    Ohh ok well still you won't break any off. Its the 3v 5.4 trucks that have issues with plugs and yours is a 2v. Good luck man.

    Got my trailing arms off eBay from Pmc or whatever fabrication place for $180 shipped. BIGGEST PAIN IN THE ASS bolts and nuts were so rusted. The new ones were 1/4" longer than factory so I had to drill holes out. Then the driver side u can't get a wrench in cause if the gas tank and when u do u can't get the bolt out. God how I hate ford for cluttering everything. Up next is rear shocks. This time I'll pay someone to do it

    Trailing arms???

    Rear shocks are simple man. Seriously simple. I can walk you through the steps but its literally nothing more than taking off bolts at either end and replacing haha
