    Didn't think I'd love another truck like my 2002 Dakota R/T until I bought a 2020 f150. These trucks are nice, this is on my list for sure

    Honestly a hard follow. Nix the tire and journal polish. What dropped the truck? shims under leafs? A kit? come on man.

    Why not just remove the blocks between the rear axle & the springs?

    Just remove the factory lift blocks and achieve the same drop with zero cost.

      I used the Ford performance 2" drop shackle it dropped it about 2 inches. After the installation the front was 1 inch lower then the rear.....I DID NOT have to use the SHIMS....I called Ford Performance prior to the installation and they stated I wouldn't need the shims....No change in ride, trans shifting and no vibration...I have a 2020 F150 2WD with a V8

      Didn’t need shims with mine either. I’m sure using them doesn’t hurt anything but it’s one of those things where they just wanted the money.

    • @hochhaul
      @hochhaul ปีที่แล้ว

      @@jerryjeromehawkins1712 If you use stock shocks and remove the blocks, you change the normal range of movement of the shock and risk damaging the shocks at the extremes of travel. In this case, if you hit a hard bump, your shocks will slam into their internal travel stop before the bump stop can absorb any of the impact. You'll beat the sh t out of the shocks and they will fail prematurely. Guys that lift the rear of the truck do the same thing but they risk damage at full suspension droop and can rip the factory shocks apart if they aren't careful.

      Watched this video twice and can’t find it beneficial for anyone. There’s no actual step by step but there’s a lot of camera movement and video shows what was done after it was installed. We need to see the actual installation and not the after install let alone the shitty music and you not staying on topic.
