2009-2014 F150 Rough Country 6" suspension lift 4wd install

[@stevenricker791]

This was the most unhelpful video of all time

[@unger4132]

Took me 7 hours, but I didn't have any issues, and I had like 4 people helping me, I had friends working on the other side while I was working on one. Went pretty smooth.

[@ruderocky1431]

Took him 7 hours to unbox.. I need a new haircut now 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@SF-rl7hl]

I like your video! Its real with issues and fatigue I like good job!

[@jesusm4656]

I dig the truck and the height looks just right. The only down side is that back bumper not letting that tailgate down. I own a 2010 f150 5.4 XLT 4x4 that looks a bit Similar to yours. Currently sitting on a 2.5 in lift sitting on 33x12.5x20, thinking about slapping on some 35s with this same exact lift kit you put on yours.

[@oversplodegarage41]

Would like to know what type vehicle lift you are using. Love the size of it

[@PTRRanger951]

They were breaking because they are sockets. Not impact rated. They will snap when used with impact. Any brand will. May take longer than others, but they are not made to handle the hammering. And good video! I want to put a 4 inch lift on mine. How did it hold up over the years?

[@apa3217]

Did you have too cut the cross member?

[@jorgefigheroa77]

Good video brother….did you ended up drilling the caliper holes bigger?

[@blazintrails3023]

That's the difference between workin in the driveway and working in a shop.. I can bust this job out at work in 4-5hrs complete with an alignment but in the driveway the jobs always end up being days lol

[@Claywade-dd3rz]

What bumper is the front one?

[@noahstone1328]

I think 8-10 hours too is if you have air tools they make a huge difference in speed but not everyone is a pro shop lol.

[@travr6]

I know this is old but did you have to cut anything? Getting ready to do my 2012 ecoboost

[@thebuckaroos6135]

In order to do any 4+ inch lift the cross members have to be notched, if I remember correctly it could go back to factory because you’re not taking that much out just enough for The differential to drop the bolt holes would still line up, I ended up having to use a reciprocating saw and a grinder to finish it out, good luck!

[@buckshotx]

@@thebuckaroos6135 does this apply if you lift with blocks and a 6 inch front strut

[@thebuckaroos6135]

Yes that’s what I did in this video, The reason the crossmember Has to be notched is so the drivetrain can be lowered to keep the geometry of the drive shafts correct! Hope that helps, it’s not that scary to make the cut, if you are buying the kit new in the instructions it will give you a template to make the cut

[@buckshotx]

@@thebuckaroos6135 no i just wont be able to convince my dad to do a 6 inch lift if thats the case

[@benbradshawjr2856]

I just did the 6" on a 2012.anybody have issues with the rusty lower control arm bolts? Most vids on this lift are just promoting the product.they dont show the cutting of the frame,the complications.i did the entire front end by myself in id say 12-14hrs.my son helped me with the rear which took us about 4hrs.

[@thebuckaroos6135]

It’s been a while since I did that lift, I had that dewalt impact that helped on all the bolts, no clue if I record the parts of cutting the frame, we were still pretty new to recording videos, and some times the angles just don’t work well for recording, I would probably never want to do anything more then a leveling kit ever again myself, my problem afterwords is my bolts come lose 😅

[@benbradshawjr2856]

@@thebuckaroos6135 i have the milwaukee m18 1/2 impact.those things are def a lifesaver.it wont bust a bolt loose if its super tight but i crack it loose with a breaker bar then its all good.i dont ill ever do the 6" lift again unless i have another person w me for the whole job.thanks for the reply

[@oggarage3459]

Old post but yes I did I had cut off the bolts and get new control arms from the salvage yard .

[@Farmalleric]

How do you like that front bumper ? Was looking into getting one to protect the front from deer

[@thebuckaroos6135]

I loved that bumper, I recently upgraded to a ford raptor, and havnt been able to locate an off road bumper for it yet, but that was a really nice bumper, I would suggest it!

[@dannysharp5893]

Chrome vanadium is the type of metal that the adapter is made out of not the brand.

[@rickketchumn4458]

Thanks I’ve got a 2012 f 150 got the kit in got lot of stuff from you video thanks

[@travr6]

Did you have to cut anything or remove the rear axle?

[@trip446]

@@travr6 did you ever figure this out?

[@travr6]

@@trip446 Been a year since i did this but i did not remove the rear axle.

[@travr6]

@@trip446 I did have to cut part of the frame on the front though. Had to completely remove the front diff.

[@americantrucknation4891]

What is the capacity of the jack?

[@thebuckaroos6135]

6,000lbs we over did it with the truck and cracked the concrete, we have used it a few times since but now I put jack stands under it for safty till I can pour new footings

[@nathanielbrazelton6886]

One thing that I seen wrong. You are supposed to use a vacuum pump to release the differential out of your spindle!! Good luck. It may give you a problem..
