FORD F150 LEVELING KIT INSTALL TRANSCRIPT
Hi folks, Tim here Supreme Suspensions.
For over thirty years, the Ford F-series has been the best-selling vehicle line in North America, and by a pretty good stretch. For 2015, the F150 was redesigned with a beefed up chassis and an all-aluminum body, which is a first in the full-size pickup truck market.
We have such a model with us today, fresh out of the showroom, powered by a 2.7 liter Eco Boost V6. While that may seem small for a full-size pickup truck, what it lacks in displacement it picks up in a couple turbo chargers to pump up 325 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of torque.
We really like this new F-150 for its versatility, its efficiency, and it’s very comfortable. We are a suspensions company and we think it sits a little bit low in the front, so we’re going to take it over to our friends at Mod Auto in La Habra, CA to install a Supreme Suspensions front leveling kit.
Let’s head into the shop!
2015 FORD F150 LEVELING KIT INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Once you get the truck in the air, drop the front wheels.
Step 2
Start by pulling the brake line and abs wiring brackets from the steering knuckle so you’ll have some slack later.
Step 3
Then remove the outer tie rod nut.
Step 4
Disconnect the sway bar link.
Step 5
Remove the upper ball joint nut. If you have to persuade the ball joint loose, make sure you hit the side and not the threads.
Step 6
Remove the lover strut mounting bolts. Earlier models may have a single bolt through the lower bushing.
Step 7
Undo the three nuts from the top of the strut tower. They can be a little tricky to get at.
Step 8
Now you can wiggle the strut lose. On the bench, install the spacer on top of the strut and attach it with the provided nuts.
Step 9
From here, installation is reverse of the removal.
Alright we pulled the truck back the folks over at Mod Auto did a great job installing it and very accommodating to us. We are very happy with the way it turned out. It’s nice and level, it’s looking mean, and I can’t wait to go play with it!
