Rear lowering kits??
 
So I'm staring at my new toy today, Dark Shadow Gray and thinking:blink: Debadge it and lower the rear, chrome wheels. This is only a start. The wife will kill me, just spent $1600.00 on tires and wheels for the diesel:whistling2:

Anyway, does anyone make such a rear lowering kit for these things???

Sorry, I can't remember is your truck 4wd? If so just remove the rear blocks to level your truck and it's a free mod. A lot of others have done this. If you debadge it be prepared to have some body work done. There are alignment holes under them. Post your truck info in your signature when you can, my memory sucks :laughing:

Well said.

Just swap the 4wd blocks for the 2wd blocks and you'll be set.
The badges will have a few holes behind them so beware.:thumbsup:

It's 2WD. I can't believe Ford still uses those mounting holes. I debadged my Dodge, all it is was automotive double back tape. Even the F150 emblem on the tailgate has holes behind it??? Dodge guys too remove the blocks on their 4WD instead of the 2" front spacer to level.
Do you guys know it you can get away with the same rear end U bolts after removing the blocks, or do you need to replace them??

You guys have been a great help...

Yeah the U bolts would have to be replaced after the blocks are removed.
Here you go, I got these off member from another forum.

They're there.

Should have clarified better, I see the ones in the recessed oval, I meant the F150 emblem to the left. Thanks.
