    Definitely got lucky with the jack stands. Same thing happened to me, but the jack stands actually tipped over forward and fell. Luckily only had 1 tire off at a time, and had it under the frame as extra precaution. Glad i was taught to always do that, and now always keep the jack under the frame as well. Go get you some bigger ones. Definitely need them for trucks. $100ish is better than what almost happened

    I just picked up a 98 F-150 XLT 4X4 for 500$ runs and drives, no body damage or any interior damage. Got it from a family friend so it was a steal!

    I love the look. I think leveling the rear or just a tad squat like normal would be perfect. Sucks it isn’t full height but it looks sharp. Hopefully you can get it roadworthy. Love the look. I am definitely bias to bubba setup as of lately

    You should be able to take the two spindles to a welding shop and they should be able to fix them for you

    LARRY!!!!!
    He most definitely needs that rear brought up! Hopefully someone comes through for you and helps Larry get his long and much needed lift kit completed!! Great video, keep up the incredible work!

    You spent all that time hunting down this elusive lift then proceed to cut it up. That pained me a little bit. Could have gotten the same height out of a brand new off the shelf lift. Now you’ll have to buy new coils or cheap out and stack leveling kits. As mentioned a handful of times, take those spindles to a machine shop or weld repair shop and they’ll fix them up easy. Do it right or do it twice. And we will all be watching when you do it a second time

    Ford has always had the best looking extended cab pickups! No to the squat, but that SoCal lean would make it look great. Add 2” to the back.

  • @chuckplainview4085
    @chuckplainview4085 2 года назад +2

    Hey chase! I was thinking you could possibly see about going to a weld shop or a fabricator for the spindle height issue they could have probably helped you with the height difference by making you custom components to either extend or replace your part. I dont know if they could've salvaged the bad one but still! Great video larry looks great

    Larry on some platinum stocks and 37 inch grapps would look great!

  • @thefur34a94
    @thefur34a94 2 года назад

    add a 1.5 level!! it’ll make it have a baby lean with 6” blocks in the back. With stock upper control arms they held up pretty good and ride quality was still impressive even with 26s and 37s.

  • @7_lug_simmons172

    Should’ve just bought a Bilstein 6” lift same one I run and didn’t have to Frankenstein anything and got bigger results

    • @lmfscrew
      @lmfscrew  2 года назад

      When did you buy it? Because it's just a fabtech kit with bilstein shocks. It isn't made anymore even though sites still say it's available. I bought it directly from bilstein two years ago and never got it.

  • @zachbrown328

  • @camyw790
    @camyw790 2 года назад +1

    The idea of the lift kit is cool, but the exicution is not so cool. Suspension kits are engineered to preform as a unit, not to be mixed and matched. The taller lift springs with the short spindles create many issues with the suspension geometry. The upper control arms don't have required travel and bottom out, the upper ball joint now has a bad angle and makes it suseptable to failure, let alone the realignment issues to bring the truck back to original specs. I have put many 6" susp kits in 4wd over the years and have learned all the issues with lifting a ifs truck. If fixing the spindles from the kit was not an option a different kit would have been a better option. Don't agree but good luck anyway.

  • @ThonotosassaBoys

    I got the RC rear blocks, theyre 2 inch, and taller leaf springs from general spring (1900lb 4 leaf) with a total 4 inches rear, and 5 inches front lift.

  • @thomascoates2497
    @thomascoates2497 2 года назад +1

    Avoid the jack stand issue at the end of video with putting stands facing opposite directions, that way the truck can’t shift either direction if they happen to fail.

    So they sell a balljoint taper sleeve maybe you could find one that fits the stock ball joint then have the spindles reemed out to fit the sleeves

  • @joshuatravismurphy271
    @joshuatravismurphy271 2 года назад +1

    Larry looks sick, not big on that much squat, but like you I do like a little lean. With that wollered spindal though, maybe check a couple machinists shops and see if maybe they could press a sleeve in to correct the wollerness. Idk, may seem a bit excessive but it might work?

  • @nickolasnelson1059
