Thanks, do we use the 09-13 LCA's? If we want more than 2" drop do we then use drop struts or the 09-13 coilovers setup? Sorry, just only see 3" for the 15+ trucks. and think I want 3" drop up front.

I installed a Belltech 1000sp lowering kit on a 2015 f150 and I have a "Cali" lean. The front struts are lowered the full 3" and I'm 1/2" lower in the rear. I want to be at least level if not a 1/2" higher in the rear rake. I don't want to go any lower in the front because I'm borderline too low in the back and occasionally hit the jounce bumpers on the axle now. ALSO, I'm getting a slight vibration from about 23 to 32mph. I've checked pinion angle to the trans and its within spec. I've contacted Belltech as far as the vibration but they've suggested what I have already tried and haven't been much help with the 'Cali' rake either. I've looked into lift shackles but I don't see any options to get the level back I believe the OE shackles are 4.5 tall and the Belltech shackles are 3.5" tall. I don't want the front leaf spring shackles they offer because I was planning on installing CalTracs.

Air shocks would be the easiest fix by far for your situation. I had to put some on mine. Cost you about $80 and can have them on in an hour.

This is why Tony is the only man to get a lowering kit from. He has you measure first and will let you know what you need to do it right. I was so afraid I would end up with this issue, but thanks to Tony mine is perfect!!

Question for the guys with 4wd... did anyone have to shorten their driveshaft when they did a rear flip kit? Ive heard some guys had no issues and others had issues. Im pretty sure all the 4wd are the 1 piece aluminum driveshafts.

Tony, i bought some djm arms from you for my 15 f150. I already had belltech struts on the front. Can i remove the lower bushings and bolt mount from the belltech struts and install the kit that comes with the djm arms or do i have to go back to the factory strut?
