Good job.
Could have easily accessed the mounting bolts closest to the rear seat backs by simply laying the seats down. No need to climb in.
Oh well….
Anyone know what the weight is of the OEM Pull Out Cargo Area Tailgate?
Just curious as to the extent it may contribute to rear suspension squatting.
The Ford website doesn’t have it listed under specifications. Couldn’t find anything on the internet either.
TIA
The front did settle, but was still 1/4 higher in the front. I had one of the 3/16 upper spacers removed and now the front is about 1/4 lower than the back.
This looks better imo.
What type of washers?
I can go to my local Ace hardware and get some. I assume stainless steel would be best?
Is there a certain metal density needed to keep from crushing??

I had one of the 3/16 upper strut spacers removed. The front now is 5/8 lower than the rear versus being 1/4 higher.
1/2 total is spacer sizing instead of 5/8 would be the ultimate lift height for a BB w/ Sas.
No level kits are currently available in 1/2 spacer height. All seem to be a...
Thanks everyone for your feedback and support! This is truly a great forum
I actually am pleased with the rear height, just wanted the rake reduced or eliminated.
Going to eliminate one of the 3/16 upper spacers and call it a day. That will provide ample lift over stock and close to level...
Here’s what mine looks like.
It definitely looks front high (even though it’s only 1/4 of an inch).
I measured from the bottom pinch welds on both sides and front to rear = 19.5 inches. So it’s technically level.
Thus, the front fender height is different from the rear.
Update 12/18/24
Measurement from top of tire (between lugs) to fender bottom (center of wheel):
RF = 7 3/4
RR = 7 1/2
LF = 7 1/2
LR = 7 3/8 (-1/8)
Not sure why the RF is (+1/4) to the LF?
Could this be an error in the installation?
Perhaps how certain components were reassembled??
I can...
It has settled down to +.25 higher than the rear.
LR is the lowest
RR is +.125
RF is .25
LF is .187
I’m contemplating removing one of the top 3/16 spacers???
Thoughts/Opinions???
Will the front settle down to match or come close to the rear height? Currently about 1” higher now.
Already had it aligned.
Only drove it about 5 miles home from the shop.
TIA for the feedback.
