Default lowering f150 help

im new to this forum. any im not sure if this goes here but im looking at a 95 f150 short bed regular cab. its a hot rod and i think the way the rear sits so high looks goofy. anybody got any recommendations for this? ive been thinking about drop blocks or shackles. just wondering whats the best way to do it for the best ride since its a daily driver. i dont like them slammed just a nice street stance since it will never hit the dirt,

Bell Tech? DJM? A shortbed, regular cab, 2WD is what I was actually looking for when I found my '95 Xcab 4WD so I pretty much got the opposite! lol I wanted to make a lowered hot rod truck myself with some hot motor mods...sort of like a Lightning clone but more personalized for me (like my black '69 Lightning that Ford never made!). Anyway, surf the net. You'll find what you're lookin' for. Keep us posted with pics too!

From airbagit.com

It was crap though and I had to modify a lot for it to fit to my likings. I got a new one from Jegs though that looks to be of better fitment. Only $140 shipped

I would think 5.0L initially but that seems too obvious as you're asking us to 'guess' so, I'm gonna say a stroked 5.8L...

I wish. Its a 5.0 .40 over freedom patriot aluminum heads, roller rockers, b303 cam, edlbrock performer intake intake, 24lb injectors, bbk adjustable fuel pressure, speed tech pistons, flowtech fulltube headers. Flowmaster 40s true dual dumped behind cab . Its quite loud and turns heads.
