Call me stupid but-

Why isn't anybody using drop spindles in the front.
I don't recall hearing of anybody doing that.

They make drop spindles for the F150, but they are for big drastic drops like a 4/6 or something like that; to put the truck on the ground with some bags.

belltech

Belltech makes them for us. It's a 3" drop on a stock truck or a 2"drop on a lightning. I did the 2" Belltech coils and a set of adjustable cambers. Rides nice and the wheels don't bow at all. The cambers are from NAPA and you need 2 sets. They adjust -2 to +2 and cost like 14 bux each I think. I may do the spindles also later but that is 5 inches of drop on my truck...seems like way too much so maybe not. But yeah...they exist

Stupid Butt here again,
Do you not loose some ride softness with changing the coils?

I believe StreetKing posted a couple stabs at lowering his L. Think the last was with drop spindles in front. Check the NLOC and here for his posts.
