anyone lowered???

Yes it is, the front is lowered 1.5 inches with springs made by deaver springs. The back has the djm shackle and hanger combo but the hanger is on the middle of the 3 setting giving that back 4 inches of drop. It was the height I wanted when I had the stock 16's on it but when I put the 22's it lifted it back up so now I am kind of wishing I went with the djm dream beams.

6.0 the springs were like 325 shipped. Someone could have switched from the factory springs to the deaver springs and i would have not noticed anything but the ride height was different. i have stock shocks in the front still and it rides just like the factory springs. If anyone is interested in buying them let me know im thinking about getting the dream beams so i can go lower. email me ejkrueger@gmail.com

What product are you looking to get from chassistech? I don't know if they still have the front drop springs listed on their website but I had bought the springs from them and got the run around for about 2 weeks and then they finally tell me that they donnt make them and it was a error on their website.

Well done sir.
eeclipse16, your ride looks good so far, subscribing to see how it turns out. Nice choice in wheels too. I wouldn't have expected 22's to look that clean, but they've still got enough tire to look functional. How does it ride? How is the handling affected?
I'll admit to having a preference for raised SD's, but won't turn my nose up at a lowered truck if it's well done. As for complaints I read earlier about towing with a lowered SD... I was never much of a fan of "show trucks" that had the inside of the bed gutted (and made useless) to make room for suspension or stereo, but I saw some a few years ago that were really cleanly done. One in particular caught my attention because it was bagged, but not excessively. The adjustable height in the rear made hooking up the trailer a breeze, and with the right pressure and stiffer sway bars, it actually improved the towing. (It was an older car-guy show from years back - where instead of installing a fish tank in the dash or some other nonsense like the newer shows - they were making usable modifications to vehicles. The road test after the build included actually towing a loaded trailer. Would love to know where to find a copy of the show if anyone else remembers what I'm talking about.)
Thanks also for the great pics.

I think that if I were to really lower any truck, I'd take a 2wd F-150 with the short, flareside bed, and an extended cab, lower it decently, drop in, or S/C the 5.4L, and crap like that. I just don't really see a point to lowered Super Duties, because they will never handle that great, or be exceptionally fast.

My wheels? I'm pretty sure they are -18 of set but not 100% so don't quote me. And I think they are 10 inches wide. I will check if they are marked on the inside later.
