INSTALLATION TIP: Swapping the driver's side strut to the passenger side of the truck and the passenger side strut to the driver's side will allow you to re-install the struts with a better angle on the lower bolts. This will help to prevent premature wear or tearing in the lower bushings.
FITMENT NOTE: This guide will work for most 1.5 inch, 2 inch and 2.5 inch spacer kits.

This step-by-step guide will show you how to install a spacer lift on your 2021-2026 F-150. We’re installing the Stage 3 Motorsports 2.3” kit on our F-150 which will allow us to run 34" tires on factory spec 20" wheels without rubbing.
