When doing this job. Spray all bolts with bb blast. DON'T REMOVE THE NUTS ON TOP OF SHOCKS. just take the 18mm bolts off bottoms. Great video and God bless to all
You doubled the clearance. I thought that would look to high but it looks perfect. It's longer springs AND the 2" lift kit for 4". The back of my truck is 6" higher than the front so this would work on my truck as well 2010 250 Super Crew Diesel

Did you have to do drop brackets for the I beams? I just did a similar leveling kit on my 02 f250 and replaced the cambers as well but it still won’t align without the drop brackets. Only problem is that I can’t find them anywhere online or at lift shops. If you have any ideas it would be much appreciated
I did the same thing and am having the same problem some trucks get lucky and there is enough room for the I beam to clear the ball joint so in my case I’m going to have to grind down the top of the I beam and I’m going to change the 3in spacer to a 2” spacer. And I’m going to take it back up to the alignment shop.
Did you have any problems getting it aligned after all that lift, I want to lift my 2012 f-250 2wd but I’m worried I’ll have to install I beams drop down brackets.
Having trouble putting my 3” spacer on, suspension doesn’t drop enough for me to squeeze them in and the coils springs. Anybody have any ideas ? Already disconnected sway bar and shock
From Ken Coffey, Hello Everyone.....I'm a car and truck guy...know my stuff....the conversion on an I Beam two wheel drive 2000 plus Ford truck lift is problematic. Yes, you can take new or old front springs and add a two inch lift just as described in the video. Yes, you can use permanently adjusted Moog camber or the most extreme adjustable Moog camber bushing and set to extreme...adjustment of four degrees from factory. . With project complete and truck ready to roll, there is a dangerous bottom negative camber that still exists even with the Moog adjustable camber bushing rotated to extreme. The tires will shred and an unsafe camber will exist. Taking your vehicle to an alignment shop will not fix the problem. They can toe-in align, but the camber bushing still exists at an improper fix. The video was done beautifully and am not judging the value of the project, however as a suspension expert, your camber will always be at least two degrees off with the top of the tires protruding out beyond a plum camber as needed for road safety and proper handling. Solution: You need to change to after market A arms that are specifically made to manage a lift and maintain proper camber specifications. Thanks for reading.
Not true I did this about 10 years ago on my 2003 f350 dually 2wd and I am running 285 mud terrains and I get about 45000 to 50000 miles out of my tires and I tow an 180000 lbs trailer about 6 times a year. I also put a locker on the rear and I never get stuck anywhere.
Hey Rich I have never changed them they are factory and I have never had problems with it. I do rotate my tires every 10000 miles and it cost me $125 to do that but I think that is why I get the miles I get out of the tires! Now I do not take my truck and go out and get crazy in it but I do take it off road but I know my limits. There is a guy on you tube that just bought a 2006 f350 2wd dually and he is going to put a 6 in lift on his and his you tube channel is powerstoke pat so check him out!!
Posting my results. 2000 Ford Excursion XLT 2WD 5.4L. Installed HD SSC Supercoils and Supreme Suspension 2" Delrin Coil Spacers. Positive Camber 6.5° drivers side and 6.6° passenger. Not sure if moog adjustable ball joint and the moog K80109 4° adjustable bushing would have have fixed it. I had to remove my coil spacers and had just under 4° so the K80109 got it in spec. But I needed a Dropped Pitman Arm due to steering binding and not returning to center. That was my result. Thank you again for the video.
@@grierjohnson6323 the HD coils for my 5.4l brings it close to 4 inches and with the spacer almost 6 inches which is more than the Twin I Beam are made to go. I removed the spacer and stuck with the coil springs. I added a heavy duty rear springs plus a 1" spacer on the back. It came out nice.
Yo it’s been a while now running the truck, couple questions. How does it feel, how doe it drive? Did you had to take it to aligned how’s the tire wear
I'm not sure when you posted this but I was wondering how it is working out? I have a 2000 ford excursion and bought Super Coils SSC-30 HD coils and I have the Supreme Suspensions Delrin 2" coil spacers and the Moog Bushings. I haven't installed anything yet I just wanted to see if you had any issues or regrets using both. For sure I will install the coils just trying to get an idea about using them both. Thank you in advance. I appreciate and subscribe to your videos.
awesome vid man! I just got my coils and plan on putting them and the 2in spacers in this weekend! saame setup. u didnt have to grind down that little bracket piece on top of the coil?
Hey So I ended up doing the coil spring and spacer, and I have the Moog Adjusters in there, but I’ve been to three different shops and they said they can’t do it, any suggestions? My alignment is way off. New Upper and lower ball joints on each side as well
Michael 6.0 from my experience it’s hard to find someone that can do proper alignments on modified suspension, makes me wish I had my own alignment rack so I don’t have the hassle of finding a good shop
Are the Bilstein 4600s long enough with the HD Coils and the 2" Leveling Kit or would the 5100s be better with the lift? Does the front suspension feel limited with the 4600s?
From the research I’ve done they say it’s ok for only a 2” lift. Suspension feels fine just a bit more stiffer with the shocks and springs but that’s to move expected
@@SwishLifeGarage Thanks for the reply! Your video is the best one I've came across by far. I'm ordering the 4600s, HD Coils, 2" Leveling Kit. I didn't know I would need the Moog Camber Kit so also ordering that and appreciate you showing the part # for that. Hope my 250 looks as good as yours up front when I'm done. Cheers!
I did everything you did to my 99 7.3 f350 and now the alignment shop says they can’t adjust the camber and it’s bad they said there is no room for camber adjustment between spindle and I beam? What do I do know?? I literally did everything in the video

Where did you get the coil springs?
I wonder if you could give me a link and model number for all the parts. A specially springs, shocks and polyurethane spacers.
I’ve watched several of these videos why does no one use any penetrating lube but complain how tight and rusty they are
Yo it’s been a while now running the truck, couple questions. How does it feel, how doe it drive? Did you had to take it to aligned how’s the tire wear
That was awesome you showed me how to do it and the camber adjust thing. Did you do ball joints before or during the camber adjust install lmk thanks
It was done before
Do you have the link where you got the 2 inch leveling kit?

Always listen to your dad👍
What’s the leveling kits part number?
I dare you to put 315/75/16’s lol.
Can i put a block lift on the front of my f350
I have the same truck and I want to do this same thing to the front end. What size tires are on there? They look great
Good video. Thanks. Yeah my cool bushing fell apart in 15 pieces. Thanks for the details like 1" and 8th wrench. For that big nut
I put a 2.5 inch leveling kit on mine minus springs and new shocks. Would you say this exact thing leveled out the front with the back?
The coil spring spacer goes first at the bottom Then the insulator then the spring correct?
spring nut adapter first, next poly spacer, and then the spring and tighten it down with the washer and nut
awesome vid man! I just got my coils and plan on putting them and the 2in spacers in this weekend! saame setup. u didnt have to grind down that little bracket piece on top of the coil?

I’m having the same problem. Positive camber, no shops around here seem to have a solution.
Thanks for the video brother . I have some question to ask , Where can I order the shocks for 2 Inch spacers and what's the lengths of the shocks?
They come in ranges. Some are designed for 0"-2" lift
Amazon
Hi do you know the part number for the shocks
why would you lift a 2wd truck?
Are the Bilstein 4600s long enough with the HD Coils and the 2" Leveling Kit or would the 5100s be better with the lift? Does the front suspension feel limited with the 4600s?

Just did mine bro, Thanks for da vid. Helped out a bunch! First time
Can you give me the site on spacers
Thanks man for the video I just bought all the parts for mine
Nice truck.
Parts list please
I did everything you did to my 99 7.3 f350 and now the alignment shop says they can’t adjust the camber and it’s bad they said there is no room for camber adjustment between spindle and I beam? What do I do know?? I literally did everything in the video
Camber bushings
I did that when I changed everything
Great video. Been a great help thanks
Pretty good man. Excellent job.
What's the shock number for those bilstein
Thanks I tried liking the video twice
And the the new springs ??
i thought the block went on top of the spring?
You thought wrong sir. They go on the bottom.
They do on a 4wd
I put mine on top its a 2wd but also a dodge only saw 1 video with spacer on bottom but my jeep is 4wd and also has spacer on top of spring
Hey nice truck, I am wondering how hard you think it would be to get a 3 inch puck in there? I need some help I keep hearing it's not worth it

I was about to ask same thing, I’ve heard it’ll give a camber issue but wasn’t sure.
@@duztentoliver3823 ended up taking the 2 inch lift blocks out and putting the zero camber back in
I tried the 2 inch blocks as well. But ended up having to take those out as well. still haven’t figured out the issue and how to remedy it
Same problem here. Positive camber
What is that camber set on?
hows the driving though?
Do you have a lost of parts?
Holaaa cómo estás ? Tengo una pregunta, que bujías debe usar esa camioneta?, Saludos
Es diesel, no usa bujias.
Stupid question never seen camber kit do u turn it to adjust it u kinda lost me what camber kit do
Yes, loosen the nut and bolt holding it, and turn it to get the camber back to 0 degrees.
This video helped so much
Thanks i´m from Brasil
hi from texas
Did you lift the rear? Need to do the same to my truck.
Alan Lee no the rear is stock except for a bit wider tires on the rear at the time of this recording
Good video...about how much did all this suspension cost roughly?

How much does this cost
What series was the Bilstein shocks? 4600? Etc..

Hey brother how bad did this drop your mpg?
LOL. This should have nothing to do with fuel economy
Liked your video
How much would you spent on all this bro?
$500
Yo yo bro....wuz ut??.
Hey man howd this workout on your truck? Any relaying issues?
avery davis nah not any problems with the suspension at all rides great, obviously just stiffer as you would expect
Next project for my 7.3 thanks man!
Omg!!! Why go thru the Xtra work removing the wheel well when you can just diconnect lower shock mount bolt???? you don't see that!!???!!!!
So he could have more room for the bolts up top
Good work!
