How is alignment with the struts or coil overs and spindles? I’m looking to do one or the other with my spindles to dial in the front.

I was able to get my camber and toe perfect but it is almost impossible to get caster in spec. Also note that my lower control arm bolt holes have been elongated

I have maxtrac spindles and wondered how his alignment was mixing belltech and maxtrac.

What size wheels do you have on the truck, did you need to trim the ball joint stud and were you able to use the brake dust shield

Any wheel smaller than 22” needs ball joint cut and dust shield can’t be used.

If I recall you used the Maxtrac 2" drop spindle, I was curious what size wheels do you have (are the 20" ford factory wheels or after market), did you have to trim the lower ball joint stud. I have a 2020 F150 wanted to stay with a 2" drop, but based on all the research I did, Maxtrac and belltech 2" drop spindles need the lower ball joint stud trimmed for the Ford 20" factory wheels to fit and Maxtrac you can't reinstall the brake dust shield. I'm between the drop spindles or go with the IHC upper lower control arm 3" front drop using the factory front shocks. Any feed back you can give would be helpful. Thanks Pete

I used this kit from Belltech. I like how it turned out but I was prepared for the rear drop being 5 1/2 inches and had helper bags ready to install at same time. Wheels are 24”
