Did mine today, and don’t forget to spin the strut base 180 degrees due to the spacer rotates the bolt pattern by that much

How do you spin the strut?
@HighCountryRambler Жыл бұрын
Your tire shop did you a favor by swapping out those lug nuts, not sure why their not recalled. My 2015 F150 got so bad when I hit them with the impact every one spun to the point nothing (I had) would break them loose. Same thing happened to my son's Jeep, both ended up in the shop costing $$ to rectify. However you can find a set for each wheel online for about the cost of one nut at the tire shop. Great video, I like not removing the hub.

Did you have to change the angle of the struts to get them to realign?
@ostfrontbrickace2 жыл бұрын
In this case no, with the space on you basically change the strut 180 degrees. You will not have to worry about the compressed bolts on the bottom of the strut if you replaced them with a hex head bolt and nuts.

I got a 04 f150 i want to put a 3inch leveling kit off amazon, But i also recently put in new oem front upper ball joints and new control arms So my question is would it hold up the lift on stock suspension parts ? And stock wheels

Did you have to turn the strut 180 or did you just swap the driver and passenger struts
@chrisgonzalez57019 ай бұрын
I just bought the rough country 2 in lift with the lifted struts do you think I can do this without taking out the whole arm? Or do you think it’ll be harder to put the new strut it without take off the whole assembly? Thanks for your time
