Ok, what I want is a more stable truck, which is handled better in curves and straights and much better than the OEM, you feel the difference, ON ROAD road always remember is FX4, I have Bilstein HD front and rear, see in forums that you have more respect is Kit 2/4 Belltech shocks with Eibach Spring Street with Eibach Shock. Currently I have 315/70R17 tires and, for reasons of the area where I live 285/70R17, the 275/55R20 are 32 "and 285 are 32.7", ie 3/4 "should not present additional problems. No find anyone with kit KW Variant V3 coilovers, not sure if you need that expense to travel on the road and have a better command of my truck, so traveling at 200 KPH, there is my question. Nor is whether installing a KW coilovers V2 is much better than the Street Kit Belltech or Eibach. Here is where my question and request that help to define to do. avail to ask why install a DROP SPINDLE and if I can do the struts too. Advantages and disadvantages . Thanks.

The problem is that I can not get a personal opinion because I've never driven a truck lowered, from there I go to those with experience, what happens is that, as I mentioned, in forums all have lowering kit, can not get anyone with coilovers, and I can not get an idea and persuade me to spend 40 or 50% more, if you guarantee me a kit, for example, Belltech, with struts, shocks street, etc, will give me what I expect, what buy and now, but I need that experience that convinced me. I hope you understand my point and apologize. We therefore discuss, V2 coilovers are better or worse than the struts street?.

If you've got the time, I'd love to see the pictures. I'm having a hard time imagining what the HD would look like since it doesn't have the same stock stance as other 4WD trucks.

Harley AWD BellTech
The rears I used the Belltech 4" lower shackles.
Interestingly, none of the places I looked online (including BellTech) stated that the parts would work on the Harley AWD but everything bolted right up.
It took me about 3.5 hours to put the front shocks on and maybe another 1.5 hours for the rear shackles the next day.
The ride is fine. Not sure if its really any different. I haven't done anything but drive it back and forth to work so far (maybe 4 times) and now that the weather is better I have been riding.
I think I will buy the rear sway-bar and then be done.
I will try to get some pictures for you. Its nothing drastic looking, I did it for handling and can't say yet if it helped.

I went with the BellTech adjustable height shocks in the front so as to keep the same ride quality with the stock springs. They were +2" to -2" and I went with -1.5". If I even take them back off I will remove the .5" ring spacer.

Still working on the photos. I want to get one of the other F150s at work parked next to me so you can see the difference.
