Default 2013 Fq50 2-3 drop

1) what year truck? 2013
2) 2wd or 4wd? 4wd
3) how low do you want to go? 2 - 3 drop
4) budget you want to be in? $400
5) belltech or djm item or both doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.

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

Default 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've done many.

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

Front measurement is 37 1/4"
Read measurement is 40 1/4"
Measured from ground to fender lip.

The brick is a little over an inch thick.

So 4 inch drop would be 5.25. So rear 35 and front 2 inch arms do 2.25 so would be 35 all around. That kit djm arms with rear belltech 4 inch flip and shocks is 815 shipped


The 3/5 kit would be 40 less

Yup I've used crown since I used to sell them and had bushing problems with shackles and would have to send back for warranty. So I no longer deal with them

I had ones I installed 8 months,ago customer cane back about month ago and bushing had play.

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.
