Angry Can't find a lowering kit ???

I recently just purchased a 1999 F-250 2WD w/ V-10 and want to make it a cool cruiser. I've seen a few lowered. I cant find anyone who makes a kit for the f250 2WD to lower it at all. I want to go 2.5 to 4 in front and 5-7 in back. I have purchased a set of 22 inch centerline wheels to put on it, but I cant find a kit anywhere. If you know of a place please let me know. I've checked with belltech and eibach, neither of them. anyways, I appreciate all your help.

Superduties (REAL TRUCKS) are not meant to be lowered....probably why you can't find a kit.

Play nice now. Just curious if the 22" wheels are "spinners". They are cool. Well actually no they're not. Anyway I am no help here, because basically I bought my truck to be a truck. Go anywhere, do anything, you know how it is. Maybe a flip kit for the rear, should give you ~5" drop in the rear. Now if you wanted to lift it I could probably help you out.

Oh by the way, welcome to FTE. Just be glad you didn't ask the question over at pirate4x4.com. Gets pretty ugly over there. Sorry I couldn't help but maybe someone will get back with you eventually, maybe.
Good luck,
Mike

Probably for the same reason no one makes a 12" lift kit for a Honda Civic.

I like the Wile E. Coyote reference. I hope we didn't scare him off. I can just see him now "bunch of SOB's, see if I visit their site again, ooh look at me and my big truck, think they are so cool cause they can hit the railroad tracks straight on, they can kiss my ..."
Robleeg, I, and I think the rest of us, are just screwing with you. Don't take anything said here personal. You will find a lot of really good information and, for the most part, some really good people. Get some pics when you are done and see if you can change my mind about lowered trucks.
Mike

Well there you go! I doubt it's a kit though.

Anything is possible if you have the will and the money to burn!
