LOL Sweetheart, that is Javier's truck (poolman) I took that picture remember? When you showed it to me last night I didn't make the connection either :what: Guess Alzheimer's is kicking in :doh: Atleast we're going down together :cheer:

Thanks,
Vivian
 
The only way I can think about lowering the front of a 4x4 would be to swap out to lighter springs (i.e. if you have the 6000# springs or 5200# springs maybe swap to the 4800# springs up front) and the rear is easy.

Never get it as low as a 4x2.....but a bit lower to make some 22s and lo pros look better.



As for Dalpilot's truck.....I believe it's just stock height??

Rich's truck is low.....but it could be lower :D

Tim has a DR mini kit. Ask him how the install went LOL LOL
 
couldn't you do a spring under maybe with the front and rear axles?

On the front....you only have so much room before your diff will contact the engine crossmember.
If you go soft enough on the springs.....you'll damn near be riding on the bumpstops anyway.

That...and the 05+ trucks are coil springs.....so no spring under there :D

For the rear....the F-250 has a ~2" block and the F-350 is ~3.625". So, pulling the block will most likely take you as low as you need to go to match up with the front.
 
I'm getting ready to switch my front end to coil-overs. I'm going to grab most of the components from a 6" lift and just custom make the links. I will keep you guys posted as to how much lower we can go. I'm doing it for a softer ride not for a lower ride.

He did the minipack install without removing the trac bar :hehe:
 
He called me after it was done whining....first thing I asked...."did you take off the track bar?" He said no....and I started laughing. LOL

Oh yea...the truck pictured here...I got to see it in Florida...it's gorgeous in person.
