lowering F150

Just picked up new 150. I would like to lower it 2''/4''. What is a good kit that will not hurt ride?

I suppose it's none of my business, but I just have to ask - why on earth did you get a new F-150 if you wanted something lower???

I think 2wd F 150's look great lowered. As far as kits....Ill look and see what we can get, but im sure GroundForce has one. Ill send you some brands then you can investigate witch is best for you. You must not be from Pittsburgh....you'd have to buy skidplates also lol.

Thanks for reply. I'm a Jersey boy- I will check your site and get back to you. It's getting lowered to go along with my other tweeks. I want it to be like my '93 and 2000 Lightnings and my 56 F100.

You wont find them on our site. We have close to 800 vendors and only a portion is listed. But we can get them. Belltech and Groundforce.

ground force has a 2"/4" kit with all new springs, bilstein shocks front ground force brand rear for all 4 corner's usually rounds around 1325.00.

they also have a 2"/5" kit that uses a rear flip kit and shorter shackles to raise it back up an inch and it is about half the cost of the full spring replacement kit.

Roush Performance has a 2"/3" kit with replacement springs and bilstein shocks on all four corners and a front sway bar for around 1475.00 range.

I am looking at the ground force 2"/4" and either hellwig or bell tech front and rear sway bars. I am looking at more of the handling aspect than a drop in the weeds look.

Wow your right about the Roush performance stuff. Very nice. It actually makes it handle better not just scrape your butt hehe. They are special order for us. That usually means a couple days. You are close on the price to. Im sure we can beat that though. Ive never rode in a truck like that before. Has to be sweet.

enthused, you make a good point! but not all of us use our trucks as trucks. the only reason i got a truck is b-cuz i liked the look of the 2005 scab. when my warranty is up i am gonna lower the truck and put 20-22 inch wheels and lower it about 3-5 inches, to ME they look better this way, but some may say the trucks look better lifted to the sky with big mudder tires. if i would have known about the 5.5ft bed i sure would have got that instead of 6.5ft bed to ME it looks better, granted you cant haul any thing with size in the bed but as i said b-4 it just looks better 2-ME. just my 2 cents. and i know that this ? was 4 some one else but i just had 2 add my 2 cents. thanks again!
