I'd like to keep a great ride, so whatever you think would make that happen. Appreciate it man
I had the 2012 Harley Davidson f150 AWD and am looking for a 2/4 drop. If possible between 600-800.

well we could do the rear kit which would bring i tto 35.75 to 36. then in front you can do a 1.5 which would be 35.5

To be honest, I don't know too much about all of this. I guess whatever you would recommend. Between the arms and struts, do either give a slightly better ride?

What would the price difference be between the arms and struts?

Hey NorCal,

I started a thread in this section on the best handling suspension setups. Any chance you could pipe in with your thoughts for best 4wd and 2wd suspension setups for handling on 2015+ trucks? I don't see coilovers available nor LCA's for 4wd so wondering what are best options are. Geometry I would think is priority #1 for a good handling truck but would love the feedback of an expert. If you'd prefer to keep all this info in this thread and want to reply here I can copy/paste. Just wanted a dedicated thread not just for cosmetic lowering but for performance. Thanks
