2006 Ford F-150 Buildup - Fantastic Ford



 Fantastic 2006 Ford F150 Bracket In Place
After loosely hanging the drop-down bracket in place, the supplied template was marked for the required holes that needed to be drilled. A cordless drill made quick work of creating the necessary holes.
 Fantastic 2006 Ford F150 Drive Axle
It took two guys to hoist the drive axle into place, but once it was there, the rear-most drop-down bracket was bolted and torqued down.
 Fantastic 2006 Ford F150 Drop Brackets
Here, you see Jeff installing the sway bar mounting drop brackets.
 Fantastic 2006 Ford F150 Control Arms
He then installed the factory lower control arms and the suspension was coming together nicely.
 Fantastic 2006 Ford F150 Compression Struts
Then, Jeff was able to install the Pro Comp com-pression struts to the new drop-down bracket and frame.
 Fantastic 2006 Ford F150 Coilover
It was time for the crme de la crme, the massive Pro Comp coilover assembly. Tuned from the factory, these coilover provide rugged aesthetics with real off-road capability. Pro Comp also includes the strut cup, so the coilover is easily installed in the same manner as the Ford shock.
 Fantastic 2006 Ford F150 Hub
After removing the hub from the factory spindle, Jeff installed the hub onto the larger Pro Comp lift spindle.
 Fantastic 2006 Ford F150 Front Suspension
He was then able to tighten everything down on the front suspension. The factory brakes were re-installed and the Pro Comp brake line bracket extenders were bolted on.
 Fantastic 2006 Ford F150 Shocks
Jeff followed the torque specs given by Pro Comp, then double-checked his work. The truck's almost ready for Georgia red-clay mud bogging.
