Tuff Country 3-Inch Lift Kit Review - Duration: 4:41.

Hey everyone! Greg from CARiD.com and welcome back to the shop.And in

today's video I have with me a fantastic low buck lift kit for those of you out

there that wants to lift your truck but on a budget.This kit is perfect for the

truck owner that wants to increase their overall ground clearance and also add a

set of larger wheels and tires without breaking the bank. This time it's from

the guys that have been designing and building quality lifts since 1989 and

this is Tuff Country's 3 inch lift kit for all 15 and up ford F-150 trucks.

So in this video I'm gonna cover every single detail of this 3 inch lift kit

from Tuff Country including its construction, what comes with the kit and

even how to install it so let's get started. Alright so here it is - this is

Tuff Country's 3 inch lift kit again for all 15 and up Ford F-150

trucks. And if you guys haven't heard of Tuff Country up until now you really

need to take the time to check them out. Now like I said earlier - these guys have

been building and designing quality lift kits since 89. And all the products that

they build are made right here in the states. So it was really about time that

we got our hands on a kit just to check it out for ourselves. Now the lift kit

that I have here today is gonna be Tuff Country's tallest lift that they offer

for the late-model F150. They achieve that 3 inches in height a few different

ways. To get the front of the truck up Tuff Country uses a set of modified

aluminum strut bearing plates and extended strut spacers. These are gonna

mount right to the top of your factory struts to give you that boost in

front-end height. But what's really nice about this kit compared to others is

Tuff Country also includes a new set of extended upper control arms to make sure

that all of your alignment angles stay in spec. You're also going to have the

option choose from either your standard upper control arm ball joint or you can

upgrade it to their uniball ball joints for better articulation. Now for the rear

of the truck tough country includes a set of durable outer leaves to bring up

the whole back end. Now not only will these additional leaf springs actually

lift the back of your truck up but they will also aid in hauling heavy payloads

and even towing. Now I also want to point out that the kit that I have here today

is one of the more basic options and it doesn't

include shocks. Now you are totally fine to install this lift kit using the

factory shocks without worrying about overextending them. But if you want to

you can also upgrade to Tuff Countries SX 8000 shocks for just a few extra

bucks. Now that we have all the features of this lift kit covered let's move on

to the installation. Now I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. This installation is more

involved than your average spacer lift but it's still completely doable in your

own garage. Now if you don't own one already you need to pick up a cross

spring compressor to get this job done. And if you don't want to buy one there

are plenty of auto parts stores out there that'll loan you this tool. To get

started you need to get your factory struts out of the truck. Now that's gonna

mean unbolting the sway bars on each side and then disconnecting the ABS and

brake lines from the frame. Separate the upper control arm ball joint from the

steering knuckle and then loosen all three nuts on the top of the strut in

the two lower strut bolts and then remove from the truck. Now take that's

out this is where the coil spring compressor comes in. Mark the location of

the top strut mount to make sure it goes back in the exact same orientation and

then begin to compress the spring. Once the spring is completely compressed

remove the top bolt and the upper bearing plate and install the new

modified bearing plate underneath the factory plate install it back on the top

of the strut with your brand new strut spacer and then tighten up all your nuts.

With the strut reassemble you can now bolt it back into the truck. But the last

thing that you need to do before you can reassemble the entire front

suspension is both up your brand new upper control arms. This is gonna get in

system on both in the two bolts holding your stock control onto the frame and

then using those same bolts to bolt up your brand new ones. Moving on to the

rear it's time to get to the add a leaf installation. Now when doing this you

need to be extremely careful because those Springs are under a lot of attention.

Using a good set of C clamps clamp the springs at both the front in the rear to

hold the tension. Once they are firmly in place

loosen the two retaining nuts in the center of the leaf spring and loosen

each clamp evenly and slowly to relieve the spring tension. Place your new added

leafs above the overload spring and then install your new leaf spring bolts

to center it with the other leafs. Compress all the leafs together using

your C clamps and then tighten the new leaf spring bolts evenly until they are

completely compressed and then just cut off the remaining bolt. At this point you

can both of a larger set of wheels and tires get your truck aligned and you are

ready to hit the dirt and start enjoying your new lift.

Well everyone, that's gonna conclude my review today of Tuff Countries

3 inch lift kit for all 15 and up Ford F-150 trucks. So if you want all the

benefits of a lifted truck without the massive price tag - head over to CARiD.com
