You can do it a few ways. On my truck it was already lifted from the factory so lifting the front balanced it out (this is the case on most factory lifted trucks). One way to lift the rear is to add an extra leaf to the leaf springs. This is typically more complicated. So the easier way is to add a block (aka spacer) between the leaf springs and where the leaf spring rests on the rear differential. They sell them and they are relatively cheap.

Do you have a specific brand or material? Some companies are switching to aluminum but im not sure the long term turn out would be. Because of the shipping problems in getting steel into the country.

All of our vehicles are going to be in great condition after all these shutdowns! I'm in Seattle, during December 2020 with a current shutdown, but Autozone is open so I'm tinkering. Painted my wheel wells and everything else with the rust reformer and the undercoating, but I hosed it all down with WD-40 and let it ride like that for a week. Went to the carwash and pressure washed wheel wells, and undercarriage twice with hot water, soap, and then rinse with hot water ✌ times. Drove home and it was dry, applied rust reformer, then waited till the next day to apply undercarriage coating. Came out better then new! Even kinda looks like aftermarket custom parts because it looks so good, at least to a random girl that likes my truck lol. I did both tie rod ends for cheap, and it was so easy after watching your video! 👌 Tomorrow I'm detailing the inside interior of my lifted 2007 ford f150 5.4 3v, and i will do the engine bay, same vehicle I restored undercarriage, and replaced tie rods on with your directionsin your videos. I'm looking to see if you have a video on exhaust upgrade without out a welder, and truck bed restoration that has been spray lined, and has faded over time, and has small damage. I have true dual exhaust that has gotten rusty, and I'm starting to pop holes in the sucker romping around lol Some of the exhaust mounts rusted and broke, and created holes in exhaust where mounts made contact. About to search for those now! Thanks dude for explaining thing's in the right order, and giving us the information we need with no more and no less then what we need to hear. Keeping us busy during shutdowns 👨🔧👨🏭 got me paint brushing the interior of my truck 😂

Also worth mentioning, under no circumstances should you lower a IFS vehicle without proper mods done, my 01 Explorer always sat level, and ate CV axles, I found recently that, in comparison to the wrecked 99, it was lowered 2 inches in the front, I put the front end back stock, and it hasn't needed any more axles, and it drives a lot better and looks a ton better, besides that, room for 31s, it's a solid win

This is a good idea and ive done many trucks and some suvs but most places charge anywhere from $60-$120 for an alignment. Search cheap lift kit for your truck and there are some coil spacers and block kits for roughly $70.Just a tip for you guys.

Did this when you first made the video and I’m getting ready to take it back down... I only did it for more clearance for the bigger tires I had. But it’s been YEARS and it worked well just the suspension is so hard 😅 And when I took it to several shops to get the front end realignment they all said they wouldn’t touch it 😂

nice video. But let me correct ya. you did everything correctly. but.. should make sure the tires are the right size. And treads are about the same, left to right. on the front. check air pressure, make sure the psi are equall then take measurement. And when you adjust the tordions. you want to be the same height right to left, or left to right. you don't have to make equal adjustments. Your goal is to raise the front end. and level it so your not sagging on one or the other side. best way is to crank on torsions. get it raised where you want it, and at the same time, keep it the same height from left to right, or vise versa. And if you want to get picky. then you can crank the driver side torsion a bit higher than the passenger side to compensate for driver weight. when you have a heavier driver, it will help. but it only takes about 3/8 to 1/2 inch higher. at the most.ans get the alignment done, right away.

@ chris waldrop... sounds like your a douche bag. Due to the fact that I was only tring to help. being that I have done sterring and suspension, for over 20 years. So when it comes to that, yes I do know my shit. seems to me that, you are on here trolling, cause, you ain't got nothin better to do or say. word of advice. key board warrior.... go slap your momma, cause apperently she never told you, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say shit. plus, it's called the comment section, for people like me, who knows a little something. And would like to help out , or put my two cents in for what it's worth. so have a nice day. douche bag.
