You can soak them in penetrating oil before trying to remove. It makes a huge difference. And allow some time for it to work its magic!
I’ve had my F-350 for a while, and I can say alignment after installation is crucial! Don’t skip that step, or you’ll be in for a bumpy ride.
Totally agree! I also suggest checking your shocks and struts while you’re at it to save time later.
If you’re trying to save a few bucks, consider borrowing tools from a friend. Just don’t be that person who returns them dirty… haha!
I’m definitely that person! But with a project like this, it’s worth investing in some quality tools to avoid future headaches.

One last thing, don’t forget to read the instructions thoroughly! It may seem like a no-brainer, but I’ve seen many mishaps from skipping that.
I’m also looking into leveling kits for my 2022 F-350! I’ve heard they can really improve the stance, but I’m curious about how they affect ride quality and suspension longevity.
That’s true! A leveling kit can give you a better visual balance and can enhance off-road performance without compromising too much on comfort. Just make sure to choose a reputable brand.
I’ve installed a leveling kit on my F-350, and honestly, it changed the game. The steering feels more stable, and I didn’t notice a drastic change in the ride quality. Just be wary of your alignment post-install.
Great point! Alignment is crucial after modifying suspension. Did you do it yourself or take it to a shop?
I took mine to a shop. It’s worth having a professional check it out to avoid any long-term issues. Plus, they can help with any other adjustments you might need!

What brands are you guys recommending? I’m torn between a few options, and I want to make sure I get the best one for my F-350.
I’ve had good luck with ReadyLift. They offer great kits that are designed specifically for the F-350, and installation is straightforward.
ReadyLift is a solid choice! But I personally went with BDS Suspension. The ride quality remained excellent even after the kit was installed.
That’s awesome to hear! What size tires did you pair with it? I want to avoid rubbing on my F-350.
I went with 35’s and haven’t had any issues at all! Just make sure you get the right offset for your wheels.
Do you guys think leveling kits are necessary? I see so many memes about trucks looking like ‘monster trucks’ with those kits. I’m conflicted!

Haha, I get that! But honestly, if you use your truck for off-roading or heavy towing, a leveling kit helps with clearance and stability. Plus, they look great!
It’s all about how you plan to use your F-350. If you want that aggressive look, leveling kits are fun! Just remember the functional benefits too.
Does anyone have any regrets after installing a leveling kit? I’ve heard mixed reviews on ride comfort post-install.
