Sigh…love Kodiak. Question, does the nudge bar interfere with any sensors If you have copilot and do tires rub ar all when fully turned?

What dealer did you buy it from? Did you pre-order the BS.

Sweet ride! Great complementing accessories.

Nope no rubbing at all and no interference with sensors.

Galpin Ford. Most of mods done by Galpin Auto Sports (GAS). Yes I had to pre-order

Where did you get the rims?

Where did you get the rims?

Galpin Auto Sports ordered them from Raceline

Didn't like any of the lift/levelings kits out there so I went with the lift springs from H & R products.
Raised about 1.5 front and rear.

A few questions: Did you install these yourself? Did all four come together, or did you have to buy them individually? How much were they? What's the difference between springs and a spacer kit (other than the obvious physical difference)? Do you know if they put any additional stress/wear-and-tear on the driveline components?

I'm surprised this hasn't come up as an alternative solution to lifting the BS, but to be honest, it doesn't really look like it's lifted (maybe the angle - looks can be deceiving). I looked for them on their website and I think I may have found them. Is this it (part # 51680)?

Hello,
Nope did not install these myself. The shop had these in stock so I do not know how they bought them but it does say a kit on my invoice. Pricing depends on vendor/shop but the website should tell you. I did get a little discount.
The lift/leveling kits that I checked out had a tendency to make lots of noise after installation. I do not know if they put extra stress on driveline components but they are stiffer then the original. Seem to be working just fine.

I can tell for sure that I got the lift I wanted. Only looking to put an 1 or 1.5 inch lift on the BS. If you compare the first pics I posted you can definitely see the difference but like you say looks can be deceiving. Yes that is the part......

Thanks for answering my questions. I can tell now that there is a difference in height, especially with the additional gap in the wheel well. I think it was just the angle that made it hard to tell initially.

Two more questions: If you don't mind me asking, what was the total cost for the kit and installation? I know it's different depending on where you buy them, but I'm just trying to get a ballpark estimate. I can find the price of the kit (I assume it comes with all four springs), but not sure of installation costs. Also, did you require an alignment after installation?

Thanks again!

 

[Danos]

Cost of kit (4 springs) and installation was about 1200 which included the alignment. No problem. Good luck.
