@JORDAN MCCOY, yes, it has the block on the rear from the factory!

KickinKawi96 says:

Chris idk if you know this but im looking to get a 3″ leveling body lift
for my 1999 f150. It includes 2 torsion keys that allow me to go up 3″ in
the front and 3″ blocks in the rear. I know i can do this myself because
its not a hard process but my question is with the 3″ blocks for the rear,
will i need new shocks? Because im worried the taller blocks will extend
all of my travel in my shocks. What are your thoughts and opinions. 

John Hunter says:

you can do this to a 2wd right

Ryan Martin says:

How much will adding a block lift my back end? 

Kent Willey says:

I didn’t even know you could do that. I’ve always hated the lower in front
look of my 2001 Edge, so many thanks for the excellent video!

Ryan Martin says:

Thanks for answering all my question man I appreciate it,still learning. So
is there a cheap easy way for me to get even more height anywhere on else??
Like lift the back end up without spending a lot of money or time? If so
how cheap/easy is it?

Richard Butkiss says:

I feel sorry for your upper ball joints.

Marshall G says:

I dont know if thats enough for 33’s, i got a 3 inch lift in the front and
it can rub sometimes. But get 33’s they rock!

Billy Pate says:

bad jack to risk your life?

Scott Nicholson says:

Hey Chris, would I be safe doing this on my body lifted truck? I figure
this would level it out pretty well.

Tyler Light says:

It’s a truck, not a car

Darian F says:

cz joints? lol

Nick Runge says:

does it do any damage to any other suspension components?

Doof3rproductions says:

Can you send me the link to that front light bar thing. please, thanks!

Ryan Martin says:

I’m assuming if my camber is off they will tell me when I get my tires
aligned here n a few months? I don’t notice a pull or anything like that.
It doesn’t seem to ride any different and I cranked em prolly ten times
each. Also I have the same truck as u, I noticed my passenger side also sat
almost a half inch higher than my driver side did. But when I cranked them
up I set them both at almost the exact same height. Is that an issue? Why
is that side higher? Do I need to turn the bolt on the passenger side a
little more so it sits a touch higher or does it really not matter? I can’t
imagine it could make a difference…

Ryan Martin says:

And also my tires only have a little more life left anyway, or at least my
front ones, maybe a few more months. Is it worth getting a alignment and
paying that money when I will be getting new tires before winter anyway? Or
does that lift really throw things off where it would cause serious damage
to the tires that quickly?

Diesel Freak says:

Change the t bar, nothing wrong with that. It just makes to front really
rough.

William Rogers says:

I just done this to my ranger. and I had 33’s tsl’s. And now I have 35’s
swmpers and the T-bars made a huge difference.

Ryan Martin says:

Thanks for the help! So essentially those t bar bolts will screw in all the
way? I understand that’s a bad idea, mine still stick out almost an inch
after raising mine but you could screw those bolts in all the way and
probably get a lot more height out of it?

iceman5353 says:

How is your allignment, any tire wear.

krazykayaker96 says:

How is it now? Everything still good?

SuperTrapper101 says:

What if you tighten it more then 3 times?

quinnj36 says:

Is this a 4×4 or a 2wd?

Hitler, Adolf says:

Trucks are lifted in the back for the anticipation of a load on the bed.
When you put a load now the leveling will be gone. Also, t bar lifts are
ghetto and make for a stiffer ride. If you are gonna lift your truck go for
a suspension lift that account for the change in the driveshaft angle. BTW
that would make your positive camber even worse. Not trying to talk shit
just saying.

2fckineazy says:

If a guy was wanting to LOWER his ’98 Ranger using this method, Could he
match the front by removing a leaf spring (or two) outta the bundle in the
rear. “im sure there is a comment like this already, if thats the case just
ignore” Great Video btw Subbed

Ryan Martin says:

How much of an angle on those joints is too much Chris? I turned mine about
7 times each got me a little over an inch lift. I can see a angle for sure,
it’s a little more of an angle than what u show after adjusting yours.
Thanks!
