heard they could be a bit of a bugger...just wondering if i can do this in the driveway??

 

I will tell you - I am glad I went to a shop! I went with the Auto Spring 2 1/2" level for my FX4. The removal was simple - but the re-installation was a pain. The guy helping me had to actually remove the hub in order to get the coil back in. But all in all, in was all completed in a couple of hours. Access to a lift and air tools was a plus!

Good luck! BTW, you'll need the alignment when you are finished ("toe in" is the only area).

 

I did it in my driveway. My air tools were useless on the lower strut bolt so I just did it by hand. Hardest part is forcing the strut assembly into the lower control arm. I ended up renting a spring compressor. It helped, but very little. Ended up just prying away although I was a little uneasy about it because the brake and vacuum lines were kinda stretched.



If you go with just a 2" it might just slide right in. I wish I would have gone 2" because the 2.5" has me a little nose up.

 

i aso went with a 2.5" AS kit....i took mine to a shop and they said it went it pretty easy

 

i have an 09 f-150 with a 2.5 lift and 22 inch tires.having problems with rsc when i hit a bump. any help would be appreciated!!

 

You're having problems with Roll Stability Control? What is it doing? It's nice to know that rsc at least has a pulse.

 

i have been told that it is because of the 22 in wheels but i cannot believe that is the problem.......just wondering if anyone out there has 22 s and are seeing the same thing......when in a turn the rsc will activate thinking its going into a slip event........

 

It sounds like you have an issue unrelated to your 22s. I would take it to the dealer.

 

Installing my leveling kit next Sunday. I'm putting the 2 inch Pro-Comp system on, its got a lifetime warranty, but any way i'm gonna get some new meat for my beotch, just wondering if any one knows how big i can go on the existing 18x9 inch factory wheels. I'm currently looking at some LT295/65R/18's by Goodyear. Thanx

 

Are they 18x9s? I was under the impression they were 18x7.5. The 04-08 guys have been able to fit certain 35x12.50R18s on their factory wheels with just a leveling kit.

 

Correct - the stock 18" wheels on my FX4 are 7.5" wide.

 

I've got the chrome package on my XLT, i was pretty sure the chrome clad aluminum wheels were 18/9's but i could be wrong, if they are 7.5's thats a joke, i would have just ordered their crappy wheels and ordered new ones. Oh well, you get what you get. Thanx guys
