Rough Country 2.5" Suspension Lift Kit for 2004-2008 Ford F-150 2WD/4WD - 57030

Q: sawa truck raised off the floor for servive with this kit instaled and it looked as though the upper armswere bound to the strut?

When it’s on the ground you won’t have that problem

Q: Has anyone else having issues getting the upper control arm re connected after installing front spacers?

Should not be that difficult to connect the upper control arm; yes the newer longer arms work much better, they are designed totally different and made for these specifications thus are easier reconnecting your upper control arms going back together and are easier on your front end wear. Remember this is a leveling kit, if you want to stay safe run the two inch leveling kit. The two and a half and the three inch leveling kits start putting more pressure on all your axles, joints putting them more in a bind. If one wants a nice clean look and less worry some free issues then go with a three inch or four inch total lift kit on your vehicle when going above the two inch. A more complete system and totally different look. More money but less problems. Sorry, back to the original question of having problems connecting the upper control arms back together; put a chain down and around the bottom jack and wrap it around the upper control arm. When raising the jack the chain will keep the upper control arm from lifting higher. Therefore making it easier to connect your upper control arm when completing your task. Good luck.

Q: i want to get this kit for my 2004 ford heritage why will it not work on it?

Because it will put your entire stock front end at a bad angle and rip apart your axles. I’ve been through 2 sets of lower ball joints and shredded my Axles since. Get the extended aftermarket upper control arms if you insist on doing this
