I HAVE A 2001 SCREW WITH A 6IN FABTECH AND 35X14.50'S I HAVE DONE SOME MINER TRIMMING BUT THE TIRES STILL RUB A LITTLE BIT IN THE FENDER WELLS WHEN THE SUSPENSION IS FLEXED IN A TURN. I AM THINKING ABOUT PUTTING A 3IN BODY LIFT ON IT. I HAVE PUT THESE ON RANGERS BEFORE BUT NEVER ON A FULL SIZE AND I HAVE HEARD THAT ON THE SCREW IT IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT ONES TO DO. IF ANYONE HAS DONE THESE TELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED (YOU KNOW THE GREMLINS) AND HOW LONG IT TOOK. THANKS.

i know they are pretty hard on our trucks but dont know too much about it. that hood looks awesome what kind is it?

 

Its A Ram Air 2. I Got It From Carhoods.com. That Was The Only Company I Could Find That Made One Like This For Our Trucks

 

Sweet Screw! A body lift is not that hard to install, but it is time consuming, tedious work. Just get the Performance Accessories kit and read and reread the directions. Also, wash all the dirt out from underneath your truck and start spraying all the body mount bolts with penetrating oil a few days before doing the lift.

 

they are most difficult on the newer f150's. its just alot of small tedious things, like wandell said.

 

Thanks for the compliment, are there any special tools needed for this one, how long did it take you to do yours, and can you still put a drop hitch on to pull a trailer with?

 

yea it just moves the body nothin else. the receiver should stay in the same spot

 

They aren't that hard to install. I installed 2 of them, one on a 2000 SCAB and one on my 03 Screw. I have pics of the install process in my gallery.

A set of air tools would be helpful, but not necessary. The most difficult part is usually getting the bed bolts out. Ford uses some kind of special Lock Tight on them. We had to grind them off on the first BL, but were able to heat the nuts with a welder on the second BL... That together with an impact wrench and they came out like butter.

You will need a t-47 Torx bit I think, most people don't have these laying around ($3-$5) at any autoparts store. I would buy a couple of them in case you snap one. I would also pick up the size above that one too... Don't open them though because you can always return them if you don't use them. I snapped 1 or 2 of them though between both lifts.

If you have any problems, just post them in this forum. Everyone here is very helpful. Nice truck BTW...

 

I agree.

Ya I have installed them on rangers before so I have the torx bits already I just wasnt for sure about the drop hitch I have never had one but I know the bumper wont be of use for towing afterwards. One last question how long did it take you to do it, I have never done one on a truck this size so do you think I can do it over a weakend?

p.s. thanks again for the compliments.

 

You should be able to KO it in a weekend. You should get at least one other buddy helping you though. First one took me about 18 hours, that was with new shocks too but we were taking our time. That was on a Scab. The 2nd time around on my Screw took me about 12 hours (again with new shocks). You don't need to pull the radiator, you can use tin snips on the fan shroud and work around it. Tight but managable. It'll save you some time.

 

Mine took me a weekend to install it but I was working by myself most of the time.

 

Sweet thanks, thats all I needed to know.

 

Same goes for you man, thanks, you guys rock
