Ok guys, any suggestions on lowering kits..
I was looking at the jdm 3/6 drop kit. but when I measure from the ground to the wheel lip it looks like the rear will be an inch low. so who has a good 3/5 kit. or do I just do the 3/6 and install the rear air asst bags and put some air in them to bring it up to level? Or do I do a 3/5 kit without the air bags? what is everyone doing? Ive been looking at all the different lowering posts and seeing a little of everything... l have a 2016 RCSB 2wd
Also with the 3/6 kit am I gonna have issues with it bottoming out? I see some guys are doing a c notch on their trucks.. Really don't want to do that... Thank you all for any input you can give....
I recommend the belltech kits as they offer great track record and swap out the crappy stock shocks they have 2/4 and 3/5.5 the back is 2.5" higher so 3/5.5 will be more level the 2/4 has a very slight rake with the optional sway bar your truck will ride and handle better than stock here is mines with the 2/4 and sway bar
Ok, I always love the way these regular cab trucks look with that 2/4 drop & I someday wish to end up with that set up on my future aluminum f150 (not interested in doing it to my current truck as it's old & has rust now that is only going to get worse with the yearly road salt) but I like to be able to haul stuff with my truck & I hate seeing mine squat with a heavy load as it is. What's it look like when you haul say a lawn tractor/atv/ or a load of lumber with this setup? Do people commonly add air bags to the rear or some similar setup to combat this issue & if so what's the best brand? I want a sporty lower than stock truck but I want to be able to haul & even perhaps tow heavyish things from time to time with confidence when I need to.
Not to disagree, but i'm not a fan of the belltech struts. they didn't hold up on my truck. I had to replace two of them as they started leaking oil. I finally gave up on them and went to calmax control arms utilizing the original struts and springs.

Agree, one of my struts leaked and something on that kit squeaked to no avail. I kept the oe struts on the new truck.

What is the part number for that 2/4 belltech kit?I was looking for it on webpage but can't find it. I have a 17 rcsb will this fit without issue?

Awesome set up man! This is what I just got 2017 f150, I'm looking to level the rear-end without any cutting. Any suggestions? Also what wheel and tire size are you running?
Hey there belltech 2/4 and the awesome thing is that its adjustable to a 3/5.5 drop if you want more low down the line regarding wheels they are the oem lariat sport on a 285 50 20 nitto 420s
