Default Lowering my truck. 3/5 inch drop? Anyone done that?

Thinking about doing a 3/5 inch drop on my f150.

I've found a few kits that appear to be of good quality.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/be...rd/model/f-150 - this appears to be a good deal.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/261553761196?lpid=82&chn=ps - Im more inclined on going with this one because for the same price, I get shocks and springs, which Im not sure if that even matters.

those are the two I'm looking at. Also have another question, I currently have a 2.5 inch leveling kit on the front. If i install this kit, would I need to remove the leveling blocks, or is the lowering kit not designed to level it as well?

Thanks.

Here's mine with the 3/5 drop from Belltech. Though I only set it up for roughly a 2.5 / 4.5 drop. And to answer your question yes you would need to get rid of the leveling blocks.

Thanks for the reply!

Damn that looks good! I didn't expect it to actually lower it that low.

I've seen other pictures but this looks damn good!

Thanks for replying

Your truck looks awesome. What wheels are those?

I didn't realize how low this kit was.

So sick

Thanks! It will go lower but I prefer this stance and having enough suspension to still use it as a truck. Towing, payload, no scrubing or bottoming out, etc. I also wanted enough suspension travel to be able to optimize the truck for drag racing.

I'll post some pics of how it's set up.
