If you want to lower the truck, then lower the truck. It's YOUR truck. Don't let anyone try to talk you out of something you like.

Leveling is not always up! You can get some lowering shackles for the back to lower it 2 inches to make it even with the front. If your not going to put bigger tires on it then I might consider going with that! Idk, its your choice just offering my 2 cents..

whats the lowest you can go with a 4wd? (here comes a stupid question)... Mine I can change from 2wd to 4wd hi/low is that what you guys mean as having a "4wd" truck or do you mean like my Explorer where its always on 4wd?

The explorer is All wheel drive ant the f150 is 4 wheel drive.

First there are NO "stupid questions"

Some of the 06 Harleys are also AWD.
A Ground Force kit (#9966 I think), will let you lower your truck 2" ft & 4" rr (actuality 3.5").
DJM makes a real nice kit. Check out there web site.

There are limits to how low you can go on a 4x4 because of pinion angle and all that crap. I would say a 4/6 drop on a 4x4 is the most. For those wanting to even out their ride, check out the rear end. I was looking into the leveling kit for a while and then waited. While doing my brakes I noticed 2" blocks bwtween the springs and axle. Wouldn't/shouldn't that level it out if I took those out of the back? Just another idea.
