should this level out when i put bigger tires on it and get done lifting the other side? j/w

 

[dragogt]

btw, im gonna use shackles and ford explorer leafs.... im doin away with the blocks.

Is there any lift to be gained by useing 150 springs, or is it just a stiffer ride?

 

[fmxfreak]

yea, u would prolly gain about an inch, inch and a half. because an f150 is a fullsize truck and holds more weight in the rear.

 

[dragogt]

Alright tks just curious.

 

[fmxfreak]

soo, anyone wana help me out with the tow concern?

 

[fmxfreak]

yea, i guess bent beams are gonna be the way to go.

are u using these on your truck?

 

[fx2prerunner]

factory ones in there now but yes i will be using the 4 degree adjustable bushings in my truck

 

[fmxfreak]

how many degrees will i have to adjust to correct the geometry of my 4" lift? btw im 2wd, idk if they make them adjustable enough for that much lift...

i pb blasted the hell out of it, lol. the impact wrench didnt have enuff juice to do it... my aircompressor must not be big enough. i broke a craftsman socket with my jack handle slipped over the end... haha. ill need to get my breaker bar from my friend tomorow. ill keep pics updated.

while trying to turn the breaker bar have some one smack the back of the socket with a hammer

heat helps sometimes

 

[fmxfreak]

yah, i got all the bolts loose, i got a 1 1/8s hitch wrench with a piece of squared steel tubing as a cheater bar...

 

[fmxfreak]

any help on getting the bolt out that connects the radius arms to the beams?? is it machined in?

 

[ForOffRoadDriving]

I had to use a bit of heat on the bolt around the radius arms in conjunction with my impact on the bottom side to help break it loose. then i used a plastic deadblow hammer on the top of the bolt (with the nut on it to prevent thread mashing).

and drop down brackets and pivot something or other
