i think its more than that. about 4-5" front and removing blocks 2", drop hangers 2" and drop shackles 2" so total 6-7" in rear

so a 5/7 drop or 4/6 whatever it is i will measure it.



i have to add 2wd u bolts to list too. when i remove blocks i need shorter bolts

amazing truck. thanks for posting it.

thats the same height i want to drop my truck.

i wish i could afford nice wheels and paint. but i cant.

i am going for OEM lincoln navigator parts. front end, seats, center console, steering wheel, floor mats, 17" alloys, maybe radio. i want it like a luxury truck. i want it to cruise on roads better, look and feel nicer.....the bench seats hurt my back too on longer drives. basically 2 door lincoln blackwood that was never made by ford.

i will. once weather gets nicer it will be complete. i will take pics along the way and ahre with all of you guys. i will post the inches of drop i get with details on parts i used


looks like i may need to adjust the pinion angle too. about 6degrees if i lower 6" in rear. should be easy to install but more $$$$ to consider
