Should be getting truck out of winter storage soon. Only dropped it 2" last year with AiM shackels. Question is should i just leave the AiM shackels in, or take them out and use the bell tech's that come with the kit. Also where is the cheapest place to buy the kit from, and what shocks should i use.

Thanks

 

Given that the removal and replacement of the shackles is only about a 15 min. job, I would use the entire Bell Tech kit.

I got my BellTech 3/4 kit here on the f150 online store, And I used the BellTech nitro-active shocks. I would E-mail Roger from the online store and tell him what you want. He sold RTKILLA and myself our kits. And I would definitely use the BellTech shackles, very good quality..There is some pics of the BellTech kit in my zing album, and some pics of my truck before and after the kit..Bill

Thanks for the replies. Any other one using any different shocks? Not sure which i should get or how much they run.

Thanks

 

Anyone else have any advice on the 3/4 kit and what shocks to use?\

Thanks

 

Appears the Belltech 3/4 kit gives the L about a 2/2 drop according to their data sheet. It is just coils and shakles, that's good. What about alignments etc. Does the truck align right back in. I realize their probably is not much travel left but is there any problems you've experienced since the drop. Also, about shocks, I want a very good handling truck. Are the BellTech shocks the only available with the 3/4 drop or are their others on the market. I'd like some that are adjustable for dampening.

Also, once you guys get your truck leveled and lowered. What if you want to pull a trailer or haul a small load. The *** end will be dragging. I'd like to make my truck stay level with load or not. Like the old fashioned air shocks used to do for cars. Do they have the little airbag helper type springs for these trucks once they are lowered?
