i want to lower my rear end but mine is a 2 wheel drive. (errrr 1 wheel drive) just mainly cause the back has way to much air space. dont get me wrong i am not into slammed cars or truck (dont knock people that do however) but I just want to get rid of some air space and have it level. Ford racing has a kit for it for 119 bux and it does have shims with it... but i wonder what the quality is like since i have seen cheaper ones but most of the cheaper ones do not comes with shims.

if anyone has any advice on different quality of ford racing vs ??? please let me know.

Ford racing was built for a ford by Ford. That will almost always be better than another aftermarket company.

and most already sit 2" lower naturaly

Your truck bro, but personally I feel bad for lowered trucks, especially a 4x4. She wants to get dirty!
