MOTOFAB LIFTS F150-3F-2R 3" Front and 2" Rear Leveling Lift kit for 2004-2014 Ford F150

First I want to start off by saying the quality of this leveling kit is top notch, especially for the price. No issues whatsoever ever regarding this product. The installation was of course a little frustrating just like almost any other car/truck project. One comment I seen quite often is if you get a 3” leveling kit in the front you’ll need longer control arms. NOOOOOO!!! You do not. Yes it is a tight fit while the vehicle is raised, yes your control arm might make some contact with the strut while in the air. But once you lower the vehicle and put the weight back on it the control arm is no where near to making contact like everyone said would have happened. One thing I do recommend is using PB blaster on every bolt! I have a well taken care of truck so I had no issues with stuck bolts. But I know how trucks get especially with rust. Don’t let the bolts frustrate you and just go into this project prepared. The front installation is definitely the worst part. Only because you most removed the brake caliper, tie rod, upper control arm and the strut assembly itself. But once all of that is removed and you begin putting it back together, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING A PRYBAR SET!!!! I went to Oreilly and they have a set for $19.99. It’s well worth it. If not you’ll have severe headache trying to put this kit on. The rear is super east. I recommend doing one side at a time so you don’t have the whole axle shift on you and it’ll be a pain lining the kit back up. Also, the U-bolts supplied for the rear are pretty long. You will not be able to use a deep socket to tighten the bolts back up unless you use a angle grinder and trim the bolts a bit which is what I recommend. If you don’t have access to one like me, you’ll need a 15/16 wrench (atleast for a 2006 F150 Lariat 2WD) and a lot of patience. Anyways overall this kit is amazing and I highly recommend it. Thank you Motofab!!!!

Now just so everyone knows what there getting the 3in blocks in the front are just under 3in but still give it a 3in lift. The rear blocks are 2in directly. Now I gave it 5 stars on easy install but I have a machanical back ground. I installed this on my 2007 f150 v8 5.4l 4x4 and had to remove the CV axle from the wheel hub to get them to fit so make life easier and lossen all the bolts needed before pulling apart. The rear went in alught quicker but if your doing it woth common 1 1/2 ton Jack's I'd work you to have a third bottle jack to put in front if the difrence or a large bar and a buddy to realize the axle as you jack it up. But past that quilty so far is amazing I can feel and see the diffrence defently worth the money.

So the product quality if first class. The strut spacers are quality sturdy and the 2 inch rear blocks are also top notch. Pay attention to the manufacturer's comments on the size of spacer versus the actual lift due to suspension dynamics. Meaning the strut spacers were 2 inches tall but once on the truck the lift was actually over 3 inches. Now for the install, regardless of what you see on youtube, be prepared for frustrations and new explicit languages when trying to get the strut out of a 2014 F150. Ford pressed in those two retaining bolts connecting the strut to lower control arm. They just don't hammer out. Don't take the axle out, disconnect the steering knuckle and then drop the lower control arm where it connects to the frame. For the rear, do one side at a time or the axle will shift on you and make it frustrating to get things lined up again with the 2 inch blocks. No, you do not need new rear shocks because of the 2 inch blocks, trust me. Overall I applaud the manufacturer for offering such a quality product at these prices. But, thanks to Ford, do yourself a favor and let a shop handle the headaches for you. I can tell you I love my truck and the 3 inch level. I get complements every day and heads always turn with this level and the 35 inch tires this level enables. I put on 295/65/20 Cooper STT Pro tires (35 inch) and there's no rubbing at all. Thanks Motofab!

I have a 2011 ecoboost F150 XLT 2WD. The front spacers were easy to install and I didn't have to loosen the main bolt on the lower control arm like most on youtube suggest. I just used a pry bar and I did the install by myself. I do recommend using an impact driver on the bottom bolt of the strut to make it much faster and easier. Otherwise, you may be there a while tugging at it and breaking a few wrenches in the process. I used an impact. On the frontend, the thing to remember to turn the strut the opposite direction (180 degrees ) when you reinstall it. The most difficult part was jacking up the rear-end in gravel to disconnect the axle to install the new blocks. If not careful the backend with slide around depending on how you jack it up. I had to resort to putting a jack on the hitch to stabilize it and adding a few other precautions and of course jacks on the axle itself. The U bolts were way too long, so I chose to cut them with a grinder at the end of the installation. After I was finished, I brought it straight to the tire shop and had new tires put on and an alignment done. You should always have an alignment done when braking down the suspension, especially when changing the whole geometry of it like with this kit. The drive is completely different mainly because I went with 305/55/20 from 265/70/18. I bought Falken WildPeaks AT3 and they have printed on the side 305/55/20 (33x12.50x20). However, these tires are about 34" in height and much taller and wider than the Firestone Destination MT2 (33x12.50x20) the tire shop had in stock. The ride is much stiffer with a slight bump in steering. Of course, it doesn't have the handling that it did with the street radial. With the street radials and the factory height, the truck handled more like a car and I would speed along old country roads more like I was driving car and now you have to show a little respect for the stiffer (more like truck ride and handling). I bought this kit because I would easily get stuck and now I can go places I wouldn't dare to go. The bigger more aggressive tires grip and the limited slip keeps one tire from digging itself a grave. I would get stuck carrying a load of anything across damp ground, connecting or pulling a trailer (camper or utility) in some places, and easily bottoming out when crossing road ways with a decent size transition. And yes, I use a leveling hitch. The hitch only get's it back level and not give the truck height it didn't have before. There are a few drawbacks, but it isn't caused by the lift kit. It is caused by the bigger tires. The speedometer is off, fuel economy will drop and you will feel a loss of power (depending on the tire size). The speedometer accuracy can be fixed with a performance tuner. The tuner will help with the loss of power and help get some fuel economy back. I cannot say exactly how much it helps because how I drive that day, the temp outside, what load I'm pulling all weigh on my average mpg. I just know it helps. Overall, I am happy with product. The product is made solid with all the hardware needed to install it. From start to finish, took me less than a day by myself. It made for a nice DIY project and allowed for much larger tires. In total with tires and leveling/lift kit, the truck is now 5.5" higher in the front and 4.5" taller in the back.

Leveled out the truck and gave me a few inches of lift. I got the kit 3in in front - 2in in the back which allowed me to get 285/70/17 BFGOODRICH TA KO2 underneath it. And alignment and now it rides smooth. 1500 miles on tires and still look brand new. Don't forget to re-torque the leveling kit bolts after 50 miles. Very important to do it or catastrophic failure will occur.

The kit was nice and came in a timely manner, easy to install, gave it 3 star rating due to description misleading, it said it gives a true 3" front and 2" rear lift, it did raise front up 3" but on the rear you have to remove factory block and replace it with thier block and I only got 1" lift out of the rear and through further research on the internet it is true 2" lift if it were on a 2wd pickup, also the u bolts were way too long had to cut them down with a cut off wheel, but otherwise fitment was great and looks good and allows clearance with zero issues on my 2014 F150 4x4 with 305/55R20 tires or 33's have seen where people are squeezing 35's on there

Love this 2" lift made in America, solidly built, good value. A challenge to install but watch youtube videos and with good quality tools, you can do it. You will need to cut the long U bolts for the rear. Great value! I have a 04 F150

I put this product on a 09 f150 XLT 4 door. It came with all the hardware needed and instructions that were very useful. Did not take long to install and gives the truck a very aggressive look. I was able to fit 35 12.50s under the truck with no rubbing.
