    Thanks for the video! I just completed this free mod on my 2017 F150. Took about 3 hours because I almost dropped the truck when I removed the U-bolts and then decided to lower the rear diff to remove the blocks. If I didn't use jack stands I would have been in big trouble. By lifting the truck using the rear diff, make sure you remove the rear wheels first. That way the hubs can be lowered enough to allow you to take out the blocks.

    When putting everything back together, how much pound feet of torque do you need to torque down the bolts back very interested in doing this myself. Don’t want to have it too tight and cause too much squeaking and noises and I don’t want it to be too loose to where it falls apart down the road.🤣

    @GoProGoalieUzi 4 года назад +1

    Why were the blocks installed in the first place in the rear? I’m thinking of leveling the front on my 14 f150 so I can get bigger tires. The shop said the rear would have to be raised 1 inch. I don’t think so. The rear is already raised, the front is the problem...right? Nice looking truck. Remove the lift on the silver one in the rear.

    • @Eldela5.0
      @Eldela5.0  4 года назад

      Blocks come factory on 4x4. You don't need rear blocks for leveling kit. Thanks and we might do a front leveling kit on silver one.

    • @Awzzie
      @Awzzie 4 года назад

      Correct. If you’re wanting to run bigger tires you’ll want to leave the rear block in and add a leveling spacer to the front in order to clear those larger tire specs. Most leveling kits will add a 2-2.5 inch spacer to the front and a 1 inch block to put on top of the current rear block (lifting the rear another inch). That’s normal.

    Did you have any issue using the 4x4 U-Bolts after removing the blocks ? Like running out of Thread ? Also any issues with Pin Alignment in a forward way ? I see that they didn't align sideways initially and you hammered it to click, but I'm afraid of the Leaf pins being a little bit forward than the wholes at the axis. OMG my way to explain this is very confusing sorry.

    • @Eldela5.0
      @Eldela5.0  4 года назад

      I didn't have any issues using 4x4 u bolts but they are cheap to buy the 2wd version so they won't be all long. And no issues at all had it like that for past 20k I even added the ford performance lowering shackles already.

    I had the OEM rear 4x4 blocks installed with my front 2” Level kit on my 2WD f150 and it sits like a stock 4x4 F150. But I’m taking the rear blocks out so it sits level. Don’t care too much for the rake. Thought it would have been more leveled out.

    • @Eldela5.0
      @Eldela5.0  3 года назад

    • @Eldela5.0
      @Eldela5.0  4 года назад

      If you have a 4x4 it should lower it about 1inch and quarter. Doesn't the shackle you bought have 2 different option for lowering.

    • @jbone247
      @jbone247 4 года назад

      The GF lowering shackles alone should give you about a 1.5 to 1.75" drop. They only have one height setting unlike the Crown or Maxtrac shackles. Removing the rear block will give you about another 1 - 1.25". Go measure your ground to fender heights and see what the #'s say. By removing the block, you should be about perfectly level on the driver's side, but the passenger side might sit just slightly lower in the rear than the front. It probably won't be noticeable unless you really study it.

    I'm not looking to hate, but come on dude, you're going to get someone hurt or their truck damaged with this video. You don't loosen or remove U-bolts from a truck while it's still on the ground. Do it the right way. Jack it up (from the frame, not the leaf spring like in the video) and rest it on jack stands. Support the rear diff with a jack and do your thing. U bolts get tightened in an 'X' pattern to 98 ft lbs. Ideally, you should get new U bolts / nuts as those threads stretch. You can get 2wd U-bolts from the dealer and they will be the correct length.
