Coming from Illinois I must say that these gentlemen have it the best. No rust, I know it’s brand new but in and within 100 miles of Chicago I’d would be all messed up and dented, starting to rust, scratched, and falling apart.

I would like to submit to the author of this video that when using this kit on an F350 you will need a coil compressor kit! You can rent these at several auto parts stores for merely a deposit, which is fully refunded upon returning the kit undamaged. We just installed this kit on my son's F350 and found that the coils were about 1 1/2" too long. Using the compressor solved the minor problem. All other aspects in the video are spot on!

Just finished my install, used your video as a guide. It was an incredible help, thanks. Took me a little longer, since I did it solo, (about 5.5 hours). These 61 year old bones will be hurting tomorrow. lol

Great video!! I used this to put my 2.5" Readylift Leveling kit on my 2019 F250. This informative video really helped alot. Way better than the instructions that come with my kit. Especially when it comes to the brake line relocation bracket!

I have a 2018 F250 that i plan to put the same leveling kit on, and this is far and away the best video i have seen on any leveling kit install. very thorough and easy to understand. Keep up the good work, and the truck looks great!

I would suggest upgrading to a slightly longer/better shock instead of the shock extension brackets.

I love the truck vlogs! It’s looking better with every addition! Can’t wait to see the wheel setup?!

Great video. It's actually the one I used for my 2021 install. However, do not buy the drop down bracket for 2021's. I did and it shifted the diff. more than an inch to passenger side. Need to buy adjustable track arm.

Really? Mine is waiting in the garage to install...

Nice video, but......a couple of things. Make a mention to remove the clip from the radius arm (driver side) that mounts the axle vent tube, also, the nut on the track bar bolt needs to be torqued to 406 lb. ft., and DO NOT torque the bolt end it will twist giving a false torque value, torque the nut, and lastly, once on the ground, loosen the nuts on the radius arm pivots (to release preload from the lift) then torque them to factory specs.

i can not believe that after 25 min you do not show a final stance side shot ... just wasted 25 min of my life

Very nice video did your axel alignment come out good side to side ? Or would you recommend an adjustable trac-bar too ?

This might be redundant to some of you but is the procedure the same for a 2011 F350? This install seems pretty straight forward and curious if there are any big differences?

I know it has been a few years since you placed the lift on truck. Have you had any issues? Any pros or cons? Anything you would have done differently?

Do I have to install a new/factory track bar relocation bracket if I'm taking the leveler kit out? I'm wanting to go back to factory on the front coils.

About four months or five months ago we had something happen to us that we were not aware of because the dealer never mentioned it to me when I bought the truck I have an 2019 F250 we were driving down the highway and experience a hell of a wobble I find out it’s called the death wobble we damn near went off the side of a bridge but because I drive a semi I know how to handle things like that my question is what can I do outside of putting a new steering dampener on like Ford did just to prevent this from happening again. Also what is the point of the leveling kit I don’t quite understand

Hell yeah new wheels and tires!!? Lol and I’m loving my truck man, waiting to get my level!

Hello, thanks for the leveling kit video. Since you used two guys for the install can you tell me how many hours it took for the install. Many thanks, Mike

ok, dumb question. when you put your leveling kit in your truck you used the stock front shocks correct? i'm thinking about replacing mine or upgrading them and just wanna be sure what to order. thank you.

Can I put 37x13.50r24lt on a 2019 f250 xlt 4x4 with no lift? Or just adding the 2” leveler in the front?

What do you do with the brake line on the passenger side? It’s moved to far away from the Clip to use the clip again. How to you keep it from making contact now directly on the frame?

Wheels gone? I’m late I get it. But if you have them I’m interested. I’m in McKinney

Now off to the front end shop. Pretty sure the camber, caster and toe are out of whack..

I am putting the lift on but how did you adjust your headlights. They will now be 2.5 inches higher than factory and at the recommended 25ft for light alignment it will be much higher that it should be.

New subscriber, I appreciate the video and looking forward to following your channel. I just purchased a 2018 F350 XLT and wanting to put a leveling kit. Do you have an idea as to how much the installation of the kit might run? Thanks!

Could you tell a difference in the ride after the lift was installed?

Just followed your video to install this level kit yesterday. Also threw in some 2 degree caster shims. Were you able to get your steering wheel perfectly straight? Every time I adjust it, it is just slightly off to the right or left. Not a big deal but I like my stuff perfect

Question I have a 2017 F-250 crew cab have the plow package like to know if I newd a leveling kit it looks pretty level but not sure thanks

What website did you get the lift from ? & what did you actually got ?

After the front level kit installed. Do you do anything ti to the back of the truck? I pull a trailer with my 19' f250. Don't like the squat look. Anything to help the back. Thanks

Hell yea!

What size tires did you have when you got the level done??

You describe in the video using "ultra lock nuts" , however I can't find any information on the the proper way to install these nuts, much less the nuts on the web. Hearing protection is a good idea around impact wrenches, hearing loss is over time and you don't realize it until your 50 yr old.... but too late.

did you ever installed your 37s? link to video?

I just got a 2019 F-350 and am going to install the Readylift 2.5 level kit in a month or two with the Billstein shocks and new coil springs on front instead of the shock extensions and spacers.
