Interesting question about suspension

I've been cruising the classifieds here in SC lately and I found a 4" front and rear lowering kit complete with the I-beams but they are for a 94 F-350. Now I have a 94 F-150 XLT 5.0 AT. Will it fit?

I don't know specifics, but the first thing to check would be if the 350 was a 4x2 or 4x4. the 4x4 drop beams would be designed for leaf springs rather than coils like the f150s.

yeah it won't fit. it was for a 4x4 and i only have a sissy little 2x4. o well. the whole kit was going for 150 and i was hopping it would work because normally the 4 inch drop kit from DJM is like 500 bucks! ****!

why would anyone want to lower a F-350 4x4? .. seems like a very odd thing to do ..

I don't think dropped I beams would work very well on a 94 F350 4x4, being as it would have a straight front axle...
