Boss Coilovers 0-3" of lift

Severado · April 7, 2017

Well...angles couldn't hurt for the rest of the curious folks.

Left and right angles. Had to scoot under the air dam. Should be better shots.

Is a replacement set of upper control arm recommended with the Boss coil-overs at 2" lift?

You can run them with your stock UCA's, if you wanted to go with an aftermarketet of arms, we like the Total Chaos UCA's.

After finding out that I need to do way more push-ups to compress these. I'm getting them installed by a shop.

Mine are installed, but I will wait patiently for your review before I post anything. If you need help on the install, send me a PM and I'll tell you a trick to doing it yourself since I didn't have the strength do it either. One side took 40 minutes (due to gathering tools and creating leverage) the other side took me 10 minutes!

Got them installed this afternoon. I got it mostly compressed by hand, but couldn't hold it to insert the bolt. So I went with a floor jack, but couldn't find anything to wedge under the cup to align the bolt. That's when I took it to the shop. Got tired of laying under the truck fighting with it.

Feel free to add your review. I can't post mine until I look into another issue.

There's no need to compress the rear shocks to install them. Simply jack up the truck by the frame until the lower eye lines up with the shock mount and slip the bolt in. Let the truck down and tighten the bolts. Takes about 10 min to swap both shocks with a jack and impact wrench.

That's how I got it installed. Still had to compress it some because they are longer and stout AF.

Or use the jack to compress the shock. My truck is too high to jack the frame without stacking wood to put on top of the pivot head of the floor jack...safety becomes an issue at a certain point. I used a device from what looks like the head of a gas trimmer that I found in the garage to set the rounded bottom of the shock. It fit over the pivot head perfectly; worked like a charm.

That sir looks like an oil filter socket wrench. I bet the square hole fits a ratchet.
