How to Install Traxda 2 in. Leveling Kit on your F-150

Installation Time

2 hours

Installation Tips

Always use caution handling ABS or wheel sensor wiring. Avoid tension of any kind on wiring  harness as this may cause damage or failure. 

1. Trucks are often not level side to side from the factory. Please measure before installation.

2. Re-torque all hardware to manufactures specifications

3. When aligning, to get the best tire wear use our supplied specifications. OEM specifications are for trucks with stock wheels and tires. Larger tires will wear differently.

4. All instructions are written with vehicle on a 2-post lift with tires removed.

This kit contains:

2 - Strut Caps

1 - Hardware Pack

Instructions Warranty Card

Stickers


Step 1:  Disconnect sway bar link from control arm and separate tie rod end. On 4x4 models remove axle nut at hub. Support spindle assembly. Use caution with any ABS wiring to prevent damage. Separate upper ball joint. Remove lower strut mounting bolt and upper strut mount nuts and remove strut. 

Step 2: Install TRAXDA spacer on the strut as shown in Figure A. Note the twisted shape of the TRAXDA cap, the strut will be rotated 180 degrees when reinstalled in the truck.

Step 3: Reinstall the strut assembly in reverse of dis-assembly. It may be necessary to use a pry bar to aid in the re-installation of the strut assembly. Use a pit jack to raise the lower control arm and re-connect ball joint. Note: a tall jack may be needed under the rear bumper to steady the truck on the lift. Verify that all hardware has been tightened to the proper torque specs.           


Alignment notes:  We recommend that a technician with experience doing alignments on lifted trucks perform the alignment. Large tires wear differently than OEM sized tires. Always do an alignment after changing tires on a vehicle.
