Review: Yeehaw - Woohoo Im riding like the big boys in my little F-1 Lifty. all jokes aside after 217,000 miles my suspension was shot it was cheaper to buy the lift kit than to get new shocks so I went for it. No regrets here, I actually like the truck now. As a chevy guy who ended up with a free ford that as of now has cost me almost 7000 dollars I'm honestly impressed with how much better the beat up ol F150 looks in the yard after this upgrade. It was easy to install and only slightly changed the front end alignment. remember to change your upper and lower ball joints when you put this kit on the ol ford cause they are terrible from the factory. Good luck and happy trails
Review: Fun times with my son. - I love being a Dad! This truck is my 15 yr old son’s. I taught him the whole way how to install. It helps to replace ball joints if needed, especially the lowers. It would be wise to purchase two nuts and bolts about 1 1/2” long. I used metric. It’s for the ABS sensors. Also recommend buying wheel seals and repacking front wheel bearings when the hubs are pulled. It’s an extra step but so worth it. If you have ABS, the sensor harness will need to be repositioned so zip tie it in place. There is enough “stretch” for the harness to be routed so no need to worry. The lift will allow 33” tires. I used stock wheels and 285/75/16 mud tires. I had to shave 1/2” of plastic on the front bumper but not noticeable. The easiest way to do the rear is to pull the bed!! Once the bed is pulled, it will take 30 minutes tops. While you are there, you can paint the frame black so that it isn’t an eyesore with the lift. All in all it’s a great product, great package. Rough Country knows it and they don’t need to have a “sale” to reduce inventory which is why I couldn’t find a cheaper price. I even asked the rep for a discount. Nope! Oh well I tried.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will these spindles fits a 4x4?**
A: No. The spindle is for 2x4 only. A 4x4 spindle would have a hole in the center for a cv axel to slide through.

**Q: Will this lift kit work for a 1998 Ford Expedition 2wd?**
A: Yes

**Q: Does this kit work on a 2001 2WD Expedition**
A: The spindles will fit the front, but I forget if the rear is leaf spring or coil spring.

**Q: How big are the blocks?**
A: I had to use actual 2inch blocks to make it level. They’re closer to like 1.5 inches. It squatted a bit with the blocks in the kit. Luckily a friend had taller blocks.
