Received my 2.5” Leveling Kit from @Fordrangerlifts.com . Came with a sweet Koozie for my frequent adult beverages.

Received the last parts I ordered that will allow me to make my own led light bars for inside the bed lighting ? aluminum channel, bright led's and 2 part epoxy to make them waterproof. Will experiment with other lights and locations as time goes on. Going to tap into the fob lighting wires as a switch.

Interested to see what you come up with. What wires are you tapping into? Auto correct must have got you.

Nothing too exciting, just a handful of stainless anchor points for my Rhino Rack.

Have any part numbers on those sir?
First I want tell others that the online parts catalog is incorrect for replacing tie rod to knuckle nut. Catalog calls for part #W520213-SS440 these are to small. When I called to ask for assistance to get the right part online and at dealership neither was helpful. The following parts and numbers are what I used and where installed.
Sway bar link to knuckle
W176936-SS442 you need two
Tie rod to knuckle
W520214-SS440 you need two
Upper control arm to knuckle
W520214-SS440 you need two

Based on my research it’s debatable as to whether you shouldn’t reuse the oe nylok nuts removed. I chose to get new as they didn’t cost a lot but because of the poor assistance I received from Ford parts I have paid for nuts that weren’t needed for this project so I spent more than necessary.

I will add this disclaimer the above parts are what I used based on my research to include calls to the parts line and catalog. I recommend that any persons do their own research and come to their own conclusions as to what parts to use.
