I am getting worried all the problems people have said they have. Axel problems, tcs problems. I am really starting to doubt whether I want to even deal with the problems. Was it the front u- joints or actualy axel from the transfer case? Did Ford cover this under warranty or tell you tough luck?

Is this even worth it to do this?

it was the actual shaft from the transfer case. Due Tu the angle its put after the leveling kit, but honestly it seems like it won't be happening again. I think it was more because of how much I off-road. I been off-road again and no problems at all. I wouldn't worry about it.

Yes Ford did cover it! It is worth it if You want bigger tires, If you're keeping the stock ones then its not something you need, but it really looks nice leveled.. I wouldn't worry about it. I mean if **** hits the fan just take them off (easy ) and take it to Ford.
