I believe BellTech makes the most drop for the L's. They have a 2/3 drop which i have, it is a bumpy ride, but not bad. And there is the 3/4 drop, which is what I want next, it's pretty low, but it looks mean.

Bye the way if you get the belltech, don't get the nitro-drop shocks, they have another shock available, i can't remember the name, but belltech makes it.

I did a 1/2 drop.Very happy with the look and I clear(just barely) all curbs.
Here is a pic of mine next to a stock height L .

wait, maybe I have the 1/2 drop ... my truck had the drop on it when I bought it, and mine just barley clears the curb, and it looks just about like yours Vinnie.
Vinnie, does your truck slope towards the front? Mine looks to be about 1 inch higher in the back, I want to level it out, maybe an additional 1" drop in the rear I guess ...

im just going with the eibach 1/1.5, just enough to improve looks, and handling. but it doesn't sacrifice ride quality. it actually should probably improve a bit.

I just did the 1/2 Belltech drop. It's pretty low in the front now, scrape in and out of my driveway if I'm not careful....JR

Does like the 3/4 actually only lower the L's 2/3. Or does it lower them 3/4, and other fords even more?

My truck has a 2/4, and its lower than my dads stock L.
