Anyone got some pics of lowered F1's?? Include how much it's lowered? rim size if possible? Looking to lower my 52 and put larger size rims on it.

 

 

That's a nice looking truck. Any lower and you would have to dig a hole!

 

Bagged?? That's my plan eventually. Just wondering how much of a lowering kit and wheels for now? Interested in some pics and details please....

 

modified stock suspension...

oops, sorry about the sideways pic.

 

Roper that's about what the drop I was thinking. How did you drop it your 4 inches?

 

Tire Dood that thing looks sick!! I love it. That didn't sound like too major of an ordeal? Just had to move the shock mounts up some? Just started to look into these drop axles. Honestly I'm totally new to this style truck and lowering any vehicle. Always lifted everything. I could def see my truck in the same stance you have yours. How much you got into lowering yours roughly?

 

About $500 in the front axle, that's for shipping bit ways, getting it stretched, and installing new kingpins. New main leafs were about $150 each, and the shock mounts were about $25 each. I bought some laser cut mounting tabs for the front & rear, but don't remember where I ordered them from. I did mine one end at a time... Got the front axle done, then built the rear c-notch while saving money for leaf springs, etc. It took about a year to get brakes, suspension, and steering all done. Most of that time was spent saving $$$ to buy parts.

 

It's a 3" drop total???

 

Or did it come out to more like 5"??

 

Probably closer to 5" drop.

 

That's what I'm looking for. I was hoping that wasn't too low? It looks awesome man!

 

I don't really have any problems with it being that low, just watch out for speed bumps. It does ride a little rough, but anything that low will ride rough.... Thanks for the compliments! If you have any more questions feel free to ask, this group was a huge help in getting it to where it is now.
