Hey everyone, I have a 2013 F150 2wd XLT and I am wanting to do a 3/5 drop on it but I have a few questions:

1: on DJMs website it shows there drop spindles as 2 inch or 3 inch drop spindles, but on some other sites I've seen them listed as 2.5 and 3.5 so I was wondering if anyone knows how much they actually will drop my truck?

2: in the installation instructions on DJMs site they say that for the 3.5 drop spindles that I will have to go to a shorter front tire so it doesn't rub, does anyone know if that is true?


Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, John.

I do a lot of these trucks locally and also on here many kits sold so here we go

1) its 2.5 or 3.5 LOWER control arms not spindles they say 2 or 3 but you will get 2.5 or 3.5 about depening on which arm you go with

2) its drop control arms and I would need to know what size tire you have on the truck now and what wheel to tell you if will rub or not.

my tires are 265/60R18 and they are about 30.5 inches tall.

If my tires will rub with that kit, could you suggest any other 3/5 drop kits that would still retain my stock struts/springs in front and stock leafs in back???

djm uses your stock springs/shocks in front and stock leafs in rear.

those tires wont rub

That's the best news I've gotten all day, thanks.

I won't have to C-Notch my frame for the 3.5/5 drop will I?

have you measured your truck> before i install/sell a kit you need to do this because many times a 5 inch drop in rear is lower than the 3.5 in front especially if you dont have a block in rear.

I haven't measured it yet, but I will as soon as I get home from work this afternoon.
When I measure it, should I just measure from the ground to the top of the wheel well in front and back on both sides?

NORCAL SS

yes from groudn to fenderlip. Front should be like 35 to 37 and rear 38-39
