    This guy should watch more American Trucks videos because I just watched the two inch spacer video installation where that guy talked about having to knock out those studs in order to remove the shock. 😂

    For the love of god people.. do not losen the lower control arm nuts. It will cost you $200... take off the 13mm nut and pull the cv out. Super easy and then you’ll have all the play in the world! The reason it is going to cost you, is because when you go in for an alignment you’re gonna have to buy camber adjustment hardware. $60 a side and they’re gonna charge you an hour to put them on. ALSO... be VERY careful with the vacuum lines to the 4x4 actuators. They sit right on top of the strut tower and are very brittle, if you crack one it will try to engage your 4x4 while you’re driving and grind the gears on your cv shaft.

      They look terrible in the video since the suspension is at 'full droop'- with the truck on the ground and the suspension loaded up, they are fine. Ultimately replacing them is never a bad idea, especially if you plan on thrashing your truck off road but for the purposes of this video we just wanted to showcase the coilover install. -Justin

    Are you able to put a spacer on top of the strut? If so what type of spacer would fit? Also my reservoir is coming out of the strut and 90’s left how do I make it go straight down?

    Just ordered a set of 2.5 for my f150. I’m not wanting to do a lift, I was wondering is adjusting coil over to 1” then using a 1.5” spacer to achieve 2.5” total. I got upgraded UCA and CV axles to accommodate more angle. Is it worth it for the .5”? I’m wanting just a tad more clearance on full lock.

    I have the 2.5 fox shocks installed in my f150, but for some reason I don’t think the guys installed them right, I didn’t know much once I started seeing their other trucks… the way the grease looks on the shocks, to me it looks kind of sloppy, I’ve gone back to the shop because the shocks are squeaking to much, but the keep add more grease.. they said they contact fox but they haven’t contact me..

      Given you have an 2018, the crash bars will limit your tire and offset. With this suspension you could get away with a 295/65r__ which is a 35x11, as long as you don't get too carried away with your offset. -Justin

      and if I can and do what are the positives and negatives?

    • @americantrucks
      @americantrucks  Před 3 lety

      You can definitely use a smaller wheel, as wheel has no affect on tire fitment in the wheel well. What I mean is a 35x12.5 will always be a 35x12.5, doesn't matter if its around a 17" wheel, 20" wheel or 24" wheel.
      As far as your setup, it really boils down to your offset and your willingness or not to trim. If you wanted to keep things simple you could put a 295/65r20 on your stock wheels which would be a 35x11.5 or you could always go with an aftermarket wheel with a 33x12.5 without issue as long as your offset doesn't get too wild. -Justin
