Hi everyone, CARiD is here with another episode of our F150 project build! In this video we're going to show you how to install a 6" suspension lift kit by Pro Comp and large off-road tires on a late model Ford F150!
Lift kit is probably one of the most favorite mods of all truck fans and our team was very excited about this installation to say the least. While it's not a simple bolt-on like the ones you've seen in the previous episodes of our video blog, the installation of a lift kit also requires another pair of hands, so our product professor Richard stopped by to assist our host Greg with this installation.
Alright, now lay back and hit the Play button!

What headlights did y'all go with?

I think Anzo projector lights

That's right, we used Anzo projector headlights on our F150 truck as they provide a pretty good visibility and look absolutely gorgeous in black color. The installation was pretty much straight forward and it wasn't really different from the installation of a stock halogen headlight unit. The result turned out to be really impressive:

P.S. there newer version of these headlights with a switchback turn signal is already available! It makes the entire LED bar blink amber with your turn signal.

The top picture doesn't look like Anzos as there is no projector shown in the lower spot and something LED in place of the blinker...

Totemus, thanks a lot for the headsup! The ones with LEDs are actually Winjet, we tried them on to compare and did a couple of shots for our product gallery! More information about them is coming soon! By the way Winjet headlights are available on our site here: Winjet® - Black U-Bar Projector LED Headlights

How's it going everyone, a quick update on topic. While the Lift Kit installation video shows the whole process in the smallest details, we decided to compose a written summary of our experiences that would give you a couple of more useful tips and show what else should be taken care of to perform the installation properly. Follow to our website to read them!

Since we're done with the installation of performance bolt-ons on our F150 project truck we decided that it's time to take care about the stopping power and install a set of Drilled and Slotted brake rotors by StopTech. It's a perfect upgrade in case you would like to bring the performance of your truck to the new level or simply perform a scheduled brake replacement. Plus, if you decide to tow with your rig, more stopping power will never hurt!

Effective heat dissipation is the main benefit of drilled and slotted rotors. Drilled holes and vanes allow water and gases to disappear and help to cool down the brakes more efficiently, which is exactly what we need for our Project F150!

Watch Greg from CARiD.com show you the step by step process of how easy is it to get brake rotors installed. These StopTech rotors are the perfect addition to any vehicle and can be installed in your home garage with basic hand tools.

Hi everyone, today we would like to talk about the safety of the lift kits, because this important element is often being overlooked.
As you know lift kits change geometry of the suspension which is reflected in how your truck handles and behaves on the road. It also means that not all lift kits are equal in terms of safety and handling characteristics, because the center of masses is raised. Not all of the lift kit manufacturers would tell you if their lift solution will maintain normal suspension operation, but for our project truck we decided to pick one that would be reliable and absolutely safe to use. Pro Comp Stage1 6" lift kit happens to be one of such kits and unlike many other brands Pro Comp actually tests their kits and makes sure they correspond with current safety standard FMVSS 126.

Their kit for 2015&UP F150 received certification that it meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 126 (FMVSS 126). FMVSS 126 requires the successful operation of electronic stability control (ESC) on all new vehicles under 10,000 pounds GVW. In order to demonstrate that Pro Comp’s suspension system did not negatively affect these systems on the new Ford pickup, Pro Comp had tests performed on an F-150 outfitted with their 6” Stage I suspension, 35-inch Pro Comp Xtreme MT/2 tires mounted on 20-inch Phantom Pro Comp Alloy wheels
