Ah good point about the offset. Guess I'll just have to do airbags or something in the back. I dont mind it being level, but I always have stuff in the back or am towing.
The offset isn't necessary with a coilover kit, the spacer is offset so as not to throw the stock coilover into to straight of a path so as it's not getting the travel necessary. But a coilover level is designed to work at the angles properly, now doing UCA's allows more clearance but most aren't necessary, it also allows you to fine tune it a little. Some of the bigger coilovers recommend a UCA replacement because of the thickness of the coil, on stock UCA it might not have enough clearance and come in contact with it.
On my Toyotas I always found that UCAs with some built in caster really helped to get the steering back to a stock feel. Lifting with stock UCAs always resulted in a squirrly steering at speed. However with my Tremor I did not feel like the steering was affected, at least not with the AS 2.0s. That's why I assumed dropping the front by 1"+ if I went with the Halos would also not require new UCAs.
The UCA is supposed to be slightly different from stock, they are a little longer than a stock f150, I didn't check inside clearance but can confirm they are a bit longer.
The stock Tremor UCA is longer than the stock F-150 UCA? Would make sense, allow more travel I guess.
Yes but it's only tenths of an inch longer
Hey every little bit helps....
I'm gonna need the whole 2" or I'll be rubbing for sure
I'm really really close to ordering. I'm just afraid that I'll be rubbing all to hell with 35's.What's everyone's thoughts of this kit? It seems like it's priced pretty well. I told myself when I spent 70k on a new truck that a $150 level kit was only going to be temporary. I'm usually not one to ask other people's opinions but I'm torn on if this is the one... or if I should just hold out a bit longer for another option to come along
I also haven't found out if it'll compare to the ride hieght of the AS 2.5 kit.... ???
Umm... pussy if you don't.
peer pressure for ya.
Ordered.Umm... pussy if you don't.
Anyway my issue (295/70/r18) is the 0 offset. I think if you stick with factory rims or a more positive offset you'll be fine.
You weren't kidding... you just needed a little peer pressure. I'm gonna call you Marty Mcfly
Maybe it’s stated earlier in the thread - but I’d expect if the overall diameter of the halo lift strut/coil is the same or less than factory then you wouldn’t need the UCA’s for clearance or alignment. I didn’t have any issues with caster or camber on my truck after 3” of lift (just had to correct for toe). Others seem to have had similar experiences.
Is this a different setup for 3" all together or are they just sending the coilovers preset at 3" instead of 2.5"?
They're sending the coilovers preset at 3" instead of 2.5".
