Default Installing level kit 2011 FX4

Hey guys, I'm finally going to put the level kit on my 2011 FX4. I have the Daystar 2" kit. I'm curious about any sticking points or unforeseen difficult parts of the project I could look forward to seeing during installation.

Disconnect the battery to save the EPAS!

Extra set of hands for reinstalling the struts. It's a pain!

I saw that this was possible but in your experience it's absolutely necessary?

It had to be done for the kit to fit! I'm getting ready to put a 2.5 spacer on so I will need new strut mounts since I cut the bolts on the old. Unless I can get the adapters off then I can reuse them

Alright thanks for the info. Are you going from a 2" to 2.5"

Yes, I put an iron bull front bumper on and its a little to much rake now. It was just right for me before with the slightest amount of rake

It should be a fairly easy install, follow instructions and start in the morning to give yourself plenty of time.
