I doubt you’ll see this seeing’s how it’s been years, but I was curious if your front springs flexed forwards a little bit when in and if you have any problems with putting the front shock in with the 6 inch? Currently putting my lift on now and the springs rub the front quad shock
@Bearbait0110 ай бұрын
Did you take the sway bar off? My shocks do not rub but I didn't put both in. I don't remember if I have the front of back one in but I'm sure this video shows. Lmk if u need more help. Message me on Instagram.

It takes a while for new coil springs to settle, you will lose some height. It will also change some after an alignment. I install adjustable alignment bushings on the upper ball joint while I'm under there to save time at the alignment shop. Also, long radius arms are worth the money if you can swing it in the future.

Rough Country has sold thousands of these kits, and they all fit without drilling. The passenger pivot bracket is a weldment, and when removed from the welding jig, springs open slightly. Use a large C clamp,, alignment bar to get all the bolts in.. if you resort to drilling, you have created yourself a safety concern, in that the bolts dont fit the bracket, and or the crossmember holes. It thats the case you need to drill larger holes, to fit larger bolts, done one at a time, and installed before the next one
@Bearbait01 Жыл бұрын
If that was the case then the instuctions would have said that. Rough country customer support would have told me that over the phone. They didn't. They have no clue how their kits work.
@stevecarlisle3323 Жыл бұрын
@@Bearbait01 Rough Country likely assumes that if you spend the money on the kit, you have a reasonable mechanical skill level to think the install through. I dont see anywhere in the instructions say you may have to align holes by drilling out. If you are happy that the brackets may loosen up due to sloppy holes, then have at it 😣

You seem to be Bitching and Complaining, your words, not mine, that the Pivot brackets, don,t line up perfectly, but using your limited experience you just clamped down on the bracket and it went in. Anyways, my comments were not holy directed at you, but others who have needlessly drilled the brackets, at the cost of it being possible too loosen up. My logic is based on 40 years of being a licenced mechanic .

What are your measurements to the bottom of the fender? I have a f150 we did the 6 inch rough country and we did the add a leaf in the back that it came with them kept the factory blocks as well then the front was normal installation and height. I'm sitting 40 and a quarter in the front and 43 in the back. Is that cause the rough add a leaf it came with?
@Bearbait013 жыл бұрын
If you have instagram you can send me a message and I'd be able to give you more info. "Bearbait01official". It is typical for the rear to sit 2" higher than the front. My f150 does. The Bronco doesn't appear to but I haven't measured it.

@@mayanaztec6440 You brought the "fire" with your irrelevant comment. You made the comment just to get this type of reaction. Be honest, you weren't trying to be kind when you made it. As for the election, I've seen the proof. Of fraud. There is tons of it and if you're not able to see that then maybe you're looking in the wrong places. It's not a cult, im not out here calling the democrats a cult, it's not a cult. As for racism, that died decades ago yet for some reason the democrats love to bring it up and use it for political gain, tricking people into thinking it's relevant, thus making it relevant again. Calling Trump's rallys "Klan rallys" and his supporters "cultists" and "white supremacists" is not only wrong, but in bad taste and only serves one purpose. Division. The same as your original comment does. Whether you want to admit it or even recognize it, there is currently only one party spewing hate. The democrats. Just like they have done for hundreds of years whenever they feel attacked they go to racism. Republicans don't do that. The democrats created the Klan, the democrats killed MLK and JFK and now are demonizing the president who has done more in 4 years for minority people than the democrats ever have. There's a reason they are so concerned about how black people vote. There's a reason why they tell black people that they "can't vote for Trump" it's about control. They were losing control of their favorite voter block, that's why the media gave BLM a pass on everything they destroyed over the summer. "Mostly peaceful protests" as the city is literally burning, as people are being killed and raped in CHOP, CHAZ. All for "equality" they "deserve to have their own city's" No, that is putting them in a box. You don't put something in a box unless you intend to only use it when it's convenient for you. Have a good day. Signed, - A Trump Cultist. (And it's no wonder why the democrats want amnesty and citizenship for tens of thousands of illegal immigrants, they need the votes.) That's why they had to cheat so damn hard in this election and they know that amnesty will grant them absolute power forever. It's a power move, they don't give a damn about you. If they cared about the people they represent, they wouldn't allow big tech to silence their opposition. It's about Control.
