Hi Everyone,

I recently installed a leveling kit (longer struts) and new rear shocks on my 04 F150 (non-heritage). The truck is at 102k miles.

The control arms, end link, etc. are all original and starting to squeak a ton. I am going to buy new control arms, tie rods, and end link.

My question: With a leveling kit, can I buy OEM spec control arms, tie rods, and end links? Or do I need to get different sizes since the front end is now 2.5in taller than stock?

Thanks!

 

I have a similar leveling kit on my 04 XLT 4wd and the stock ones work on mine. I just replaced the control arms and the ball joints with OEM, today in fact, and they work fine

 

Okay, thanks!

 

Yes, some setup, and I replaced alm suspension components a few months ago with OEM, and no problems.
