I have a 2012 F150 fx4 w/ a 8" Full throttle suspension lift and just realized both my front struts are broken. I haven't went off road or done anything extreme for this to happen. Anyone else have this problem?

Pictures are sideways.

I'm surprised the front is still supported. Are those OEM struts? The only thing that may have attributed to that is if the struts were tightened in a bind.

Yea that is what I was thinking. Yes they are oem struts. Know of any good aftermarket struts?

whoa so you have an 8 inch spacer ontop of your strut ? thats a alot of pressure no ?

JPWilliams338

Yea from what I understand its a spacer. I'm probably just going to go with the fts coilover.

heydustin

you will be better off going that way

Glad I didn't buy this kit. !! I'd get a coil over either made or for and 8" lift bro. How's te rest of the kit dependability wise?

Lot of pressure man... I've never heard of a 8" strut spacer.. If you have one then it looks like its putting lots of stress on your struts.. Coil overs would work best for you and remove that dangerous strut spacer

It actually rode really smooth at first, maybe even better than the 6" Fabtech I had before.All of the parts from the kit have held up well. But i'm am going to go with the coil overs with the reservoir so it will ride better and look good too. i'll post a picture once complete.
