on the 4x4 in rear the 4 inch flip will set it up about 1.25 inches lower then what it is now. Ford used different spring rates so thats why I usually have customers measure their truck before lowering.

It's a kit that relocates the rear axle on top of the leaf springs...

if you look at the back of your truck the leaf springs are over the axle. So the flip kit will flip the leafs under the axle giving you the drop.

Now on the back of the leafs theres the shackle which attaches to the frame and in front there is the hanger which attaches to frame

This is the exact look I am interested in and am leaning towards the Ground Force 1.5" / 3" kit with 22's or 24's. I'm not all that familiar with common quirks that come with lowering kits, but it seems like a lot of people complain about vibrations in this Gen pick up , even after shimming apparently. Is this common for 1.5 / 3" drops or is it more on trucks with larger ones? I love the look, but can't say I'd be willing to deal with vibrations like that. Are there any other mods or adjustments that need to be done to accommodate 1.5/3" ?

Default 2018 FX4 lowering?

Is it possible to lower my 2018 FX4 super crew 2/4 or even 3/5? It's just way too high for this short guy and his shorter wife.
It has 20" wheels and a towing package.
Thanks

Do you have any pictures of the airbagit c notch kit installed on a 04-2010 f150. I cant seem to figure out how to bolt this thing up. I didnt want to weld and fabricate a notch but thats what it seems will happen.
