Alright guys I have seen the comments lmao I didn't receive instructions and it seemed odd to thread the bolts through from the bottom rather than the top however I can see that being the correct way. Does it actually matter? Will my strut rip out from under the truck in dramatic fashion sending me to the oblivion? idk but I am pinning this so anyone watching this install can be aware and Install accordingly.
No just make sure it’s all tight. I put the Allen bolts down on my buddies truck I didn’t know either. No issues for the last 2 years on a ram 1500. Wouldn’t hurt putting lock washers under the Allen head or maybe loctite.
I mean if you go to the motofab site and type in your trucks year and model there’s a video that go through the install process. I’m no engineer but the studs on the OEM strut go up through the bucket, I’d want the spacer studs to do the same as well. No need to get sassy
This style of truck used to be gmc/chevy bread n butter back in the day. We need more 2 door trucks in this world. Ford has converted many obs Chevy fans by filling this role. The coyote is badass and the most versatile v8 since the small block 350
Dude, you installed those way wrong. Youre supposed to thread those Allen bolts through the bottom of the spacer so the threads are facing upwards. Then use the factory nuts to hold the spacer to the strut, then the nuts that came with the leveling kit is what you use to hold them to the truck… might wanna fix that before something goes wrong…
@@JK-op7bp Yeah, if you’re going to modify something especially suspension. Do it properly or don’t touch it. His first red flag should’ve been having to find washers he had laying around. If motofab wanted it installed that way I’m sure they would’ve supplied flange head bolts. Not hex cap screws and washers
@@jalinkeaton6024 on the motofab kit I used on my 07 f150, the tread pitch on the new nuts didn’t match the pitch on the studs on the strut. So I had to use the factory nuts to hold the spacer to the strut. Either way. That part doesn’t really make a difference.
I’d recommend camber bolts before you align it. Good setup. Just got done leveling my 23 F150 but decided to drop lower control arm instead of pulling out cv axle.
Looks way better, man. I have the factory rear blocks with my coil overs about maxed out to level it, and my angles look like this -> / \. After watching this, I will remove the blocks and adjust the coilovers.
Just buy undercoating to make the back look better that way you ate protected don't worry about a fender liner A1 user coating cost about 3.00 a can does a great job lasts forever and protects everything you spray it on
I'm just curious, could you not just yank the whole strut assembly out, throw on the spacer, and put it back in ? Without taking all that crap apart ? Just use strut compressors?
I’ve had two different front leveling kits on my 2008 F150 since it was new. Both made the front suspension really stiff, and the ride harsh on bad roads. I removed the first kit for a while after the first 10 years I owned the truck, and the difference in the way it rode & handled was unbelievable. I now wish I hadn’t put the second kit on it. Wish I’d just took out the rear axle blocks to level it & stuck with factory sized tires.
Nice choice in size have the same size on my 12th gen coyote was gonna do a 3” but found out the previous owner put a 2” on it so I put bigger tires on and you can notice it now
i know it doesn’t haven to do with the video but i could really use help on this decision. My question is should i get a tacoma that’s 2019 with 80k miles it’s a v6 3.5L double cab for 26k or should i get a gmc sierra v8 6.2L with 63k miles for 30k. If i wanted to upgrade in 5-10 years what will be worth more and what one would be more reliable well i have it
Just an fyi your Tahoe has a collapsed lifter problem have the same issue with transmission and traction stability till I replaced it after fix no more problems I didn’t have a tick only miss fire
Damn that was a sweet truck. I had 4 f150s and loved them but had alot of problems with the last one and decided to try out the chevy. Hopefully I'm not disappointed. Love your videos brother keep em coming and good luck with the ford
Man this is the second time I’ve seen a RUclipsr install a leveling kit this way. Take those studs out and put them in the correct way. Not being a hater or talking shit but this way is definitely wrong and just sketchy.
@nickf0811 he installed the leveling kit wrong, even correctly installed it ruins the ride quality and integrity of the suspension. I bet your truck looks like it has worms huh? Lmao

I did the same shit one time 😂😂 you good bubs it been like that for 2 years before I took it off and put 4” lift on my 22 ram
Shouldn’t the allen head bolts be coming up through the spacer instead of down into it?
Yes
This needs to be the most liked comment

This is what I thought but I believe you use the factory nuts up top and use the ones that are included to hold it to the strut.

Hope he sees your comment. Not sure how long those little supplied bolts will last like that.
Chomper’s wheel/tire setup is BY FAR the best you’ve had on her she looks meannnnnnnm
U should definitely do a lifted single cab build 🔥🔥
That tiny 1/2 nut holds the cv axle in?!?!
Yes lol one of my customers has a 14 f150 and it has a tiny axle nut too
I’m thinking the same about the Allen head bolts for the strut.
That’s Ford for ya
Of course it’s the “built Ford tough” quality…..aka bs
Mines 10 years old been working flawlessly the whole time.
definitely enjoying the process man, glad to see a new truck to the channel
I’d recommend camber bolts before you align it. Good setup. Just got done leveling my 23 F150 but decided to drop lower control arm instead of pulling out cv axle.
King ranch interior swap would look clean!
Those interiors get nasty, it’s a 2door keep it badass and go fast
Half inch socket on an axle nut??? Yooo!!!
That truck looks awesome with the wheels and the level… nice.
Color match, bubba setup and camper top… keep in the family and give to your son one day.
6:46 love the bandaid👌
Did you put in a torsion bar kit?
Looks way better, man. I have the factory rear blocks with my coil overs about maxed out to level it, and my angles look like this -> / \. After watching this, I will remove the blocks and adjust the coilovers.
That F150 is looking 🔥
"love taps"
BAM BAM BAM lol

Yessss! I was hoping your would!
Loving this build
On the new fords you don’t need a vacuum pump to release and install the front axle?
I think on the 15-17 or 20 it was vacuum actuated but either in 18 or 21 a lot of the vacuum actuated systems were changed to electronic
I'm just curious, could you not just yank the whole strut assembly out, throw on the spacer, and put it back in ? Without taking all that crap apart ? Just use strut compressors?
Love the rig man leveling kit is way to go
Ready to see some fog lights and color matched bumpers

Looks good but think I would've pulled overload leaf and then 1" spacer in front.
My brother got me on your videos when you had the blue 5.0. Keep it up you have some good videos
Nice choice in size have the same size on my 12th gen coyote was gonna do a 3” but found out the previous owner put a 2” on it so I put bigger tires on and you can notice it now
Perfect torque

Keep up the good work 👍.
Looks amazing!
Man you got me thinking about walking into my local ford dealer and picking up a 4door work truck f150 and just going from there
This truck would be a good prerunner build
Lookin Sharp!
How do those little bolts hold the strut in place on top?
Shes coming along 💪
What happened to the 97 hardbody
Flip kit in the rear fn mint
Just an fyi your Tahoe has a collapsed lifter problem have the same issue with transmission and traction stability till I replaced it after fix no more problems I didn’t have a tick only miss fire
Bilstein 5100s 2.5” level on ‘19 riding on 33’s it rides smooth.
wheel welll liners and some tint are definitely going to wake her up.
So why do you keep chomper in the basement but all of the other vehicles stay outside? Does this make chomper your favorite
It really needs an exhaust especially not hearing anything after chomper starting up 😭
3:20 man them ain’t love taps that’s straight up domestic violence
It look way better drop with some nice weld wheels
Yes absolutely
Looks like it’s sitting lower in the back after the leveling kit.
I love the rake! It gets level when I use my truck like a truck. Leveled trucks are for posers.
you should try dropping it it looks so good right now
Next go full 6" lift!
I'm just gonna say it... I hate how quiet this truck sounds sometimes.
Your doing that level kit the hard way
Covering the inner well of the rear in something black would really fix the look.
Where’s the exhaust?
WTF IS A TORQUE WRENCH🦅🔥🔥🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🦅🔥🦅🇺🇸
Get the exhaust done next.
PRERUNNER !!!!!
this is making me want to get a f150 work truck to mess with it
Lifted? WTF? You literally do everything I wouldn't do to trucks it's unbelievable
Take the valance off the front bumper, looks like a want to be tuner car lol
like your videos
Dude I'm just curious, what do you do for work to afford all these sweet toys? I'm 55 and wanna be you when I grow up man!!
Chase you gotta redo these they aren't installed correctly. This could be very dangerous for your brand new truck
🔥🔥
Yo where is your white trail boss?
Sold it over 2 years ago lol
Damn that was a sweet truck. I had 4 f150s and loved them but had alot of problems with the last one and decided to try out the chevy. Hopefully I'm not disappointed. Love your videos brother keep em coming and good luck with the ford
That should be a sin to lift this truck i mean fr what ru thinking
that place is called a GARAGE BTW
Garage is main level. Basement is under the house.
@@lmfscrew correct where was the Truck?
in the basement. Where the black truck came out.
That's not a good job for a expensive truck jeez take pride in your work.

Rake > squat
This sh!t is the content im talking about, not some fake sh!t
No need to do that at all..
Ruined another nice truck 🙄
How the hell did he ruin this truck with a leveling kit and wheels?
@nickf0811 he installed the leveling kit wrong, even correctly installed it ruins the ride quality and integrity of the suspension. I bet your truck looks like it has worms huh? Lmao
@@MrC9Oh3 okay, a truck is a truck, mine has rust but idgaf. Neither should u.
@nickf0811 I bet you ride around in the bed of a pickup with 8 other dudes at truck meets lmao 🤣
@@MrC9Oh3 I don’t go to truck meets
Title should be “How not to install a leveling kit”…..
No one likes this truck at all 😂
