1997 Ford F-250 going up???? Installing a 4 inch lift kit

Рет қаралды 57,304

Күн бұрын

Finally lifting up the F250.... I was able to get my lift kit parts and started to install them. The kit is a 4 inch rough country suspension lift. Front consists of new leaf springs and drop arms for the twin I beam. The rear is a block to lift it. Also the kit comes with 4 shocks. Here is the link for the kit.

How in the heck did you get the old bolts on the old brackets off? I can’t seem to get the top to stop spinning, I’ve tried an open end wrench but it takes freaking forever. Any tips or tricks?

Great video! Are those bully steps at all 4 doors? Can you tell me how you installed them? I have a 95 OBS 4dr but the bully manual says they won't fit. Can you please help me out?

SummitLife thank you I appreciate it. It took about 4-5 hours. That was on a lift with my buddy s awesome toolbox. Alignment was done last night took about 1.5 😂. I will keep it going

Any tips for the vertically mounted bolts in the axel pivot bracket? Having a hard time getting a backing wrench on top.

I used a long wrench with a pivot head on it. Hope this helps. Yeah they are a pain. Thanks for watching my channel

I need new shocks for my lifted 350...do you know the model number of the bilsteins you have?

@TJSTEDMAN 3 жыл бұрын

Is that front drag link bent? What size tires are on it in this video? The ranked stance is for when you carry heavy pay load, did the kit come with anything to keep the rake or would you just use a add-a-leaf or did you remove something to add less lift in the rear? Thank you.

@an_auto_addiction5742 3 жыл бұрын

I left the add a leaf in the rear . So it’s actually higher than it should be debating on taking it out to see how it sits. We will see. Thanks for watching my channel. The tires that were on it were 295/70/18. Had to lift to run a higher offset wheel. Tire size stayed about the same. Thanks again

@an_auto_addiction5742 5 жыл бұрын

Jason asiancajun hey man yup mine still rides like a tank. The beilstien shocks were wrong and I had to use the rough country ones. I thinks it’s the nature of those front ends. I heard if you super duty swap it it rides better. Maybe 1 day. Thanks for watching my channel.

Martin Hinkins they are the factory calipers. I Rooke them apart wire brushed them .then sanded. And primed and painted. Then cleared. Hopefully they will hold up.

How much did this lift cost and would this lift work on a 1990 Ford F-250 4x4? If so could I get the link?

@jonmaciel4696 4 жыл бұрын

I’ve got a 4 inch lift on my 96 f350 with also a 4 inch lift but the difference is that it’s a solid axle and I’m currently running a weird tire size because it’s not a 33 or 35 it’s like a 34 in a way but I was wondering you think a 20x12 on 35’s will not be too bad I know I will have to do a bit of trimming but you think it won’t be too bad ?

@an_auto_addiction5742 4 жыл бұрын

jon maciel I was running 325-50-22 on 22x12 with a -44 offset. I spaced the number with washers about 1/2 of a inch and then I just barely trimmed the inside edge of the bumper. It definitely came out good solid axle you should have a little more room . Let me know how it goes and thanks for watching my KZfaq channel

@an_auto_addiction5742 3 жыл бұрын

I just took some lift out of the back. Definitely rides better then the add a leaf I had. But still is not the smoothest. Thanks for watching my video. Will keep you posted in upcoming videos.

I am having an issue I hope you might be able to help with. I am currently installing a 4” lift on mine and the leafs don’t sit square on the axel, and this is causing problems getting the U-bolts to go thru the top and bottom brackets with the plates aligned properly. Did you have this problem? I can’t seem to find anyone that also had this problem.

@an_auto_addiction5742 4 жыл бұрын

Aaron Mueggenberg try loosing up the bolts on the drop bracket and see if it gives you any room to move the axle to get it square. Hope this helps ya. If not send me a pic on Instagram and I will look at what ya got. Thanks for watching my channel

@stevebauer6293 4 жыл бұрын

I'm having this same problem, but mines even worse trying to install on a bare frame. I could just get the U bolts started. Thought about taking the pivot bolt out so I could tighten the leaf springs then jack the center up and try to reinstall the bolt.

@an_auto_addiction5742 4 жыл бұрын

Steve Bauer the front leafs were definitely a pain. I have to use a long pry bar and had someone helping me. Let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching my channel
