09-14 F150 stock measurements
I recently went from lifted to lowered with my 2012 SCSB 4X4. I did a mild drop at first but now it looks like I will have to flip the rear leafs to get what I want. Because I went from lifted to lowered I have no idea where I'm starting from. I'm using belltech struts (2wd) in front with two large spacers (supposed to be 1.5) with a center to fender gap of 19.5. The back has 2 inch drop shackles (no blocks) and helper springs removed. This also gave me 19.5. I was going to use bags to replace the helper springs but there isn't enough room with the springs on top. I'm going to put the helpers back in (remove shackles)and do a 4 inch flip. If someone could help me with the 4 inch rear flip measurement from fender to the center of the hub it would be much appreciated. That will help me decide where to put the front.
Thanks Mike

Best I could find after searching and searching was from the ground to fender from 13 SCSB Limited 2WD. It was 36 and 37.75, and since I'm running 2WD struts and no blocks with the same size wheel and tire it should be close or at least give me a reference. I sit fender to ground currently 33.75 and 34.625 after dropping the front .5 today (19 center of hub to fender). If everything is perfect putting the stock stuff back should put it back to the 37.75 range and a 4 inch drop puts it at 33.75 matching the front. I'm sure it won't be exact so maybe I can get it perfect with the bags without putting much air in them.
If anyone has any better measurements or even true measurement for a 4 inch flip (fender to hub) the please let me know.
Thanks Mike

I didnt take those measurements before lowering mine, but a flip with stock shacles is more like 6.5 inches, not 4. I slammed mine pretty low and my front fender to ground is 30 3/4 and rear is 31 3/4 ... but I am practically on the bumpstops and need to do a notch.
