I was skeptical because of the cost difference but that's a super complete kit. The shims and removal tool are where the extra money is going and these look better quality than the energy suspension setup. I just got my 97 f250hd and already ordered 17 different things for me to work on making it really nice again. Long road ahead but I'm looking forward to it.
All I see is a man and his son working on a beautiful truck. Gotta love America. Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there that do it right.
This fantastic video inspired me to order these for my ‘95 CC. Just finished the install today 8/13/21 and the truck rides awesome and the body lines are back. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, they are appreciated.
Čññpp
I just didn't mine a year ago. Gotdem bodylines back.
Been looking forward to this episode!
what side steps are those?
Great video, thank you, i made my own remover tool with angle iron, and it worked perfectly!
Great video...glad I watched because my OBS desperately needs bushings. Thanks for doing the video.
oh wow looks good that made a big difference
Sweet truck dude
2012 F350 Crew Cab - My experience on the install - 1) Heat up each bolt prior to removal with a torch for 1 minute. 2) Be prepared to workout your arms - take your time and just keep pulling the socket/break-over around. 3) I used a bottle jack with a 4x4 piece of wood situated under the cab edge to lift the cab. 4) Some of the lower pieces may seem a little stubborn coming out. Hit it a few times with a mini sledgehammer and prying and wiggling it. Soon, it will just fall loose. 5) When you go to install the new bolts, if you meet heavy resistance early on, there's probably some residual Loctite left from the previous bolts still in the threads of the cage nuts. Back the new bolt back out and you probably see a small amount of the Loctite dust fall out. Tap the bottom side of the new mount and little more may dislodge. The bolt going back in should not be as hard to get installed. It doesn't just spin in - but you'll know when it's time to torque it. 6) Do not use an impact to install either (just like on the removal). 7) Recheck your torques after you've driven it around a bit (on the same day so as to not disturb the Loctite setting up). 8) I did not find the front ones any more difficult than the others. Just heat the bolts as I stated in #1. I managed the job in 4 hours, taking my time.
Why no impact to remove the bolts? I’m buying a 95 next weekend that will need body mounts so I’m going to be ordering s&b when I get the truck home.
Per the manufacturer’s instructions - as well as what almost every site tells you; it will strip loose the body nuts - and then you’ll have a real mess to deal with.
@@jamessterling1866 I’m glad I saw your comment. Saved me a lot of frustration I bet. Thanks!
looks really good!
Thank you!
I did custom 2x4 bushings since my front mounts were so rotted out
Penciltucky bushings
@@galehess6676 exactly I've actually replaced my cab now lol
@@My8565 i am lucky.. my floor pans rotted out about 1 foot square and the body mounts for that row 2 are half gone, but the cab is pretty solid.. although the rad support got to only 1" wide of semi-solid metal on the passenger side under the rad, then i got one from literally across the country and powder coated it
1 year review, how’s it holding up
Rock solid! Ride is as good as the day I installed them.
@@The73Garage excellent! Doing mine tomorrow
I was just talking about these going to these also
Hey man you’re located in Florida?
I am!
Glad I watched this video because I been noticing on my obs every time I turn right it sounds like the turbo contacts the body didn’t know what it was but now I do now just need to verify if that’s the issue awesome video very informative 👍
Awesome! It fixed my issue, cab is quiet again!
What sort of noise would you get when it seemed like the turbo was making contact?
@@samw6949 It was a metal on metal growl almost. It's hard to explain.
@@The73Garage I bet that is what I have going on with my obs, thanks for the information! Been chasing this type of noise for almost a year.
@@samw6949 body mount brackets can rust away, if yours are there, that isn't your creak but mine were gone/creaked
Awesome vid! Keep us posted on when the new batch of decals come out
Do you know how these differ from Energy Suspension's product? I've been eyeing those a while.
Thanks! Will do!
I think the material they use in the S&B mounts may be a bit softer, plus you get the removal tools and detailed instructions!
@@The73Garage S&B Mounts use silicone rubber, and the durometer provides much more vibration isolation than the harder polyurethane that Energy Suspension uses. As the engineer who designed this kit, I'm really glad you liked the installation tools and leveling shims.
@@superpilun I do! Very nice product you guys designed. Really appreciate the attention to craftsmanship!
You mean 30 years
I've had a creak/pop in the driver side rear on my CC forever. I always thought it was the running boards but after seeing this I'm starting to think it's bushings. My body alignment sucks too, cab almost 1/2" lower than bed at the shot lines. Mine is a roach compared to yours 😆
I'll be looking into this. As always your truck looks great 😍 that shine!
1 unrelated question if you don't mind... I noticed what looks like fuel lines running under your front tank. did you install sumps in your factory steel tanks? And if so how on earth did you do the rear one? I don't see a flat surface anywhere on mine.
It could also be that you need to readjust your crossmember/transmission/frame. There is a write-up online that explains it. It fixed my creak on 2 different trucks that had the issue.
@@garrettgriggs9712 first I've heard of this one, I'll research it. Thanks for the tip 👍🍻
Here is a link to the website. I hope you can find it....
Ford Trucks: Snap, Crackle And Pop (Its on the website BATAUTO.COM)
@@garrettgriggs9712 really appreciate it. I just finished doing exactly what it says. No more noise! 😁 If you're ever down by Sarasota area, I'm treating you to a cold one. 🍻
I’m so happy it worked! It worked on 2 of the long bed 250s I’ve owned. It’s awesome that the guy did that write-up on it. It’s kind of a genius solution that he came up with.
You supported your tank with a jack. I used a ratchet strap.
Question, would it make a difference if all the screws on the old body mounts were taken off first instead of doing each mount one by one, just thinking that Every-time you lift the cab when it’s being held down at each other body mount would be more difficult
Might be easier if you have a lift to lift the whole cab and swap them all at once.
@@The73Garage no lift but maybe just get 4 jacks and lift them all just a little after loosening all the mounts
@@BULL-and-WRENCH I plan to loosen the drivers side and remove the passenger side, replace passenger side and install loosely. Then replace the drivers side and make sure all the lines match up or shim as necessary and then torque everything once I’m satisfied.
@AG that'd be a good idea. This idiot cranked up on his rusty core support up front with his middle and rear bolts still tight...
In the video SB pits out they remove loosen the bolts on one side and remove them from the other side. Jack the cab up and install one side at a time and then tighten all the bolts.
Nice
What is those blue adapters you use for the battery hold downs at 7:43?
They come with every new Optima battery!
What are the specs of the wheels and tires on the truck in this video. I love the stance.
Those were a 18x10 Moto metal 962 with a 265/65/18 toyo tire!
Where did you get that third brake light? It looks good
LMC truck!
whats up with those fog lights?? any info on those I like it
They’re made by rigid industries!
The front bolts on my 1992 f150, go up from the bottom, you put yours in bolt facing down?
Is that a 4 or 5 inch exhaust?
I didn't show how you removed the top front bushing (front of the cab)... u edited that part..can you explain how you go about removing too pieces...like how high or did you raise the cab high enough to remove top pieces
Yes this guy is a con Job working for the company and is paid by them to skip the hard parts.
That price tag is a killer, but they look to be high quality
The quality is amazing plus you get the removal tools which will cut hours off the job.
Price is way too high. The kit looks awesome, but not $450 awesome. The removal kit can be made yourself for less than $10.
Some just like to improve their A to B of their ride especially if your doing long hauls!!
Save some $ and go with beech lane. Just as good if not better than s&b
Does it ride smoother now , or just more quite
Rides super smooth!
Man, sick truck. What is the color code for that blue? I am thinking of painting mine like that.
What is that removal tool?
The removal tool comes with the kit!
What are those big tube things on the underneath of your bed attached to the frame?
Traction bars, they keep the rear axle from moving back and forth under power.
@@The73Garage oh nice what brand did you go with? All i see are the ones by Duff but they mount on top and yours mount on the bottom of the axle.
@@Divorceization I got mine from Greer Fabrication. They’re a weld on set!
I noticed the carpet looking a little dirty man, rent the upholstery cleaner machine from Home Depot and mix up your own cleaner to save money and it’ll have your carpet looking brand new. I have a recipe for the cleaner I mixed up when I did it on my truck wish I could attach a picture of it, my truck had 300,000+ miles on it and the carpet looked brand new after doing it. Costs like $25 to rent the upholstery cleaner machine from them for a day.
Thanks Gabe, I'll take a look at the stuff you recommended!
@@The73Garage Sweet. These body mounts are truly an awesome kit. I’ll have to pick some up whenever I need them for my truck
How long did it take you to do the whole job?
I think it took us 4 hours or so!
Great video, will be purchasing this product for my ‘95 crew cab. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! Enjoy it👍🏻
I got 2 cracks in my water jackets. Know any places to get a good reman engine? TIA
swamps
Ouch!!!!!!!
Just looked at the price.
But its like they say; "buy once cry once".
Adding them to the list
You can get a whole kit from energy suspension (very good quality) for 160 with bushings and hardware or like 80 with just bushings . Only thing you need to do is buy a removal tool or make one with pipe and threaded rod
@@lParohlx The Energy Suspension kit uses polyurethane which is much harder and will transmit much more vibration into the cab. It also doesn't come with any shims to level the cab, which most OBS trucks will need.
Father and son?,looked like twins to me as a old man just saying LOL
We get the twin thing every now and again!👍🏻
