Hello,
I don't want to spend a ton of money. I want a 2 - 3 inch drop with the stock ride quality. And quality parts where I do not need to worry is a shackle/coil spring will break. I want to be around $400, willing to spend more depends on quality.
Thanks,
Jeff

3 front 5 rear drop
I'm wanting to lower my 2013 f150 xlt xtr 4x4.
I want to drop 3 inch front and 5 inch rear.
I've been looking all over the Internet and can't find a complete lowering kit for my desired height.
I'm looking to get coils shocks and flip shackle for the rear leaf Springs.
What would be the cost (CAD) and what's maximum rim and rubber for offset that will work without rubbing the fenders or needing to roll the fenders.

I need to know
1. Ground to fenderlip measurments.
2. Thickness of lifting block.
Many times on 4x4 5 inch rear will sit lower becuase there's a lifting block so makes it 6.25 drop. Usually indo a djm 3 front and belltech rear 4 with shocks but I need to know what your truck measures first.
22x9.5 38mm offset 285 45 22 works well

Measured from ground to fender lip.

Since I install and sell these kits I try to stay away from stuff I dont like selling. If it works for you great, but I will just stuck to the djm or belltech shackles at this time.
