I am new to the site and to owning a ford, so I need some help. I use my truck to pull a trailer some and go to " The Depot" . It is my daily driver that I drive 100 miles a day, so comfort is key, but so is the aggresive drivability. For what I have is:

2007 Harley Davidson with a Saleen Supercharger
It has 24in wheels
2wd
I want it down like 2/4 or what ever would look best
I would like to get this as reasonable as I can

Thanks Jeff

jeff the 2/5 kit is what i would do.

here is the 2/4 kit you can see front came down more than 2 inches and rear still has a rake to it

usually the 2/5 kit sits about even but if you like the little rake look which many do i would just do the 2/4 kit

Hey,
Got a question.

On the 04-08 f150 if using the adjustable belltech strut at the 3" drop level do you need to "lengthen the alignment slot"? It says its not normally needed for the 2" drop but is recommended for use with the 3" drop coils. I wasn't sure because it also warns against using a 3" drop coil while using the strut at its full drop.

Thanks,

Wade

THE BELLtech drop struts are made for stock springs. For 3 inches of drop i allways use the djm set up when i can because it aligns easier. if you use the full 3 inch drop i would elongate the alignment slot

What is the djm setup and how much does it cost? If it's that much better should sell the struts and get the djm? I haven't installed anything yet since I was waiting on the rear.

Hey, we talked to each other a while back about dreams beams and a flip kit for my 1994 F250 2wd longbed. I have just got approval to buy these things and would like to know if the offer still stands. Also, did that quote of $535 come with shocks? do i need new shocks? Thank you. I'm in no hurry, so i want to plan this out thoroughly..
