Total for the kit with shims is $660 all belltech

anything else just holler
Thanks, I'll give you a call as would prefer Fox or other shocks for the rear, also only need an additional 1" in the rear vs 2" so wondering if a lift shackle will solve that for me.

no sorry. The flip is a lift hanger and shackle. so it will drop about 2" more than what you have now.

I have a 91 F150 XLT Lariat with the 5.0 in it. I plan on using the DJM dream Beam kit for a 3/4 drop, bilstein shocks and new bushings all the way around. My question is this, what size wheels and tires can I stuff under the rear without doing any cutting? I also have a built 351 going in which will be making upwards of 570 HP, so I want to have something wide enough to give good road traction. I am wanting to go 12.5 wide at least, if not 13. Have any intel for that sir?

Looking for a lowering kit for a 18 f150, screw, 5.0, 5.5' bed, 2wd. Has fender lips and do not want the truck to look like its setting lower in the back than the front. Will possibly upgrade with air lifter bags because I will be towing 24' trailer that weighs around 7000 lbs. Interested in the bell tech 3/4.

Open to suggestions.

Anyone know of any bolt on helper bags for a 5" flip kit on a 2018 F150. I have seen someone have some custom made ones to work which I might do if I can't find a kit.
I have already contacted a few companies to see if theirs will work.
I wont be towing with the truck just want to prevent bottoming out.

Thanks

Herb
