Yes it does look "f"ing awesome. How much is it lowered? What size rims? That's the stance I'm looking for. Very sharp truck man

Lowered about 4" maybe? Narrowed crown vic front end and explorer rear. The wheels are 18 x10" rear, 18 x 9" front. I'd like to get the front a bit lower, but the wheels are not tucked into the fenders as much as I would like.

Looks fantastic ! . The front wheels are located as a result of the crown vic IFS. IMHO you could get narrower wheels and smaller tires up front which would lower it a bit, but also tuck the tires in a bit. I had problems with my front tires contacting the fender when turning. I have a Mustang kit in mine. I went with a smaller tire, but I still get some contact on a tight turn. You may run into the same issues. That's a 51, 52 right? Do you have F-1 stock fenders? I have s stock F-1 fender on one side and an F-2 on the other. The F-2 side never makes contact, the F-1 fender does. Not trying to be a buzz kill, your truck look really great, much to be proud of, I just wanted to give you a heads up to something that might happen. It's better than hearing that scraping noise after a new paint job. That's what happened to me.
