Default Lowered 2013 Platinum with 24 inch wheels

I got my kit from Tony on here
https://www.f150forum.com/members/dj...h-direct-9059/

I removed the rear block (1.25) inches and 2 inch shackle and shocks in rear
Front was drop struts lowered the front about 3 inches.
Added rear rear sway too

The rear is around an inch higher than the Front still but I think it looks great and the aerodynamics and lines of the truck agree with me IMHO.

Tony was very helpful and patient through out the process from figuring out what I wanted to notifying me when the package ship and most importantly when issues/questions during installation popped up. So far so good... Highly recommended

...Love it. Stylish drop. Truck just looks so fluid now. Like you poured it out of a bottle. And the rims just seem to work with your setup.
Well done.

Sick truck man, I have a 2013 f150 as well and had a quick question for you. What is your avg mpg with your current set up? I'm debating about getting 22in or 24in rims but don't want to compromise the miles per gallon. Oh, and the tune from Livernois what you think about it? Thanks in advance, appreciate it.

Ok...not to steal the thread- because I love how the truck looks now.....but...
have you noticed differences in mpg from:
- changing to the bigger tires
- changing the tune to Livernois.
What did you get before/after each mod?
Sorry to steal here (and I already told you how sweet she looks in another thread...!!)
And your truck is a 2wd- correct? I'm asking, because I don't get mileage like that unless I barely breath on the gas peddle. I too have been seriously considering a tune, because I know there is more to be offered by the 3.5...you can just feel it.
Appreciate any feedback- we can now go back to admiring the drop...

Platinum28, what setup did you get from Tony? I am in the middle of talking to him about DJM, KW Coilovers and the like. I am also going to run 305/35/24 on a 2013 FX4 and your ride height looks just about right.

PS - sweet ride

Thanks, Mike
