Is DJM the only company that sells lowering kits?

I've been searching all night and it seems DJM is the only company that makes lowering kits for the F100.

I'm going to get the DJM kit but does anyone know who sells lowering leaf springs, lowering springs, and tie rod relocater?

I will also need lowering shocks.

Do I need to get a shorter pitman arm also?

In addtion to DJM, Airbagit.com also offers dropped beams. DJM and Airbagit both provide tie rod relocators with their beams.

Visit this forum sticky (by yours truly) for more info: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...mpilation.html

Lowering leaf & coil springs: Ford Leaf & Coil Springs - Eaton Detroit Spring
If it's not listed, call them to discuss their needs. Their customer service is Grade A.

Shocks... lowering shocks are not required with dropped I-beams because the I-beams only change the relative position of the spindles. For the rear, contact Shockwarehouse.com to discuss your needs. You'll need to know the measurements at full compression and full droop. Otherwise, search the DJM site for their CalMax rear shocks.. off the shelf and ready to go if you are not inclined for custom spec shocks.

Look into flipped rear leaf spring brackets for lowering the rear on the cheap... Only about $20 for new hardware.

Lastly, a shorter pitman arm is not required or necessary. Who gave ya that bad info???????

I saw the pitman arm on ebay when I searched "f100 lowering". I guess it's not needed so good for me. Thanks for the info. I'll be buying my stuff today.
