Bigpotato.. thanks for the information... Of course we started with the drivers side.. I guess if it harder.. it was better to stop there.. rather than to get the other side in.. and on the drivers side.. haha..

I tried to install a leveling kit today on my 2011 F150 but was not able to get the tie rod to let loose from the steering knuckle. I taped on it with a hammer but no luck. Also. do I need to remove the lower strut bolt or can I install without removing the strut completely? I was able to pull the strut out and install the leveling kit but was not able to put it back in due to the additional height would not clear.
Any help is appreciated.

I live in Addison, and I've installed two of these kits already. Unfortunately I am in North Carolina for the balance of October and most of November. I'll be back in Dallas on the 1st of December. If you need help installing this kit and haven't gotten to success by then I'll be more than happy to help you out; if you can wait that long. I love to wrench on trucks and jeeps so a level is no big deal to me. I worked on Hummers and 5tons for my first tour in the Marines.
However, if you cannot wait, the install instructions on ZONE's website helped me know what to do when I ran into an issue that made me cuss my head off.
Let me know. my mobile is 469-964-3047 i'll be available until the 30th after that I won't have my cell until the 19th of November.
Good luck,
Russ

the aluminum lower control arm are on 04-08 nothing to do with 2wd, the 09-up have steel lower control arm
i install daystar 1" this week end and it was a pain to the strut back in...cant imagine how hard on 2.5" kit
the way i did it i completly remove the lower strut bolt and inserted the top of the strut into the bucket first and then pry the bottom back into place...for some reason driver side was more difficult then passenger..
