2015 to 2020 shock and strut removal and installation with a fancy set of Teraflex Falcon Adjustable Leveling Shocks and Struts for my good friend Tim. After he test drove his f150 with the new shocks and stuts he was very happy with the way they perform. His own words "So sporty. Very firm on the road still quiet and smooth going over bumps. Just feel safer all together Big Mahalo'z bro"

Just finished the front on my 2019 2.7 SCREW XLT. I found a wrecked 37k mile F150 on ebay and bought oem strut assemblies for $100 bucks per side and free shipping. Thanks to your video, I started at 8am and finished at 11:30am. 2wd was pretty easy. No fooling around with cv axles. THANKS AND SUBSCRIBED.
Thank you
thank you for this.... I did my second F150 installing Bilstein 5100s.... your way is so much easier by removing the bottom first... When i did it the first time i went top out first... that was a PITA... your way is a timesaver! Thanks!!! 👌
Thanks for the video it was a big help. I just replaced both the front struts on my F150 (both coil springs were broken).
In addition to following the steps in the video, my humble suggestion to anyone planning on tackling these (im not a professional). On the bottom rear facing strut stud, take the nut off while everything is still compressed and cut as much of the stud off as you can. Even a 1/4" makes a huge difference. A dremel tool with a cutting wheel works.
Once you have the ball joint seperated it will expose enough of the front facing stud that it can be easly cut off with an angle grinder. I put a small piece of 1/4" plywood between the strut and the CV joint to act as a shield just in case I slipped while I was cutting.
It will make it MUCH eaiser to pry the bottom of the strut out.
Thanks again for the video.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do all of this for us. Very much appreciate it, Thanks!
Doing my front struts this weekend. After watching this how to vid, I'm actually looking forward to it. Thanks.
Thanks man! Very informative!
Gotta commend you on your how-to video my man. Best one out there by far! You even provide torques for the important joints which is much appreciated. Was very helpful to watch before installing some Bilstein 5100s on my '16 F150. Kudos!
Happy it helped you brotha! Please be sure to subscribe, much appreciated! Take care
Well done! I promised myself never to do suspension work again, but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Once the upper ball joint, tie rod end, and sway bar (key!) are disconnected, the strut almost falls out. Easier on a 2WD, too!
Good job brotha. Thanks for the comment too
For anyone tackling the front shock removal, you don't need a coil spring compressor. In fact, it really won't help anyways (it didn't help me with my '15 F150). You need a flay/wide pry bar that's long enough for leverage but short enough to fit under the fender lip (and not risk a nasty dent). Heave it out, making sure you keep the pry bar head nested beyond center under the bottom of the strut. The two bottom bolts are on a pivot, so they'll rotate and allow the whole strut to pop out. Once the strut bolts are out of their lower ctrl arm holes, grab the strut and just give it a yank. It's only holding like an inch of compression at this point and doesn't have any explosive energy.
No way. I’m about to cut the bolts
@@gixxerhoff7502 Once you just lever one out, you'll understand how silly it was. You're probably like 3/16" away from success.
sure would be nice if the2 bolts on the bottom of the strut would just come out instead of having to get a long pipe to pry it out. Dang engineers! They need to hang around us mechanics more to make it easier to fix this stuff
Glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't put a backing wrench on fords when removing the calipers.
Hope you enjoyed the video! Plz be sure to Subscribe : )
What is up with that weird top welded nut on the rear shock that only is on the driver side and not passenger? I can’t seem to get mine off
thanks for this video brother, today I will replace them on my truck
Very nicely done....this will come in very handy when I do my truck. Thank You
You're welcome
Great video buddy it looked hard at frist but u made it look easy. Im definitely doing it myself now just save me some 💰
great video no wasted effort, clean expert job.
awesome video. Thanks for the post.
Very clear instructions. Just a question. Before the truck is lifted, can you attach two spring compressors to the coil? When you lift the truck the coil/shock does not extend. That would keep the strut assy lightly compressed and allow much less tension at the bottom of the shock. Looks like some of the difficulty in removal is having enough downward free play to get the assy out.
cut the studs on the old units,much easier
excellent educated video,, BUT my f150 is the year---2021,, fx4 off road,, will it be the same to fit with this type of shocks???
This was a great video! Just had to replace a front strut on an 2019 Ford expe.
The video was helpful in installing OEM shocks on a 2-wheel drive F150. I suggest you provide a little more detail in placing the shock into the proper location. Great Video! Watched it about 5 times
What do you mean placing the shock in the right location I'm assuming you mean the rear correct?
That was a great video, thank you
Just did a job myself on my truck lower and upper ball joints just curious, isn’t it better to tighten the control arm bolts after it’s off the jack stand so there is no pre stress on the bushing?
Awesome video. Well done
I thought dont torque down shock bolts until truck is sitting with weight on it? Bushing fatigue?
I think that would be more so for control arms. Not so much twisting going on with the shock bushings
I didn't see the sway bar get hooked up, although great job!
I see you waited till you got the other side done!
Is the ford plastic sleeve at the top not needed or doe snot fit over the new strut?
Can the studs on the bottom of the strut come out if you hammer them from the bottom?
So 75 ft lbs for the lower nuts struts?
Forgive my ignorance as I’m not a mechanic, just trying to be a DIYer. Why remove the caliper?
To not yank on the rubber caliper hose
can anyone tell me around how long something like this would take ?
2.5 to 4 hrs
Thanks for posting. I am thinking of getting these shocks and looking for reviews. What ride level was the spring set at and how did the owner like the shocks?
He liked the front springs at the stock setting and said it felt firmer than the originals but not too firm. He said he loves the them and was a huge ride difference. He leaves the back setting at 1 and when he tows his boat he sets it to 3.
How much do your charge for this job?
I would say 4 to 5 hrs would be fair. Times whatever the labor rate is
Nice work and great video. What spring compressors are you using here?
Not sure of the brand was. It was it the shop already
Where did you buy those shock absorbers
Costumer ordered them online, im not sure what site he used
Is this a 4x4 truck?
Yes
Thank you, becuase I wasn't sure if their was anything special when removing the front axle.
Where are you guys located.
This was in Hawaii
Thank you.
That looks like a giant pain in the ass!!!!
nice video. appreciate your attention to detail.
