Best Lowering Kits for 21-23 F150s - What Kit Is correct for you?

[@anonymouscitizen9630]

I went with VAS 3/5 with Viking shocks all around including their traction bars and front diff brace and I added the IHC helper bag kit.

[@aldoshifts8395]

Sounds like a good setup, I’m assuming you’re a 4x4 with the front diff brace. How do you like the ride quality and performance aspect of the kit?

[@anonymouscitizen9630]

It rides good thanks to those fully adjustable Vikiing shock and absolutely no wheel hop. I used to get wheel hop with stock suspension. I have 15 lbs of boost and suspension holds up nice.

[@JonathanBence]

Thank you for the comparison video. I bought the Ride tech kit with the sway bar, track bars and, air bags. I am putting the kit on an extended or "supercab" in the next couple of months. Glad to hear it is a good kit.

[@aldoshifts8395]

Just towed 6k pounds and it was very comparable to towing when it was stock

[@JonathanBence]

@@aldoshifts8395 That is awesome. I have a trailer that is going to weigh about the same.

[@JW-yj1qx]

Great video, love that you included pricing and your own first hand opinion. I have a 23 Lariat with the 5.0 Not sure how the crew cab would look lowered but cant do the two door as I need the extra space of the 4 door.

[@aldoshifts8395]

They look good on the bell tech 2/4 lowering kit, the 3/5 lowering kit might be a bit too low where you’ll run into clearance issue with a full cab / load. Lariat is a perfect trim I miss my 22 Lariat at times 😅

Great video, great info. just a tip from an old guy that's done a lot of public speaking to a young guy just starting out , stop clapping your hands together. it's just nervous energy. you probably clapped them together 200 times. Keep up the good work.

Damn man our trucks are almost identical. Same truck and color. Same headlights and lowered and grill. I just have a different set of welds and drag pack. Haha

[@grimsanchez3882]

Put a 3/5 ihc kit on mines with upgraded fox shocks about 4 months ago and the riding quality wasn’t bad at first just bumpy at times and now my truck has a squeaky sound not sure if it’s the kit or just something wrong with my truck 😂

Great review bro I almost went ihc before this video I want the best ride quality possible I would rather pay extra for that smooth ride

[@JosePatino-r2c]

Did you say the 4x4 has better ride because of the extra axles on the back? For real? That makes sense to you?

[@YoungGun821]

Can I still tow with any of these kits? I plan on owning a ~7,000lb travel trailer and trying to see how much I can lower and still tow...

[@aldoshifts8395]

I towed with the Ridetech kit and their optional tow bags this last weekend. It was about 5500lbs and it did it no problem. You will get trailer sway due to the short wheel base of the regular cab but other than that nothing to worry about.

Do you think or know if the vas suspension is good for just daily use ? I just got a 2023 single cab and I don’t plan on doing any motor work soon just trying to do cosmetics and get it lookin good first

[@aldoshifts8395]

I know of some people that have it on their weekend warrior trucks but not a true daily. I wouldn’t see anything wrong with it, but I would recommend getting new shocks once you start racing it to make sure they’re valved correctly.

[@carlos7309]

Have u had a fault at all for ur active air damn when lowering your truck?

[@MODIT]

Been thinking of going with the same kit as you based on wanting a decent ride quality. I got to ask, why is your rear so much higher than the front? Maybe its in shadow in your video, just looks a lot higher.

[@aldoshifts8395]

When I got it installed, I was coming out of town to pick up the truck. I got to the shop at 9pm and they were finishing up the truck, they told me to bring it back anytime to adjust the ride height.

[@Generallke93]

How does it ride compared to stock? Just got the Vas 3/5 and it rides rough af. Thinking of upgrading to ridetech or going back to stock and using a drop shackle. These houston roads are ass

[@aldoshifts8395]

It drives very similar to stock. These trucks just don’t ride well overall due to short wheelbase, 2wd doesn’t have enough weight in the back but the Ridetech does its best at compensating

[@Generallke93]

@@aldoshifts8395 Ahh, ok. Thanks for the feedback!

I've heard the same about the vas kit, narch on the street but best at the track!..I was going to get it but decided to go ridetech instead.

I think you 2 inch drop shackle for a 2wd and 1.5 if you’re a 4wd to get a perfect level. I would just verify what I just said
