I'm liking mine so far. Today we got some pretty heavy rains, and big thing I noticed, they felt better than the KO2's when leaving a stop. I was always aware of accelerating and thought of tire spin everytime, not with these ATIII's though, I even was a bit harder on the fuel. These things have...
I just got some 305/70/17 Toyo AT3's on my 17X9 +20 wheels a week ago. Also have a 2'5" coilover level. Replaced KO2's, 315/70/17. LRE, and don't seem much stiffer than the LRC KO2's. 40#F, 38#R. Seem about the same noise, handle similar. Look like they'll be better in snow than the KO2's that I...
Just read the Ready Lift installation PDF. I've never used a RL level before, using the cambolts is certainly different. I know the Fox coilovers I've seen used don't have the cambolts. Just gonna keep an eye out and see what the other suppliers do.
They do. From what I understand, unless you change the UCA, there shouldn't be a problem. There is some talk about an aftermarket bracket for that sensor as well. I'll see what I can find.
Thanks for the video, like you, I was, and still thinking of the Toyo when the time comes. I tend to buy tires with the 3PSF rating for where I live, so that's important for me. That video basically confirmed what I was thinking between the two.(y)
Bilsteins as stated, are popular, work well, and reasonably priced, and most are happy with them. There's a "but" thrown in there though. If you like to keep all parts of your truck looking good, you'll be disappointed after one northern winter. The shock bodies are steel with a very poor...
From what I'm seeing so far, '14 on up, including '21, are the same. I watched a video recently from a dealer in Orangeville Ontario, that installed the Fox coilovers for '14-'20 and they were saying no difference. Myself, I'm comfortable saying just do it.
The lower control arm is slightly...
Gold Star to Roger!!! That answers some of the questions about the "E"IWE. Thank you!!
This seems to be another potentially significant but unsung change to the 2021 Ford F-150. The F-150’s four-wheel-drive system has typically used a vacuum-operated hub disconnect system called IWEs...
LOL, that's twice today. Integrated Wheel End, that was Fords acronym. They are right there behind the steering knuckle where the half shaft goes thru the hub. The tech should be able to point them right out. I'm especially interested in all the lines/hoses going to them, if you will.
IWE, Integrated Wheel End per Ford.
We're both thinking somewhat alike, except I'm thinking the magnet holds the IWEs disconnected.
Some are saying there is still vacuum applied, I'm led to believe it's all electric. Did you read that link? A couple different ideas there.;)
Looking like no one is sure just what Ford is doing with the IWE system. Wish someone from a dealer would chip in, I do have this, but some conjecture.

What is Ready Lift saying is different? I think they're the ones that say one of their level kits wouldn't work on '20 down FX4's. I've installed enough to know better.
Chris, just what Roger said. Ford used the vacuum system on the 13th, 12th, and 11th generation F150's, without any real changes. Not everyone had problems, but quite a few. Some of them multiple times. Some of the problems were caused by improper repair, and techs not knowing how the system...
