Putting my leveling kit on and holy crap this is not goin easy! Had to drop the lower control arm and undo everythin! Kinda pissed at hbs for the crappy instructions and I guess the a arms are different than the year model in the I instructions. Pain in the ***.

 

I feel your pain. With my readylift leveling kit passenger side took me 40 min and the drivers side took almost 3 hrs. I ended up taking everything apart and having to compress the spring.

 

Dude it sucked so bad! I wasn't expecting it to be that bad... I'm really disappointed in hbs...

 

Less than 5000km and I'm already due for a ball joint with my level

 

Upper or lower?

 

Why is that? Just got my f 150 so I don't know much about leveling kits on them, but I had one on my last truck for over 3 years and I never had any problems with the ball joints

 

I feel your pain. I was lucky and had 2 large jacks to squeeze everything back in. Was much harder than I was led to believe. It was frustraing to say the least. I also did the HBS 2", but I lost the directions, so I followed a youtube video. Still sucked.

 

Yah I attempted to do my austosprings myself after failing twice I gave up and took it to an offroad shop to do it

 

Yeah the second side went super easy and we didn't even have to undo the upper ball joint. The strut mount on the lower a arm is what screws everything up

 

I was almost to that point last night!
