    Thank you guys for posting this video!. I inherited my grandpa's 96 f150 2wd and have been looking for good examples of leveling these trucks. We intend to fully restore our truck so keep the videos coming please!

      That's pretty cool! I inherited my grandpas 92 f150 2wd and I'm doing the same thing. I was able to figure out everything until I got to the spacer for the shock, and so here I am lol.

    Thank you for the video. Please share what size tire and rim that you have on your truck? Do your rims have an offset?

    • @ChristmanGarage
      @ChristmanGarage  Рік тому

      15" x 10" rims 275/60 r15 tires
      I have never measured the offset so I'm not sure about that if I had to make a guess they are probably about 4" offset.

    So I’ve been wanting to buy some 2-3in blocks. Most of the ones I’ve seen say that they won’t work on xl/xlt, ext cabs models. I’m assuming it’s all the same front suspension. Am I missing something?

    • @ChristmanGarage
      @ChristmanGarage  Рік тому

      Yeah the cab shouldn’t make any difference that’s unusual

  • @grandgaming_5483
    @grandgaming_5483 2 роки тому

    Just curious, did you absolutely need to replace the back shocks after the 1-inch block? Also how did the camber turn out in the end?

    • @ChristmanGarage
      @ChristmanGarage  2 роки тому +1

      I think the old shocks would have been long enough but we replaced on them because we had the other ones laying around and they were in better shape. Now for the camber question we put the largest degree bushing we could find in the top ball joint and actually had to grind some off the top of the spindle for clearance when it turned. The final readings are 1/2 degree positive on both sides. That is not ideal and I would have loved to get a tiny bit of negative camber in it but that is the limitations of the stock suspension. We have a plan to lower the inner pivot points on the swing arms to reduce that but haven’t had a chance to get that done yet. (Planing on shooting a video on that as well👍) he has put about 3,000 miles on it since the lift and the tires are wearing good with no issues so I’m not terribly concerned about the camber so far.
      Thanks for the comment👍

      The older Fords don’t have adjustable ball joints just solid king pins, if you can find an alignment shop that can work with these trucks you would probably be good.👍

      Yep sure did. Had my truck in for another minor problem but knew once in a while hitting a bump would make the front end shutter. After explaining the problem to the mechanic shop they said they knew what the problem was the ball joints. Like an idiot, I said go ahead and repair it thinking the cost would be 7-800 they fixed it and called me to pick it up and handed me a bill for 1400. I had no choice but to pay for it. Lesson learned.
