I was wondering if it was possible to drop a 4x4 F150? I've tried scanning through the post but found no help?

 

probably, but uhm... that would be a sin.

 

It'll be easy on the back, but you would still have to alter the bump stop. The front will give you problems. Take a look up front and you'll notice that the front bump stop is pretty darn close as it is. Lowering it anymore would give you zero suspension travel. I've not seen any "Kits" to lower a 4x4, but you would have to do the same basic thing the lift kits do, and that's move the entire axle/A-frame assembly as one unit.

Interesting thought however..........

 

Many ppl on the board have talked about this...there IS a kit out there, but i'm into the lifting really, not so much the lowering, so i'm not familiar with it at all...sorry, i'm no help.

 

What's up guys,
I have a 01 4x Screw.
Thought about lowering it also. Just too much work
to turn it into something it was not designed to be.

So I put some 18" 285's Toyo's / Helwig sways /stock height
So I have the performance of a low pro...yet with the durability of a 4x. ( and hell, the way I drive)

Remember, no matter how nice we make them look on the outside...they are still what they are...rugged work trucks!


Late....

 

Found it...its Belltech that makes the lowering kit for the 4x4s on our trucks...if youre still interested check them out...

 

Umm, "drop" the truck at my house, I'll torch everything thats 4x related off, weld it to my truck, and put the 2wd **** on there.

 

Hey! That's not such a bad idea - Before i bought my ride i was also trying to get info on it - no luck so went with a 4x2 and ended up lowering it any way. In theory, wouldn't it work like the quatro? having the 4wd would make make it a better performing truck, but you would need the lower center of gravity to perform like a sport truck. Now to just figure out how to deal with weight distribution - sand bags in the bed? How about rice for the ricers?

 

i dont know how much you want to lower the truck,but check out wmsracing.com.they have a kit to lower a 4x4 expedition.i would think it would be the same.
