This product is really for those who just want looks. Once off the road, the factory struts couldn't handle the 3-inch extension and ended up leaking badly. If you plan on going off-road, get a product with longer springs and matching dampers for extra headroom. replaced them very quickly and installed the Fox 2.0 system. The product has a simple but solid construction. The extra height gives me extra clearance to fix some dents and scratches on the skid plate off-road. All you need to do is disconnect the control arm, loosen the upper control arm, unscrew the two lower control arm bolts (mark location of the cam on the bolt and washer of the nut for reinstallation), and the strut can be removed. there is no need to disconnect the tie rods or upper ball joint, or remove the spindle nut.) On the rear wheel, there is no need to remove the wheels or disconnect the shock absorber. Just remove the old U-bolt, jack the car up (I used a Ford jack on the frame). near the passenger door) and lift up until you can insert the seal. Lower the car, install the new U-bolt, done.
