2019 F-150 leveling kit install. (2015-2023)

[@DylanTeeters2]

After doing this with 2 buddys, the fact you did this solo is highly impressive. I wanted to off my self halfway through

[@AllenKirby-jj8sx]

I did it by myself well tried and gave up cause I couldn’t get the damn spring out

[@vicc6744]

Nice job - I thought I was the only MOFO with an old school Torque Wrench- hahaha- Thanks for the video

[@fk2neat]

im about to do one on my truck, found a few videos wherre they disconnect the steering rack and swaybar link and drop the lower arm from the frame keeping the knuckle and everything still connected. seems like it took them about 15 or so min per side. seems way easier to do in my opinion

[@HighCountryRambler]

When I did this on my son's vehicle I bought a cheap Harbor Freight coil spring compressor for about $40. When we compressed the springs there was no need for a pry bar or pulling the driveshaft. That's my recommendation...

[@harrisondesmarais623]

How much did you have to compress it

[@HighCountryRambler]

@@harrisondesmarais623 Enough to clear the bottom spring mounting bracket on top if the lower A-arm. On his vehicle it seemed to be 2 to 3 inches. Re watch this video and note how far he dropped the lower A-arm to get a idea. I put my impact wrench on each side of the compressors until they cleared. Google them at harbor freight if they still sell them.

[@parkerburk7876]

I’ve seen people mentioning a tool for the vacuum line? Did you just unplug an replug it after and everything was fine?

[@MicroAppleStudios]

The easiest way I did it was removing the lower control arm bolts, Install the lower strut nuts, then used a floor jack and ratchet strap to position the arm back in place. 45 minutes for each side and had it back on the ground

[@johnklug589]

Recommend after market coil over like fox or bilsteins that way you dont have to worry about the bottom 2 bolts on they are easily removable and can be installed when the new coil over goes in

[@Wyatt_K]

great video and nice truck, looks just like my 2017.

[@neil4634]

Nice work. Great instructional video!

[@outdoorswithjim207]

Thanks

[@butters3879]

Great video.

[@outdoorswithjim207]

Thanks, I hope this helps out.

[@frederickschlegel1388]

I've seen a few of these videos and I don't know why you guys don't drive the studs out of the bottom of the struts with an air hammer. It would make taking the struts out of the truck alot easier.

[@outdoorswithjim207]

I have done it that way on a 2018 F150 and you have to apply heat and it’s actually harder and takes more time.

[@thatonecarguy5999]

What if I put a spring compressor set on the spring to re install the strut with spacer. That might actually work and I have a set too. Man great video thanks

[@MoseYoutube]

What tire size are you using here? Edit: NVM saw 275/65r18 right at the end.

[@Degen463]

Do you have to pull the vacuum line?

[@pully-1140]

What size tires can you fit with that leveled

[@imBlook]

I’d go 35” tires max. They will rub slightly at a full turn.

[@sergeantdog3255]

will disconnecting the vacuum line for the 4wd mess with anything?

[@johnnycortez46]

How has the ride quality been since installing?

[@outdoorswithjim207]

Same haven’t noticed a bit of difference in ride quality. And I haven’t noticed much difference in fuel mileage. Headlights do you need to be adjusted though.

[@ggsocal4511]

Hey Jim, Could have used a Strut Compressor or spring compressor to make the job easier ?

[@laurenbradley8704]

👍🏼

[@Arizonahwy10]

It definitely looks better, did you have to get alignment after the install?

[@outdoorswithjim207]

Yes

[@lalocisneros7892]

Have the same wheels and also did a 2 1/2 level, have you thought about getting bigger tires ? I’ve been in between 35 or 34 have you thought of a perfect setup?

[@outdoorswithjim207]

I may go to a bigger tire when they need to be replaced. As of now I kinda like the set up and don’t wanna sacrifice to fuel economy.

[@sammelendez9790]

What brand do you get your 2.5 ? I can’t find a good one for my 2020

[@hashy3]

why in gods name havent i seen any of yall making videos use a spring compressor... literally just pull it out without removing any of the ball joints??

[@harrisondesmarais623]

How do you get the shock back in I can't seem to get it I have tried prybars but no luck

[@OttoMatieque]

now that you have lifted the front, the second you use it as a truck it will be squatting

[@Mainelywork]

Would this work on a Tundra?

[@outdoorswithjim207]

Yes sir.
