F150 SUSPENSION GURU
What i learned too late is that f150's wont give you the dropped look that a chevy/gmc will with just a bolt on kit. I have my f150 lowered 4.5 in the front and it still doesnt have that "chevy" look i was going for. Plus i found out my front setup is close to bottoming out and even tho i've widen the alignment holes it still wont align. Freaking sucks but oh well.
If you want low on a 04-08 djm arms and belltech struts and call it good. you will elongate the holes and you can do 5-6 no problem

well pretty much your shocks are our of the effective stroke range
yOu will need to set the truck to a 1 inch drop and then use the 3.5 arms

honeslty id ask to look at the alignment sheet. If its not aligned right you will tare out the front tires fast. If they used no spacers then warranty is voided on shock. On the 09 up no spacers provide a 4 drop not 3 inch
please look at this install guide

also if you look at the last page a 3 inch drop requires a 16mm spacer so no spacers means 4 inch drop (09 up) and straight from install sheet (your running no spacer so its like running a 1 inch drop spring)
I just hate to see shops that install these parts and don't set it up right.

I just got off the phone with the shop who lowered the truck. They said they lowered it that much because I told dealer I wanted the truck as low as the kit allowed. They did elongate the holes for the camber/caster but they are at the limit. I am going to most likely do the DJM control arms to fix camber and going with 1" or 2" shackles and a c-notch to level out rear. I think after that she should be layed out nice.
Thanks for all the input guys

Yeah I am not sure what they did then 
I will be doing a c-notch with them so I will ask and see what they can tell me about how it got so low in the front. Sorry I am not more help at the moment.
