Lowering my F150 for free! Helleanore pt.32

Is in this episode we take drastic measures to lower my 1997 F150.

[@christophertorres9568]

I have a question if I Lowered my 2000 ford f150 do I have to get custom wheels for suspension

[@StraightLineCycles]

I still have stock 16s, but i plan on getting lightning 18s soon.,and the 16 dont rub, don't know about the 18s.

[@user-uw5mv1kb5t]

Did the 18’s ever rub curios i recently bought a 1997 ford f150 single cab plan on doing the same thing

[@user-uw5mv1kb5t]

@@StraightLineCycles also what size tire did you go higher or lower if so what size

[@StraightLineCycles]

@@user-uw5mv1kb5t still on factory 16s, might stay with a sleeper look, but lmr.com has the lightning wheels i want.

[@ottobauner9828]

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

[@Nunya_Beezwax]

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

[@StraightLineCycles]

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

[@DktheWelder]

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

[@StraightLineCycles]

Thank you sir 😁

[@starky6809]

Looks 10x better. Goodjob

[@StraightLineCycles]

Thank you sir 😁

What socket and wrench do you use to remove the center leaf spring on this model and I have a 2wd on my f150 similar year u have in this video💯

[@StraightLineCycles]

I believe it was a 14 or 15mm deep socket

[@arturoflores9019]

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

[@StraightLineCycles]

@@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.

[@manueljimenez711]

Cuantas pulgadas baja quitandole el muelle solamente ?

[@StraightLineCycles]

it was about 2 inches

[@manueljimenez711]

@@StraightLineCycles entonses tu la bajaste 4 pulgadas , 2 pulgadas del luw kit y 2 pulgadas del muelle que quitaste ?

[@lightfoot652]

How did it ride before the leaf spring and after removing it? Need to know so i can do it also depending on your answer. Thanks

[@StraightLineCycles]

@@lightfoot652 pretty much the same, i also have lowering shackles .

@@StraightLineCycles tku again, forgot to mention mines is 2010 hope these fit

[@blacksunshine6026]

Is this the 4x4 version that's what I have and wondering if it'll affect the 4x4 abilities if I try this on my stock suspension

[@StraightLineCycles]

This is the 2wd version.

[@3lcoyote_]

Can I do this on my 03 4 door and will it bounce to much on the road ?

[@StraightLineCycles]

Without the right size shocks it may bottom out too much.

[@rogeliovergara2108]

Will it still lower if my leaf spring is under the axle on a flip kit

[@StraightLineCycles]

Not sure, but worth trying.

[@mikerobles3899]

I want to do this too!

[@StraightLineCycles]

It can be very dangerous, i had concrete blocks to use as stands, which worked perfectly, also very flat concrete floor.

[@mikerobles3899]

I got a question how was your handling after you did that cuz mine I installed a rear sway bar

[@StraightLineCycles]

@@mikerobles3899 not bad but i want a rear sway bar as well.

Where you get that dash

@@StraightLineCycles nice 😮‍💨

[@VictorLopez-li3em]

Will it not bust if I was to do donuts and strong turns?

[@StraightLineCycles]

Well, mines still intact, no problems yet. But if you plan to do a lot of that, then maybe upgrade to something better 🤔

[@VictorLopez-li3em]

@@StraightLineCycles yeah I mean I am a year late and you still are driving it like that, might do this next week but mines a 99 extended cab so I’m worried about the weight

[@StraightLineCycles]

Try drop shackles you might like it.

[@jpherrera4254]

I have a question what socket size do you use to remove the center bolt from the center leaf spring

[@StraightLineCycles]

For me it was just a pin.

[@jpherrera4254]

Okay but can I send you a picture of the center leaf spring bolt on the center
