I got a Truxxx 1.5" leveling kit, Had a Truxxx on my old Sport Trac and liked it, quality product.
Checked with a shop near my work and got quoted a ballpark of $400-$450 for three hours install and alignment ($100). JohnnyO decides to install it himself and save $300.
Instructions from both Truxxx and TheRangerStation.com say to unplug three plugs from the electric power steering. Well, that wasn't going to happen. I slid the red clips back but plugs no come out.
My worst fear is breaking something and then it costs me 10x more to fix it than what I thought I'd save by doing it myself. This has happened before.
On the other hand, the Stage 3 videos on YouTube do not mention unplugging the power steering.
So....
Does anybody know if it's absolutely necessary to unplug the power steering to install the level?
Truxxx instructions say to disconnect the battery anyway.
Thanks in advance.
