Default Lowered f150 help
Hey guys I have a 2000 F150 with a 3/4 Drop from Belltech.

I need to know what to do if i want to lower it even more without using blocks. Should I just throw some control arms in the front and use lowering leaf springs? Gimme advice!

Lowering your truck can get a little expensive..I use to be a part of the mini-truck scene for many years. You can get a lot of advice for your truck by visiting any mini-truck site such as www.blacktoprevival.com or www.s10forum.com most of these guys have full size trucks that they lower as well..Leaf Springs for the rear is the best way and yes control arms and shorter shocks for the front..IF you want the quick but cheap and nasty way you can heat and cut your coil springs in the front and remove one of your rear leaf springs from the back..hope this helped some man, send us some pics when you get this done.
