FINALLY someone levels an F150 the correct way. So many stores and companies are telling customers to take apart the VERY SENSITIVE upper suspension and hub components. NOT NECESSARY. The strut is installed from the botton at the factory, take it out the same way.
I see so many different ways of how it's done. Seems very dependent on if you're working off the floor or on a lift. I don't know what the proper way to go about it is. This just makes the most sense to me.
@@fiftynation this method is how i did my 13th gen. After reading about guys on their backs for 5 hours, and watching stores and companies (with full mechanic shops, lifts and consumables) taking apart the knuckles, pulling CVs out of IWEs, gorilla bashing the UCA ball joints, vacuum lines, brake lines, brake calipers, so on and so on.... i finally turned to youtube and saw a kid looking to level his 2wd, and he did it this way. The look on my face when the realization set in that i could do the whole job in under two hours, on my back, with simple (but correct) tools and this method! Ive been a straight up evangelist for doing it this way on all the groups.
fyi- it's recommended you loosen the UCA pivot and retorque on the ground when installing levels or new struts- the bushing in the UCA pivot will fail quickly otherwise.
I agree, that -18 looks deadly! Did you have to do any trimming? Mind sharing the sizes of your rims/tires? Would love this setup for my Tremor as well! Thanks for the vid!
I was so pumped for the Tremor trim to come out... You pay a pretty penny for the jump from a FX4 to a Tremor and as far as offroad hardware you don't get your money's worth. On the Ranger Tremor you got upgraded shocks over FX4 and then on F150 they say they are turned but I'm yet to see anyone prove it. For $1500 can order from Ford performance the Fox 2.0 coilovers and shocks all the way around which will also give you a 2 or 2.5" level and imo a way better ride. I went with the XLT 302A with a FX4 package and then just put on the Fox package purchased through Ford and had ford install to keep all warranty. Saved the $8k in going to a tremor. Do better Ford... Reduce the Tremor Price or keep the price and just let it come with the Fox 2.0 from factory. Truck looks great though!
@@tacticaltechie Now this is Canadian figures so it might be different where you're at. But an XLT FX4 that's similarly modded out to a 401A tremor was 67K. A 401 a tremor was 70K. This was all during employee pricing. The tremor has the leather-material orange trimmed interior seats with the camo design/the vented hood/dual exhaust/skid plate/the different headlight and grill setup/ a taller suspension setup and a couple other tasteful mods that are tremor specific. For an extra $3000 I figured it was worth it to have all those extra things plus Tremor name itself which I believe will help hold its value overtime vs the XLT name. But you're right there aren't to to many differences and in some cases the price may be to far apart to justify the tremor.
I show the angles in the video. They aren't to bad. But you certainly wouldn't wanna go any higher. Iv never had issues with premature wear on my CV axles/boots and I ran a 3 inch Lift on my last truck
No nothing yet! And I'm definitely not the only one with this setup. Seems to be the go to setup for the Tremor guys and doesn't sound like Peopel are having any issues with this setup.
Great video. I'm putting 2 inch on a 24 f150 and i notice you didn't rotate the bottom part of the strut going into the lower control arm?whe i did my v23 f150 i had to rotate the bottom of the strut
Everything was going smooth when I did mine until I dropped one of the nuts for the top strut mount and it rolled of the back and I wasn’t ever able to find it😞
Looks great! Any issues with Blue Cruise or any of the cameras after leveling it? Going to have my 24' leveled and just had some concern with all the electronics on these new trucks if it would throw them off?
@@KevinDood Blur cruise is not available in my location unfortunately. But it doesn't effect my auto steer(lane keep assist) or any of my pre collision technology. I know the dealership can recalibrate for trucks that get leveled!/lifted but I haven't had to do that yet
How do the rear locker and the front torsion diff work differently, what do they do? And is that front torsion diff really that good, when so many others do not have it, even the Raptor?
@ haha! I meant what I said when I said great video by the way. But there’s like a clicking or rubbing noise or something throughout the video. Maybe I’m tripping. Idk lol
My inner fender wells are chipping pretty good unfortunately. I have a 23 lariat 20,000 km all highway driving. I miss those little fender flares the previous gen had
Very nice! I'm considering the 2025 Tremor, oxford white, and doing something like what you've done here to it, adding 35" tires. I do wish I could option the Powerboost engine with the Tremor. Also after market, am torn between adding the smooth black Diamondback HD bedcover or RSI Evo Smartcap. How smooth and comfortable does your Tremor drive, especially on long highway drives? I'm tempted to get a Raptor for it's buttery smooth drive, but am hoping the Tremor does well in that regard, maybe even close, any idea? Leaning custom Tremor though. Oh, and another question. Since the Tremor starts 1" higher than say the Platinum, would doing your 2 1/2" level basically make it the same height as a 3 1/2" level on the Platinum, if you know? Thanks. Again, great job!
My only feedback after just buying a new rig... Get a Lariat or XLT put the FX4 package on it and then bundle in or order through Ford the Fox 2.0 coilover package. IT will give you the 2" on the front and way better shocks in the back. You can keep your full Fard warranty and probably save yourself a lot of money. Unless you really want the orange accents and the modular front bumper. You could also just buy that part from ford and swap it out.
I bought it from @stage3motorsports and had it mailed to a US parcel service located on the US /Canada border and I drove over to pick it up as I live just mins away from the border crossing.
I thought the tremors selling point was that it was factory "lifted", but all I've seen have looked just like any other f150 FX4. Is it just the "tuning" that's different?
They are higher. The factory strut on a tremor is roughly 1.5" longer then standard F150 struts, lots of xlt guys are using tremor struts to level out their F150s. The tremor suspension will also rise a little better.
@@fiftynation so do they have a taller block in rear as well to keep the rake then? And also if the taller strut was so then wouldn't that put a 2.5" level out of the question? You'd then have like 4" of stacked lift. Sorry, this isn't attack on you at all, something just seems off.
@@snakenash I got it from @stage3motorsports. Luckily I'm close enough to the border it's a 10min drive to pick it up in the states. Cause ya finding someone to ship to Canada is tough sometimes 😞
I want to buy a new car. Do you recommend buying a Ford F-150 V8 5.0 or a Ram Dodge? I would like to know which is better in the long run, has fewer problems, and has less fuel consumption.
@ that’s what I thought I was gonna have a mechanic install them for me and he was telling me it won’t effect anything, and my tires will be fine I dont trust that
@kurtiswilke2867 no sir. To me it sounds like your upper control arm his hitting your coil spring if you're hearing a clanging sound. What level kit did you get?
Seems to ride good. I feel more bump and what not. But I'm guessing it's from my 10ply tires not so much the level itself. And alignment is good now. But the mechanic had to max out the camber bolt to get it perfect.
@@coreyford9418 I went with 305/55r20 as they physically measured bigger then the 33x12.5r20 when put side by side. Even tho on paper it says 33x12.5r20 is bigger.
Not sure about those wheels. They look a little too much like wheels a 16 year old would put on his 20 year old jacked up diesel truck or something lol... but that's probably just because I love the stock Tremor wheels.
I had to remove crash bars with 35/12.5 mud grapplers with 18x9 and +18 offset wheels you will never fit 37s without a 6" lift and those guys that did still did trimming

Is the kit side specific or can they be used on either side because they only lineup one way? Sorry for the dumb question.
What about blue cruise dealership said can’t lift it will not work let me know i just bought one 👍
Blue cruise isn't available where I am so I can't answer this sorry.

Is this the auto springs kit? On their website it mentions compatibility with 2021-2023 Tremors but not 2024...

Curious. What does that set the clearance too from the ground to the bottom of the fender?
Front fender measures roughly 19" of clearance. But ultimately your rear diff will be the lowest point of clearance on a truck
Does this type leveling kit make the truck ride stiff? Or does it still ride good
My truck does drive more stiff. But I'm thinking it's from the 10PLY tires more so then the level kit
