    The rear end took us 15 minutes, the front took us 25.5 hours

    Couldn't have said it better myself. Only one thing if you have the money change out the ball joints, A-arms wheel bearings and shocks. Stock parts will fail sooner or later.
    If you don't have the money you can do it later one at a time, make all the suspension mods you're able to afford at the time you install the lift kit. Saves you a lot of time and effort from taking I apart again, work smarter not harder whenever possible.

    You forgot to say to get it professionally aligned afterward. After messing with steering and suspension, its best to just take it to a laser alignment shop and have them dial it in perfect so that it steers straight enough you can let go of the wheel.

    I am looking to lift a 2024 F150 2Dr 6.5’ bed.
    It seems to me that cutting the frame and bolting in diff drop brackets is not as strong as factory; also, no real performance increase, just taller.
    Can I get a set of 2.5” coil overs to level the front, add new upper control arms and matching rear shocks, run a 33x12.5 on a 10” wide wheel and call it a day?

    How do the leaf springs hold up to those giant lift blocks? I have heard that if it is bigger than 1" you will run into spring wrap.

    • @CustomOffsetsTV
      @CustomOffsetsTV  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      axle wrap can happen on a factory height truck and even lowered trucks, Hence the introduction to... Traction bars! Alleviates all of that!

  • @mr.vandenberg5202

    Aren’t you supposed to tighten up those rear ubolt nuts up somewhat at the same time? Like snug on all before wrenching on it? Or am I just hearing things

    I have a 11 suburban ltz I have plenty of weight on the back I want to lift the back up maybe 3-4 inches what can I put on it to get it lifted I have air shocks I took the factory air ride off but the air shocks tend to leak or if you hit a bump too hard they deflate

    Do you guys torque the lift kit bolts or just snug them good? I just installed a 4 inch rough country lift and I didn’t torque anything. Worried that might come back to bite me later. Should I worry?

    This is useful information, I really hope a company can make a lift kit for an suv, I want to lift my 2nd gen explorer 2wd but I haven’t found 4inch spindle for my “truck” since they don’t make 4wd spindles, so far I’ve found just factory size which I don’t want.
