Ok, well i've been usin the search feature but it hasnt helped me much. I've been lookin to drop my 02 F-150. I'm aiming at a pretty low stance (i drove a minitruck b4 i got my f-150). I'm looking at getting a flip kit and c-notch for the rear so thats ~6" right?? wat should i do bout the front, like a 4"? and btw, i have 20s on it now, so what would be the recommended tire size with no/minimal rubbing (275/45/20 maybe?.?.)? what should i do about dropping the front as well? sorry bout all the questions, im jus tryna get all the info i need.
ya know, like -components, -opinions, -suggestions, -pricing, -anything.
thanks!

Well im not as low as you wanna go but im have shackles and hangers in the rear(4in), and i think tha the flip kit is 4 as well so maybe the flip and shackles will get you 6... as far as the front 4 sounda good.. idk how you would get there. I have 3in drop springs now i have the 2in drop spindles im just tring to find the time to but them on... maybe you gould do a combo of the 2 but guys on here told me that may be too low... idk how they get that low.. i hope i helped

yeah u can do a flip kit on rear and put a notch in the frame, thats the only way ur going to get that low is with a notch, as for the front u could do lower controll arms and drop springs to do a 2inch spring and a two inch controll arm. Or u could do the spindles and springs, what ever u want but with the spindles watch the back spacing or the spindles will rub on the rims. personally i like belltech thats what i had on my chevy and now my 150. i know with belltechs flip kit u dont need shims it comes already with the corect pinion angle thats what iam going to get laters for my truck. I put the belltech pro coils on my truck the come with a 1inch spacer so u can go 3inch or 2inch and they ride really smooth on my truck.
but guys on here told me that may be too low... idk how they get that low.. i hope i helped
why would that be too low? i'm not even sure a 4" drop wit some 20s would ride too well but i hope soo....

yea, thats the flip-kit i was lookin @. so do u know how much those drop coils ran u? i'm thinkin maybe the spindles & coils. cuz someday i wanna bag it so i'll jus be replacing the arms.

Some guys are on bags here, I think they run like 265/35/22 whatever that equates to

Ill let you have them for $50 + Shipping. Sound good? im not real sure what to ask i ran them fo about a year. Do you have the 4.6 or 5.4? i think that will matter how low it will sit... im running 275/45R20 Kumho Ecsa Stx... and never had a problem with rubbing...
And the Interior is smoothed and painted... i had ford do the center peice around the sterio and A\C... and i did the rest.. ill look for my kinda how-to thread for you.
yeah if ur going to bag it later go ahead and get the spindles like i said just watch ur back spacing o yeah by the way iam using my stock shocks they seem to be okay

$50 seems pretty reasonable. where u located? I don't have either, runnin the lil 4.2 v6 .
those look good. im guessin built54 works in a paint & body shop tho.

i do wanna bag it, but i really jus wanna get lower right now lol. it'll be a while b4 a bag it. not like baggin an s-10 so u got a 3" drop up front wit stock shocks? im sure its not smooth, but u say it does ride fine right??
try toxic drop shocks all the way around if you are going that low
Im 3/4 at the moment and was 3/5
I would do coils and spindles, cost wise
and do spindles and LCAs for ride quality
flip kit should be 5-6" so dont plan on getting shackles also, and you will need a 2-3" C notch to clear 6"
Im not notched at 5" thats why i brought it back up a tad b.c it was sitting an inch off the bump stops and the smallest bump it would touch the bumpstops, but it sure did look good....

i wanna get some spindles, but the 3" coils for $50 seems to be most reasonable with my budget right now. yea i know, i dont plan on gettin a flip kit & shackles. and the notch is wat i've been lookin @ from suicidedoors (they always did good for the stuff i bought for my s-10). not too sure bout doin a bolt-in.. so in all, i plan on doin bout a 3/5... gotta get some new tires tho, ones im runnin now r too big.. (pics in gallery i think)
