I can't believe Ford made that 2014 suspension for one year only, what were they thinking?


I appreciate the offer Tony, but to be honest I am just not crazy about swapping that lower arm.


I REALLY was hoping someone would do an adjustable strut like a coil over so I could set ride height where I wanted it.

Front are lowering struts and rear flip kit with new shocks. Any questions just ask. Thanks for waiting guys.


With this kit will it make the wheels slanted in?

I disappointed with what they came out with. No spindles so now have to change the geometry of the front end. I spoke with belltech and this kit only works on short bed, 5 1|2 foot bed. And only at a 5.5 inch drop. So the truck sits flat. Thought since it took so long there would be more choices. This kit does nothing for me does not even fit my truck

ive done more than my fair share of the 04-07s spindels on the f150. Loss of turning radius and pusing front tires out ill pass. Only difference with longer bed is will need pinion shim for vibration

I have always used belltech spindles on all my street rods. This is my first truck. Did not realize the problems with the one for the trucks. I guess I will have to rethink things. Thanos

Tony, I'm back and forth on lowering my truck or installing running boards. My '15 SCrew 5.5' 2wd 5.0 with 17's is a biiiitttt taller than my '73 F-100 LWB 2wd. Getting in isn't a problem so much as getting out. And getting out causes the bolster on the driver's seat to collapse, it was a rental truck prior to my buying it and has 26k on it and signs are starting to show. My '03 SportTrac bolster started to deform and my old '00 Exploder wore down to the metal frame. both these trucks were bought used as well.


The price on this new kit is right for me, a bit more $$ than running boards, but not outlandish, and I have access to a lift to install. I read about vibration problems with various kits. I don't want to have to hunt down a solution, I want the Ron Popeil of drop kits, set it and forget it.


Also, does the ride quality suffer as far as straight line driving? Bumps and expansion joints? I know it'll handle better in the twists, but I don't want a lumber wagon.
