Review on 🚙 Enhanced Suspension System - Rough Country 2.5" Leveling Kit, Fits 2004-2008 Ford F150 Trucks, Durable Molded Spacer by Robert Aiono

I found out you can

good product. I have never personally repaired a front suspension. I thought about taking it to a mechanic and having them install it for me, but decided I wanted to find out for myself. It was a bigger undertaking than I thought it would be, but it turned out wonderful. Started around 3pm on a Saturday, worked until around 10pm and finished. Resumed the next day and finished by early afternoon. Some things that will make your life easier: Whoever said crowbars are useful is right. Have a good tool handy to reattach the knuckles after placing the spacer on top and then reattach the upper control arm. If you don't have large sockets and wrenches for the lower strut bolts, you'll need to rent one from your local auto parts store. Wasn't a problem, but I didn't expect to need any special tools. - Provide a covered area to leave the truck on jack stands overnight if necessary. If this is your first time doing this, it will take longer than you think. Get some helpers. The extra arms and extra head helped a lot - take your time and don't feel overwhelmed. Anyone who wants to learn can definitely do so. Overall the truck looks great, the ride doesn't feel harsh. Having your shock absorbers replaced prior to installing this kit can only make the problem worse, but my truck drives great. The front end hasn't been adjusted (doesn't pull to either side) and has come off the road a number of times since installing this kit. Don't spend more than $300 to find a shop to align your truck, do it yourself.

Pros
  • a nice thing
Cons
