I thought about lifting but I mean I never go off roading. I like where my gas mileage is at. I don’t want to lose my HP from big ol’ tires. I like the sport truck look and having 4wd helps in the winter.

Once I lower my truck in the next month (I hope, waiting on the kit to arrive then make time to get it installed) I will post pics here if the OP is cool with it. I want to change wheels but that will be for next year as to just spread out the costs over time.

What offset are the wheels? I'm curious - Love the wheels = Thinking of silver ones on my black F150!

Sorry for the late reply, Yes I did. Looked awesome but I feel that Belltechs rear flip kit leaves much to be desired. I have removed the flip kit and removed the 1" factory block and installed the 2" drop shackle. The front coil overs are awesome and those work amazing. Now I need to find a good shock that works with 3" drop as I currently using the stock shock as the bell tech one is too short.

Not to hijack the thread, but could you throw a few pics up of that setup? I was debating doing the 3" rear (block removal + shackle) w/ a 2" front by means of springs or with Belltech's complete coilover kit. I haven't seen any pics so I didn't want to be a guinea pig lol. Based on pics I've seen of the 1.5 / 3" kits, I suspect the rear may not be low enough with a 2" / 3". Your pics would help me out immensely!! Thanks
