Front Strut Install Problems

[TheRealJawg]

Yours say street down the side, those are the street performance series so you don’t have the right part I’m assuming it’s the f150 because it looks likes this.

Edit: also the ones on your truck are 2.5 not 2 like the trail series i can tell that from the photos.
.

They do say street performance but what's odd is 26021 is stamped in to the metal and on the sticker (see pics below). Just fyi I am in agreement with you that these aren't the correct struts for this truck.

Yeah it’s def the wrong one, the stamp is weird though. Because there leveling lift kits say trail down the side, anythign with street from kw/bell tech is a lowering also just pulled up the leveling kit and lift kit trail series and it’s stamped with 25021 i wonder if they screwed up the internal systems.
See attached photo.

Curious as to why anybody would buy from Belltech to LIFT a truck?

That's like going to McDonalds for a fish sandwich.

Am I the only person that likes McDonald's fish sandwiches?

Good luck with the truck.

I watched a mega machines show on the boats that provide McDonald's fish. It was a series on like giant earth movers an big machines. This was a big @$$ boat that caught all the fish, had a processing plant on board an breaded an froze it so it was ready to go to the distribution facilities when they got back. Not saying it makes a good sandwich or not but it's a pretty cool process.

It's just bait with a fancy name.

Think I've seen the same episode.

I love shows like that.

I have the Belltech shock absorbers on the rear of the truck and they are great. They know suspensions so lifting isn't a far stretch. After researching for months the Belltech set seemed the best mix of value, performance and quality vs. what's currently available on the market.

The only time I would consider pulling up the Belltech website is if I were lowering a truck, personally.

UPDATE!

Exchanged several emails with KW Automotive and sent several pics of installation as well as measurements.

It's the wrong strut - with the wrong PN stamped in to it.

They are shipping the correct struts out today so I should have them by this weekend to install.

I'll give another update once I have the new struts and get them installed (if they're the right ones).

Nice , a very wise man way back in post #6 suggested a tape measure to verify the correct part , should be alot easier next time!
