X3, most of their kits come with everything you need(as long as you give the proper/right specs).

Performance Accessories. Properly installed, your truck will feel no different than it does now. Bigger tires may dog you down some, but the PA kit is just as safe as the stock stance.

ok, so for those of you that have one on the newer 150's, maybe you can clarify the myth of them..... are they really that much harder to install than other vehicles?

i don't own a newer F-150, however, from what i have heard, you have to replace all the body bushings in addition to the body bolts and putting in the spacer blocks. all of that involves the usual back seat removal, and kick panel removal. it's not that "hard" per se, but manual, wrench turning intense labor.

the newer body styles a body lift is time consuming but not that hard. its a series of many small easy steps that lead up to one long but not to difficult job. itll take you a good day to do the install
