Nope no harm. Been going great!

Yes you should always do an alignment after the suspension is messed with.

Not when you replacing your suspension system after 30k miles lol

Ran around with a 2" leveling kit for 45,000 miles. Not one problem.

I ended up getting a 6 inch lift kit.

If I remember correctly it was 90 ftlbs but they come in the instructions!

@@LonestarGarage On the 2015 Fx4 it seems the torque for the upper shock mounting nuts should be 52 ft.lbs. and from what i gather the same torque value should be used on the spacer/strut connection

Correct ! The rake has nothing to do with gas mileage. It’s so when your hooked up to a loaded down trailer the truck levels out

Get bags in the back then

Mine didn't change much if anything it was a little stiffer but not uncomfortable. Ride quality has a lot to do with tires!!

Maybe like 2 mpg less but I'm still getting over 20 in the city.

It's not bad enough to expect years less of life. I drove it like that for 3 and 1/2 years and I still know for a fact it hasn't been changed cuz I know the new owner of it so plenty of life.

Ya I have a 2in block I'm wanting to install too just haven't had the time! But you have the same theory and I so it should be a lot better.

@@LonestarGarage yea I just went and measured and I’m about 1 1/4 of rake on driver side and about 2 inches of rake on passenger side (gas tank is on drivers side and I’m not parked on completely level ground) I think if I take 1 inch away in the rear it should be pretty good or at least as far as anyone could tell with out measuring. Is the block you are installing 2 inches thick? So .5 more height over the stock block?

Yes if I remember correctly. I'll have to look and get back to you. I ordered it months ago

@@LonestarGarage 👍🏼

Best place around me charges 200$ labor.

Les Schawb will install for $300. Have a beer and enjoy your day while they install them 😁

Who cares

The truck they are working on is 2wd.

Technically you shouldn't need and alignment. But I will be honest I should have gotten one just to be sure I did get some inner tire wear.

Awesome- appreciate it man! Going to be putting a 2” rough country on mine in the next few weeks. How is your truck riding? Did you notice any difference in your drive, mpg, etc?

It's doing great. The ride got way better when I got off the stock tires. The mpg did go down a little bit it still gets over 20 in the city!

Ok good to know. What size did you go with? I’m riding on the stock rims which are 20x8.5. Thinking about putting a 285/60R20 on. Not sure what that comes out to be in inches but shooting for about a 33-33.5” tire on the stock rim

Look at my video description all the wheels and tires info it's in there.

That's what I was wondering. I have seen some that as they tighten the lower shock bolts it just rotates the bracket instead of compressing the strut and rotating the cap. I may try it if it doesn't work then I can always compress it but I'd prefer not to if not necessary.

@@jjames9816 so what happened did u end up having to rotate it ?

Yes I did

Nope never has happened!

Drive around them

Depends on your trim package for my truck 2 inch would have been exactly level.

Ever so slightly I just noticed it but the tires have 30k ish on them so it's not to drastic.

Yeahp mine did bad. Rotated them realigned and fixed

There's too many variables for me to give you an exact answer. but with a 3-in lift front and back you can probably easily get away with around a 35 inch tire. Like I said there's so many variables like your truck specifically is that a 4x4 or not the brand of tire the dimensions and brand of wheel etc...

Everyone knows why it’s raked from the factory.

I'm not sure the fuel website probably has that info.

Ya 2in is perfect but I bought my tires before and I was worried they were going to rub so I went with the 2.5.

They are 18s the exact specs are in the description.

I Still have it i'm working on getting some content with it.

Id say about 2 hrs or so thats with having access to a Lift if it was on jack stands it would be significantly longer.

@@LonestarGarage Thank you very much!

Don't have to

it's easier to slide back in place when the bottom does not have those two long studs sticking down preventing you

Nope everything is still performing as if should.

Any modifications to the suspension should get an alignment.

I'm in the market for one and have never heard of that. Is Ford fixing it?

No I am not. I haven't heard of this issue either..... Mine does Creek every once in a while but no warping. Keep me posted!

I just had my dash replaced because it was warped. 2019 XLT sport

Soooo a buddy of mine just noticed I do have a Warp on my passenger side dash.... How long did it take?

It took four months for my dashboard to arrive, and two days for the install.

A 35 but I'm running about a 34. A 265/75/18

Lonestar Speed thanks for the reply I’m having my 35s our on right now!!

Nice! Hope all goes well.

No not as of yet. I may in the future.

I would just put a bigger block in the rear

Ya now that I've looked at it for a few months. I'm going to look in to a 1in block or something soon.

Not yet. I have a set but I haven't installed them yet.

Okay thanks. That explains why my truck isn't level. I bought it used and it has 2.25 blocks in the front. Not level at all but I guess the previous owner put a bigger block in the back. Sucks because you can't find anything by its true size. Only the change in lift it will make.

Ya I have 1in blocks to level it out or possibly give a little rake back but still clear the 35s

The 285/70 will be a taller sidewall so it's up to the look you like and if you want to chance any rubbing!

I'll work on it! What else would you like to see?

I did off camera! Thanks!

What size tires are you running? Also did you get your speedometer recalibrated? My truck says I'm getting 16-17 but it's actually getting 20 ish due to the truck not knowing the diameter of the tires.

@@LonestarGarage 275/65/20 nitto terra grappler g2 And how do you calibrate the computer anyways I’ve calculate the miles myself and it’s pretty much what it Shows in the truck

R u special

Nick Trucker i did it on my last truck 2008f150 ....your right it over extends them and hits alittle.....but it worked, the truck had 150k with original suspension....I put the spacers on it ran it till 170k and I had to replace everything( struts, UCA, lower ball joint , inner outer tie rods and anti sway links) trust me 170k all original, it needed it probably as nothing to do with the spacers....cost me about 500$ it was cheap and the truck drove brand new after .would I do it again on my new 2019f150????no ....I bought a 2.5” suspension lift with the longer control arms ......I figured I’m not in 4wd ( for axel wear) a lot and I feel it will give me a longer life ....if you don’t go off road and your truck is older and your looking for a different look ....go for it homie

Everything is going well no issues.

No I didn't need one. I just had it realigned.

i LOLed

I did torque to the same value.....

It was just fine for 45k miles.

You can try to sell that all day but I ain't buying...45k is still under factory warranty limits...but they won't fix what's broken because it was modified... Let the next joker deal with it right?

Not really lol

@@LonestarGarage truck not the kit

Lol still not really I got it for almost 19k under the sticker.

That's definitely an option. But I was trying to fit a bigger tire and it looks better to me personally.
