Hey Houston members,

I just came up on a good deal for 6" suspension lift that I'd like to put on my '11 FX2. Instead of paying someone to do it entirely and me not gain any kind of knowledge into suspension (I'm a total newb), I would prefer to pay someone to help me and give me some guidance! It can be done at your place or mine, doesn't matter. I don't have all of the tools required, so that might be an issue. I am a Houston firefighter, so I have plenty of off time on the weekends or weekdays. I live in Bellaire near the Galleria. Shoot me an e-mail at HOOPSboy7@gmail.com or send me a PM.

Thanks

 

How soon are you wanting to do it? I'm right near you off so rice an westpark

 

I'm buying the lift in the next week, but I'm in no rush to put it on. Basically at your earliest convenience. You must live in those apartments near Sam's Club? E-mail me and we can talk.

 

Im a ASE Master technician in DFW if you want to make a little trip up here

 

Hey Pat,

I have family DFW that I visit a few times a year. How long do you think it would take to put on?

 

full day probably, you have a link to the instructions of what needs to be done?

 

The link to the PDF download for instructions is on this page towards the bottom:

I can e-mail you the PDF if you send me an e-mail at HOOPSboy7@gmail.com

Thanks.

 

they dont have anything listed for the 09-11 trucks on 2wd

 

he's buying a 4wd kit, i told him in his other post it will not work. not sure if he has seen it yet.

 

Thanks for the heads up 06yz250f. In response to what you told me, these are the exact words from the seller:

"The 04-08 models had different mounting styles for the hub assymbles. The 2009- current models have the same style hubs on 2 & 4wd models. No worries there"

 

the seller will tell you what you want to hear.

you need to call the manufacturer and ask if they have anything that fits your truck, or if you could bolt on an older kit etc

 

Patman,

That's the problem. I called Rough Country directly and they couldn't tell me anything. The seller said he called a friend of his at Pro Comp who told him that it will not be a problem if he added a spacer inside the coilover (not sure of the technical name). I was discouraged when Rough Country, the manufacturer of the kit, couldn't even tell me about it's own product.

 

I wouldn't trust someone off clist that says his friend says it'll work.

Take a front hub cap off and if you have a spindle then it will not work.

Also I'm near where your talking about by off glenmont

 

I am in Katy. Let me know if you need help getting this install lined up. Check out my ad on CL "Lift Kit Installations" for more of my info.

I flipped through the RC instructions. Other than the hub assembly possibly not being compatible, I can't see any reason why this 4wd kit would not work on a 2wd. You could easily test this before going too far into the installation; i.e., remove the hub and test fit on the new spindle before removing anything on your truck.

I install a lot of RC products. They make nice stuff overall, and have great prices.
Are you buying the kit new or used?
I might be able to beat the deal you are getting on the kit...let me know if you want a quote from me.
