I am wanting to get a coil spacer for the front of my 2001 F-150 Supercab 2wd. I have a 3" spindle lift on there now and i added a 3" block to the back, so it still has that factory rake.

My main question is how hard is it to install a set of these things? I don't have any air tools, but I have a friend who does and also has a lift. Is this something I can accomplish myself?

I know i gotta get a alignment after i do it, but other than that and the cost of the spacers it will be pretty cheap.

 

you can do it your self with a jack, jackstands, and some hand tools

you can get a 1.5" spacer from SKG motorsports for $40

 

Yeah, you basically remove the coilsprings, install the spacers on them and reinstall them. You may or may not need adjustable camber bolts to get your alinment correct so you might as well install them while you are at it. They are around $40 at most parts stores.

 

wandell can you elaborate on the adjustable camber bolts.

what are they? what do they do? do you have any pics?

thanks. I really want to get a 1.5" spacer to fix that rake. its driving me crazy. and now that I know i can do it myself and just have to pay to get it aligned after im wanting it more and more

 

THe adjustable camber bolts are basically just bolts with an adjustment cam on the end that replace the bolts in your A-arms. THey just give you more adjustment for camber. If you do a search at some of the big parts store's websites they will probably have pics.

 

i just bought a daystar 1.5" spacer kit. and i know i have to get an alignment afterwards, but my dad is telling me that the shops wont do it without replacing my upper and lower ball joints. is this true?

 

That should have nothing to do with it. Now, ball joints are high wear items on our trucks. Are yours worn out? If they are, they need to be replaced.
