Default 2012 F150 4x4 lowered

I finally got my truck lowered this weekend. I used Belltech front drop struts, and Belltech rear shackles with new Belltech shorter shocks.

That looks great! I need to lower my 2013. Did you do the work or have a shop do it?

Thanks guys... I love the way it turned out... Looking to get some air lift helper bags now, anybody know exactly what bags will work now that it's lowered??

Welcome to the lowered 4x4 club.
Truck looks fantastic, and even though black (which I don't usually like), the rims look great on your truck. Very nice look. I can't wait to do my wheels in a few weeks.
(Look through the lowered section about the bags. Many discussions over the last 4-6 months...)

If its only a 2 inch drop in the rear just get the standard setup from airlift. If its more than 2 they make a specific setup for dropped f150s

Before I lowered the truck, when I hooked up my trailer the rear dropped 2"... So I can only assume that now after lowering when I hook up my trailer, the rear will drop another 2" which would be REALLY low. I have not touched the bumpstops yet, but even driving without my trailer I can feel it hit the bumpstops over certain bumps...
