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
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.
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.
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.
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’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.
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
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 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
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

definitely enjoying the process man, glad to see a new truck to the channel
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 truck looks awesome with the wheels and the level… nice.
6:46 love the bandaid👌
Yessss! I was hoping your would!

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.

Looks good but think I would've pulled overload leaf and then 1" spacer in front.
Love the rig man leveling kit is way to go
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
Looks amazing!
King ranch interior swap would look clean!
Those interiors get nasty, it’s a 2door keep it badass and go fast
Loving this build
Keep up the good work 👍.
My brother got me on your videos when you had the blue 5.0. Keep it up you have some good videos

That F150 is looking 🔥
This truck would be a good prerunner build
Perfect torque
Color match, bubba setup and camper top… keep in the family and give to your son one day.
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.
Half inch socket on an axle nut??? Yooo!!!
Lookin Sharp!
Ready to see some fog lights and color matched bumpers
Bilstein 5100s 2.5” level on ‘19 riding on 33’s it rides smooth.
Flip kit in the rear fn mint
Shes coming along 💪
"love taps"
BAM BAM BAM lol
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
It look way better drop with some nice weld wheels
Yes absolutely
you should try dropping it it looks so good right now
wheel welll liners and some tint are definitely going to wake her up.
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

How do those little bolts hold the strut in place on top?
Next go full 6" lift!

3:20 man them ain’t love taps that’s straight up domestic violence
this is making me want to get a f150 work truck to mess with it
It really needs an exhaust especially not hearing anything after chomper starting up 😭
Get the exhaust done next.
Your doing that level kit the hard way
PRERUNNER !!!!!
WTF IS A TORQUE WRENCH🦅🔥🔥🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🦅🔥🦅🇺🇸
Covering the inner well of the rear in something black would really fix the look.
I'm just gonna say it... I hate how quiet this truck sounds sometimes.
Looks like it’s sitting lower in the back after the leveling kit.
🔥🔥
Lifted? WTF? You literally do everything I wouldn't do to trucks it's unbelievable
What happened to the 97 hardbody
So why do you keep chomper in the basement but all of the other vehicles stay outside? Does this make chomper your favorite
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
Where’s the exhaust?
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.

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
