I did something simulR to my 99 f150. I lowered the front 2" Then removed a leaf from the rear it was still a little high in the back so I also installed a 2" lowering shackle which brought it a 1/4" to low. To help combat that problem as well as improve the ride quality and to help with the decrease in load capacity I installed a set of air shocks. MONROE makes a set of air shocks for our truck that rated between 20-+20psi. The help increase load capacity by 1200lb. When you order the set of shocks part #ma829 it comes with both air shocks that bolt right up, and thr required air line, fittings and valve to fill them for around 70.00

You just made up my mind on how to lower the rear of mine. Damn a shackle kit!

i still like it to this day but buy a shorter shock

Looks good ! We used to put the helper spring upside down on top of the stack then have to cut the bump stops to go lower haha was really bumpy and not very practical but looked cool, I think your way is better

Okay so I recently bought a 03 f150 4 door would it work for mine and what did u buy to make it drive that way and what amount did it drop to like a 4 ,5,6 inch drop or hoe much and how’d u do the front as well? Thanks
@StraightLineCyclesАй бұрын
@@arturoflores9019 the front has a 2in lowering spring, not a cut spring, and the rear has 2in drop shackles, plus the leaf spring mod, should work.
