i purchased the RS999286 for my 05 f150 and they dont seem to have any play in them at all. they seem to be fully compressed after installed. normal?

Those shocks are for the rear, if your truck is lowered they may be too compressed. If the truck is not lower turn the knob to a higher number you may be on its lowest setting with very little resistance, the shocks I installed work like a dream, but I have a 4x4 so it is higher off the ground stock

the shocks are compressed but when you twist them they're supposed to elongateand if they didn't you need to pull them back out and twist them I believe by either clockwise or counterclockwise and they should elongate therefore not being compressed anymore otherwise something is wrong with the shock itself

Hi Amber, I bought the same ones for my truck. They also arrived open but once installed, they closed with a little pressure on the window. They were tight and a bit stiff initially but did loosen up with use. Maybe you could try to compress them a couple of times before you install them (?). Otherwise, you may need to contact the company and exchange them. Good luck, Gerrit.

No idea, but there was a pretty good YouTube video that I checked out about the install. Maybe from that you can compare. Should also be able to check via AutoZone, Advanced, etc. It took me more time to find my floor jack than it did to install the new pads. Very happy with them so far.

Daniel: please read the review I wrote on December 6 2011 "Excellent electronic ballast for one F40/F34 T12". It describes the slight difference in wiring that I encountered on that installation and the wiring conventions I followed. Perhaps it will help.

I installed these on my 2008 Sierra 2 wheel drive and I'm about to put the stock ones back on. No matter what settings are used the front end seems to buck up and down. I've had them on the truck for 4 months now and the ride is not getting any better.

What year f150? Worked for my 07 and should be the same for 04-08 I believe. Worked great for me and still is almost a year later.

By no means am I a professional, but I installed mine myself and had no similar issues. Works and sounds like a dream for me. If you've already double checked your install and wiring with a multimeter, I'd think maybe it had something to do with your head unit possibly????? But again, not a professional...Just a guess. Wish I could be more help. Good luck!!

I went to utube and there was a video that led me through the whole install, took my laptop right to my truck and followed along. Just punch in what you need to install and you should be OK.

I am not convinced that it is a plug and play system. I have a 2001 f150 and I have yet to get it to work correctly

I have mine in my truck as well. Mine does that too. I think it is just normal. Sometimes it does it more, sometimes less.

I do not know of any f150's that don't accept a double din unit. I would double check it at crutchfield.com.

What year is your truck? I recently installed on a 2004 Trailblazer EXT LT and they went in perfectly. So far, so good.

That unit is for 3valve V8's. They started in 05 for the F150. All you need is 9/16" sparkplug socket. I recommend a set that is swivel and fixed mount. I am going to be at his office at 8:15AM. I should be in before 930. I can answer any other details in the AM. Sorry for so late on a Sunday night. I just wanted to make sure I told you what I knew as soon as I knew it.

I am using them in a '79 MGB, and completely satisfied. I looked on internet but cannot find your engine on NGK website. There are cross reference charts online however and you can put in plug # that are in your engine now. However I would call or e-mail NGK or Ultima website customer support for a positive answer!

the pic is just for reference, you will actually have another bend and a long filter, works great, even my wife said how come the truck sounds different, lol, that is because it is sucking large volumes of air.

I went throught the same issue, I have an F-250 but we installed mine in under an hour. Watch the YouTube video, it makes it pretty easy if your mechanically inclined. Also you may want to pick up a manual for your specific model. Good luck.Joe C. 2000 F250 Powerstroke.
