i just know i sold mine to one of bobby's friends, met up with bobby at 2920 meet a long time ago and he paid me for them, and i had bought mine from that guy on tts, that came out of his tahoe or whatever lol. i guess bobby got them back from his friend or something, i have no idea how he got them.

all im sayin is a 2wd would be better for it. there styll good looking trucks. i mean i like lowered trucks but when i think of of 4x4 i think of like offroading and hauling big and heavy things and if its lowered you cant get to much weight on them. i mean one day hope to have to have a lowered FX2 with the 5.4 blacked out and i wanna find a way to twin supercharge it

26" Wheels with 2/4 drop
Hi. I am the proud owner of my first F-150, well Mark LT, and I've got a question. What are you guy's suggestions for a 2/4 drop with 26" wheels? I've looked online and I get confused. There are complete kits, which I would assume be easier than most other options, but maybe not. I don't want to do a whole lot of permanent changes, so if you guys know of a good route to go on this, please chime in.
Thanks.

Swapping front shocks to 2WD units will do pretty near 2" in front and actually increase total travel. (I was going to do this, but then I chose a different path ... look back a page or two and see how I did it at post #251 .... https://www.f150online.com/forums/su...thread-17.html )
Then remove 2" blocks from between rear axle and leaves for 2" drop (need new U-bolts, I think I listed some in my posts, or visit Ford and get new 2WD U-bolts) and then you can use 2" drop shackles for 1 or 2 more. You'll need 2WD shocks in rear if you go for a full 3 or 4 " drop and don't want to riask damage to shock mounts with loads.
At the very least, once done, you are gonna find the front camber off and tires kicked out at bottom and they'll be toed out too much so it will need allignment.
Lots of other posts in the pages here in this thread.

I'm guessing you have a 4WD?
