 inches.
@@MegaMilesBen thanx
Stupid question. But how did you remove the bottom strut studs/bolts
Have you ever removed a wheel stud? Same way... with a hammer. Just pound them out, shouldnt take too much.
I've heard some recommend the cv nut to be replaced and I've heard some say no, any advice on that?
Ive reused many cv axle nuts and have never had a problem. Im kinda back and forth on that as well.
@@MegaMilesBen ok maybe to be safe ill dab alittle blue locktite on mine. Thanms
*thanks
If the vehicle is equipped with sensors, does this effect them at all ?
Not that Im aware of. It doesnt change the wheel speed or anything like that so it shouldnt.
Good evening, looks like you’re in Colorado just like me. I bought my wife a brand new 2022 Ford ranger about six months ago just took it in and had them put on a 2 inch leveling kit in the front. The steering wheel was off center when I first got in after they said, the truck was finished and then I noticed on the way home there’s a lot of play in the steering wheel and my wife said it gets pretty Squirrley if she has to get on the brakes hard. Is this all normal or what should we do?
Sounds like it hasnt been aligned. Any time you have any suspension work done, I would suggest an alignement after.
@@MegaMilesBen they said they did do an alignment on it. They showed me that paper with the before and after. I’m going to take it back after about a week and see if they can at least get the steering wheel back to Straight /level /center. Not sure what term to use. If straightahead is 12 noon, the steering wheels at about 130 , 1/8 of a turn to the right when you’re driving straight.
@matllebpmac3405 Id be real iffy about the alignment if your steering wheel is off.
The only time your steering wheel would be off is if the alignment is bad or the steering column was disconnected and reconnected in the wrong position. They shouldve had no reason to disconnect your steering column.
What youve told me sounds exctally like it hasnt been aligned.
What is the average cost of installation for a job like this?
I cant provide that information, Im sorry. My shop is discounted and I do not talk money on youtube. Labor varies per state as well.
You can expect a 2-3 hour labor charge.
@@MegaMilesBen ok that’s what I expected as far as hours go. Thanks for the reply. 👍
Makes it look too easy.
Thanks for watching!
Just drop the A arm..
I try to do lifts with the directions they come with so people can see what theyre up against.
The car too much high
Everyone has different tastes and uses for their cars and trucks. Some 4wheel and some do it just for looks. I enjoy lifting trucks. Some people enjoy lowering or squatting trucks.
Thanks for watching!
