RoadActive Suspension Front Clamp Orientation for 2019 Ford F-150

Question

Question:

This morning I installed the system on my F-150 4x4 super-crew, The issue I have the instructions do not say which hole you install the front cross bolt . We wanted to keep the threaded rod short so we installed cross bolt into the longest set up... After install was finished we noticed the rear hook end bracket is riding on the threaded rod not on the curved retainer.... Can you give any guidance as to the correct position of the cross bolt ??? Sincerely

I attached a picture that I got from RAS that shows how the front clamp is supposed to look of the # RAS3611-Y when installed on a Ford truck like your 2019 Ford F-150.

Looks like our finished install, our concern was with the other end... Which was bearing on the threaded adjustment rod. A call from another expert said not to worry about that as it would not cause any damage to the product...

The threaded adjustment rod you mentioned on the hook side of the Roadmaster Active Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-Y is great question. The way the system operates there is constant tension on that end, where the spring allows the adjustment/movement on the opposite end. There won't be enough movement on the hook end with the threaded rod to cause that to strip or have issue. I've attached a video that may help with the visual to ease your concern. I recommend checking it within the warranty to ensure you aren't seeing any wear, but the system is maintenance free so no adjustments are necessary and there shouldn't be any noticeable wear at all.
