Help on an unusual lowering request
We have a client that needs an 07 F250 4x4 lowered at least 3" in front and 5" in rear to facilitate access from a wheel chair. We have thought about modifying front springs and removing rear block, looking for a better suggestion. Any products available?

I would think that removing the block is the simplest and safest way to go in the rear. However, I have no idea what to do on the front. Five inches is a long way.
Also, depending on the customers needs, a lower profile tire could give you some drop and also give a pretty cool look on a lowered truck. Wouldn't work well in an off-raod application, but if you are lowering the truck anyway . . . .
Just my thoughts.

I'm trying to see why he's buying a 4x4 and lowering it.. I understand the wheel chair access.. That 4x4 wouldnt do much for him if he got stuck..
Springs could be cut.. Bout only way.. Maybe air ride system to lower/raise the vehicle..

These guys claim to have a lowering kit for an F-350.
