2004 f150 leveling problems
I installed the Daystar leveling kit on my 04 f150 and the control arms are touching the springs does anybody know of any alternatives to leveling the front end? I didnt feel to good about leaving it in so now my truck has that damned high *** look again is there any place or kits that compensate for this by installing bigger beefier control arms? Im curious to know if 33s will fit without a leveing kit as well, any feedback would be appreciated

I guess you could try and raise the torsion bars, I found this on ebay that installs a little different than the Daystar : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ayphotohosting Good luck

it should only hit when the suspension drops all the way out...to fix this put limit straps on...then it cant hit it.
If you do not put the straps on you will run into issues down the line if you are hard on the truck and the front wheels are dropping out all hte way often...you will eventually run into a broken upper bacll joint and a tire into your fender...
Beefier arms arent going to do a thing...the spindles needs to be taller so it doesnt come down and hit the coilover.
The right way to fix it is to buy the aftermarket coilover which uses a smaller diameter coil and the arm will not hit it PLUS uses limit straps to keep the shock from being pulled apart.
I find it hard to believe that your daystar kit hits at ride height...
I made my own and it is a 2 inch billet spacer mounted on top of the coilover and it hits only when I hit somehting big at speed to get the front tires almost off the ground.
LImit straps fixed that...
