Upper control arm boots shot after leveling kit
Get the Bilstein 5100s. They are replacement front struts. They will make the truck ride a LOT better. They achieve lift by having grooves machined into the body of the strut. There's a pair with two grooves and three groves. The 2 grooved set has 0" of lift and +2" of lift and the one with three grooves has 0" of lift, 1" of lift, and 2" of lift. I'd get those and throw them on 2" of lift and call it a day. Also you'll re use the stock coils so you don't have to worry about that. I had them on my truck and they are a great shock for the money.
I don't use 4wd often but when I do it is flat out abuse. Im not taking chances... I mean we all know your KR only is in 4wd when you hit those pesky curbs at the mall
Covered under warranty
Well the new upper control arms went on today under warranty, thanks Ford, so that problem is solved. Hopefully this is the last time I'll see any more torn boots.
