Last week when I was looking to buy the autospring 2" leveling kit I found a post on google.com somehow is the question that showed detailed step by step pics on a 2004-2008 red ford f150. It was some guy posting for his buddy who put the instructions and pics up. I cant find it anywhere has anyone seen this thread???

thanks,
john

Yep that the one thanks a ton. I am hoping it will be in by this weekend so I can install it.

 

Its not tough at all and makes a huge difference. Just take your time.

 

I have read a lot about something spinning when trying to tighten it back up forgot which part it was already cause im so excited to get it in the mail haha it feels like Xmas. How do you get around that part spinning? Looks like I will finally have to take some pics of my truck before and after the install shes a virgin to the camera hopefully shes a natural in front of it haha.

Thanks a ton for your help youll have to tell me what you think of the before and after pics

 

It is the swaybar nut You just put visegrips on the very end and tighen with 18 mm wrench till tight

 

I used vice grips on the center of mine...but yeah, it's the sway bar endlink that spins


have fun, and of course make sure to put up pics of the truck afterwards.

 

Going to be installing my leveling kit tomorrow after work and have one last question. How did you guys torque the lower strut bolt to 225 ft lbs? Mine only goes to 150 and i cant find anything in my small town that goes up to 225.

 

Try a tool rental. My 1/2" torque wrench goes to 250 lb. ft.

 

I luckily have a 250 ft-lb wrench

I would recommend using star torque...just keep going until you see stars that is

 

I tried Oriley, Napa, Autozone and every other place in town with no luck. My warranty on my truck just ended so maybe I will use the star technique and then have the ford dealership torque them to 225 when i get it aligned.

 

I used the one from Partsource maybe do you have one in the states
