I put in a leveling kit yesterday in my 2011 f150. Everything went okay however my upper ball joint was spinning freely when I tried to remove the nut. I got the nut off but destroyed most of the nylock in the nut during the process. I torqued the nut to specs and applied thread lock, should I order a new nut from the dealer or will the loctite be sufficient? The nut didn't take nearly as much force to reinstall. Thanks.

 

mine did the same thing and its 2014 with 20 thousand on it so i just burnd the nylon off the nut and it came right off i just put the nut back on it has been good ever since i drove the truck for a bit then went over all the nuts to see if they loosened a bit but there all snug you should be fine

 

Yea I needed heat as well. I'll keep an eye on it thanks for the advice.

 

Loctite will be sufficient. I think in Ford's procedure it even says Loctite will be sufficient if reusing old nut.

 

i have a 2inch leveling kit in my 2014 f150 what should i put in the rear i tow a boat and atvs etc she sags pretty good can i upgrade the shocks or put in a 1 inch block if any one could lp me out thanks

 

Shocks wont keep the back from sagging. A block will help, AAL will help more, air bags will help best!
