Hey guys this is my first post and was wondering if you can help me out. I have an 08 F150 STX extended cab 2wd and was wondering if you could tell me how to make my truck sit like the one in this picture (one in picture isn't mine)
Do it the right way and get yourself a deaver G37 leaf pack with a spring under plate kit. Then 18" stroke bypasses with a custom built bedcage. Cut holes in bed for the shocks to pass through to the bedcage and make new shock mounts to weld to the axle. Then notch the frame and weld a hydraulic bump stop can to the frame, install bump stop and a striker plate on the axle. Strap it so the axle doesn't rip your shock shafts out of your shocks, pressurize bumps to 200 psi and your good to go!
Oh yeah, I forgot a couple things. Your going to need new shackles too depending on how far forward you move your front spring hanger, anywhere from 6" to 10" long shackles. And your going to want to strap it at 16" of travel, turns out our carrier bearings don't like the angle so much when you try to get more droop travel out of it. And your going to need a new custom 2 piece drive shaft. I think that's it...
If the "problem" you have is that the front is lower then the back, folks here have added spacers to the front strut upper mounts to "even" the trucks appearance front to rear.

No no, he wants the *** to sag, so front higher.(I know, wtf?!)
Drop shackles would probably accomplish this, but since it is a fad, so would something heavy in the bed. I have some shackles in the garage I am willing to part with. IIRC they are ground force shackles and good for up to 2" drop.
