Lowered 2015 F150
The Djm kit uses a lower control arm to achieve the front drop correct? So does it reuse the stock coil spring?
Yes, in another thread someone told me belltech has released their front struts that would do it as well. After measuring it seems to be even like it is though.
I don't want to destroy my new truck, so I'm going through the trouble of having this done. I purchased a brandy new rear drive shaft for my truck at the local Ford Dealer for an amazingly inexpensive price of $380, and after much hunting, have been able to find someone to shorten, weld, and balance the shaft for about $100. The company I'm using to do the mod to the shaft is Mitchell Differential in Shrewsbury, MA. I called places all over the country and the one place that I was able to find who said they would be happy to do the work on my brand new aluminum drive shaft assembly was them, and they end up being only about 1.5 hours away, which is completely worth the drive. I actually have an appointment this upcoming Friday morning to have this done while I wait. I was told it would take about an hour to do, which is simply awesome. The guy I spoke with on the phone was Nate Mitchell and he was very friendly and eager to do the job.
I'll report back on my experience at Mitchell Differential, but I'm honestly thinking that I'll have the flip kit and lowering springs for the front installed by my local Ford Dealer. This way I know that everything is lined up in the back. I'll report back on this as well, but I'm also fully expecting to have to machine a set of suitable bump-stops for the rear, since the clearance will be minimal. As no one else seems to have posted anything about the install of their kit, I'll post pictures of mine when it's done as well.
Im wondering How are the 24's working for you? My 2015 has the 2-4 kit from mcgaughys, bell tech street stocks on the rear and 24x10 with 305/35r24 tires. I find that I'm getting a shaking coming from the front and rear when hitting square edge bumps in the road. Ive never run 22s and wondering if the shaking is coming from the wheels or the suspension. I had an 2005 crew with the Saleen 23s wheels and mcgaughys kits and it did not have that shake over bumps.
That is a different shake that I understand. My tires have been road forced and are in great shape. when I hit a bump it feels like the bump is making the wheel shake up and down rather then a smooth fluid movement.
