I'd like to keep a nice ride (not bouncy or stiff), be able to still throw a dirt bike or something in the bed and tow a trailer if needed, sit level or a very slight rake. Also, I want it to be durable, don't want to have to replace axles, or struts in a few thousand km. How low does 3/5in setup bring the roof? Should I put bags on the back so can pump them up with a load? Or can I achieve stock or near stock capabilities with another setup?

Advice please, need some help.

Thanks Mak
Just went and measured my super crew FX2 With 4.5/5.5 and was 5'9" at the front of the sunroof, and 5'10" at the back of the cab. Hope that helps.

I have the bell tech struts setup with NO spacers in them. I had to modify the lower spring plate to clear the 4wd shafts. Belltech flip it in the rear with the slam bags. My truck sit's lower than any other 4wd f150 I have seen here or anywhere else for that matter. I'll get a Few pics tonite after work.

These 24 inch dub ballers had a bit too much offset, so I got OEM style paint matched fender flares to help them tuck. Also painted the chrome bumpers the same color for a smoother look.

^^^ Nice!! I like how they don't have a lip on the rims, makes them look 2" larger than they actually are. Any details on the drop, also what size are the tires?

Thanks guys. The drop is a belltech 3/5.5 flip kit. The rear went down a little too far, plus I haul dirtbikes and stuff so I installed a set of Airlift slambags. They are pumped about halfway up which raised the rear an inch and keeps fenders from hitting the back tires. Tires are 295 35 lexani.

I'm very happy with how it turned out. I like this old 2006 better than anything out there for 2014 so I'll hold onto it for a bit.

That does help thanks. What are you sitting on for tire/rim combo? And do you know what the height was before the drop?

Thanks Mak

Your truck looks sick with these wheels, the more I see the dub ballers on our gen trucks the more I like them, I feel like getting 22s and plastidipping mine either white or beige to match my truck, I wonder how much it would set me back though
