F-150 Drop Question
 
Right now I just have 2" drop shackles on my truck. What I really want to end up with is a 2/4 or possibly a 4/6 drop, but I can't find anywhere whether that would require welding. So, my question is, will either of those drops require welding of any sort?
Thanks!

2/4 no welding.

4/6 the diff be riding the frame in the rear quite often and the front tire will rub on top of inner fender over big bump.

I have djm 3/5 kit and it's great(no welding)...but need helper bag if towing or loading stuff

I have Belltech kit 908SP. Gives you the ability to ajust the front from stock to a 3" drop in 1/2 increments. The rear drop claims 5" but it is actually 6". I played with mine till I got exactly what I wanted. Which was 2.5 up front and about 4.75 in rear. No issues with towing or a load. However the heaviest thing I have tow'd is 2 Harleys, 2 mountain bikes, luggage for 3 people for 8 days, some tools, and of course the 3 people lol.

Hey Blown Ford nice truck! Thanks for the replies guys.
I like the idea of the adjustable kit. I think the 2/4 will be for me though. 3/5 also looks nice without going too low.
