How to level out my Ford F150 1999?
I have a 99 Ford f150 xlt v6 2wd. It has kind of an east coast stance stock. I just want to drop the rear maybe 2 inches to kind of level it out with the front end. I don't want to comprise my hauling by removing a leaf spring. But is there a way I can move my leaf spring shackles to the underside of the rear end to accomplish this? Or how do I d it the right way. Again the front ensemble sits fine I just want to drop the rear about 2 inches.
Typically when you level a truck you are raising the front end but you can buy a 2 in shackle drop kit from a lot of websites. I don't think that would h your anything.
- What's a good tool brand for an entry level technician? I don't have snap on, mac, mactco money right now and i'm about to be moved back to the quick lube section of the ford dealership i work at, but i don't have any tools. People have said craftsmen is good for a shade tree mechanic but absolute garbage for everyday use. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
- What's the difference in the level of the errors, here? Obama said there were 57 States and that Ford invented the automobile. Trump said? Airports instead of seaports or just ports. It looks like the same basic thing. Slip of the tongue. How can libs make such a big deal out of one without seeing that the other is almost identically the same kind of error? .
- Which car is the overall to keep for a couple of yrs? 1999 Nissan maxima, 1999 Altima, 2006 ford Taurus or 2002 buick lesabre? All of them have low mileage as the Taurus have 69000 and the maxima have the highest of 123000. They all under 1100 bucks.
- After driving Ford Ranger, high mileage, 10 miles and at normal operating temp, I park overnight on level concrete floor. I check oil level? Next day before starting and when I pull dipstick out, oil level is at full mark. I wipe the dipstick clean and re-insert and check oil level again, the oil level is down about 1/8th inch or so. I check it once more and get same reading. Is the crankcase full or do I need to add some oil? Just to be clear, since this is an older Ranger with over 170,000 miles, I use high mileage oil and I check the oil level regularly. It doesn't use oil after just 10 miles of driving.
