2004-2006 FORD F-150 4WD 4”-6” Suspension System Installation Instructions
Installation by a professional mechanic is recommended. Use of the appropriate tools, a Ford service manual, and a shop hoist can greatly reduce installation time. Prior to installation, carefully inspect the vehicle’s steering and drive train systems, paying close attention to the tie-rod ends, rack & pinion unit, ball joints and wheel bearing preload. Also check steering-to-frame and suspension-to-frame attachment points for stress cracks. The overall vehicle must be in excellent working condition; repair or replace worn parts.
