F150 lift kit RCX 4-5in lift

[BIG GREEN FORD]

Just finished the lift everything is exactly the same (front)
What I did for the back was
* made a 3 1/2 in spacer and placed it on the bottom of the rear coil spring.
* custom made longer stabilizer link ends
* shocks for a 4inch rear lifted expy

Bottom of step measures 22in front and back now
* still can crank front keys up more but like the leved look better

Tires
I have 315/70/R17 for now
Going to put 37s yes they fit perfectly without trimming anything.

Here are the pictures enjoy
Total lift all together is 8in

Nice job. I'm going to do the RCX lift in a month or two. How long did it take to install the front?

 

[BIG GREEN FORD]

About 8 hours. Just because I went ahead and changed upper control aarm and lower ball joint

A lot of protection built-in this lift kit

Can you post a picture of your rear spacers and sway bar mod? I'm in the same boat with the wife. I'm sneaking parts in one at a time and hoping she doesn't notice until it's too late.

Yea no problem. I can take a better picture if you like when I get home.
What i did for My sway bar link was cut them in half and welded a pip to it to make it longer

 

[98EXPnSRQ]

Thanks. What kind of pipe did you use? I was thinking about looking at Home Depot for some iron plumbing pipe that would slip over the sway bar. Also, how did you make the spacers?

Yup that's exactly what I did!
For the spacer I measured the inside of the coil spring I think it was 2 1/2 inch and got a pip that wide and got another One 3in wide (I don't remember now) (will measure when I get home) I put the 2 1/2 in wide in the 3inch wide and filled the difrence with Weld so it wouldn't move and put the spring on top and it sits on the 3in wide and the 2 1/2 in goes inside the sspring so it wount slide. And the pip is 4in long

NICE - wow what a lift

Do you have to modify anything for the transmission to adapt to the bigger tires?

 

[Canadian Expy]

Looks good, did you lower the rear Trac bar at all?, are the tires still centered under the rear side to side and front to back?

No only when I put 37s then iI will change gear ratio

Track bar stayed in same location. Don't have a proplom with its location yet. Tires are perfectly centerd . and I have perfect pinion angel (was surprised )

Did you need a coil spring compressor tool or did the springs come out and have room for the spacers when you removed the shocks and trac bar?

I did not need a spring compressor , all I removed was the shocks, and sway bar link ends and the springes came falling off . to put it back on was just grate jk I smashed my finger lol. But besides that it went in perfect
