Hey all,

Finally got my Autospring kit delivered. Seems relatively straight forward except suspension components arent my cup-of-tea. Anybody have any pics with the install or can help with pics of the suspension parts so I can correctly identify the parts involved so I dont screw anything up? My vehicle is an 04' F150. Thanks.

And wouldit be recommended to perhaps rent or borrow the tool to separate the ball joint. Instructions say just tap with a hammer but I'm a little unsure about that. Any help with install woud be appreciated.

 

dont take the ball joint out, just take off the tie rod end from the knuckle to get the strut out.

just slam the hammer on the knuckle a couple times to get it to pop out of the bore its in

 

thanks, and my ridiculous computer finally stop freezing on the search function, i found the install guide on this forum as a sticky. thanks. though i'm sure i'll be back on here after i get stuck again.

 

no problem, make sure you get a heavy duty outisde spring compressor

I assume you have a 2004 truck thats a bigger square body style right?

 

spring compressor for what? I did not use one when I installed my leveling kit

 

ahh yea never mind, i keep thinking they spacer goes with the coil in the strut assembly. doh!

 

there are both styles but most go for the top mount due to is easier to install.
