Suspension for 03 F150 on 24" rims

I just bought a 2/3" drop for a 03 f150 on 24" rims. Does anyone think i will run into any problems with rubbing? Also does anyone know where I can go to get my kit installed in Jacksonville FL? Thankyou

My stock tires rub with a 3/4 kit up front at full steering lock.

Depends on your offset on your wheels, and depends on tire size, and depends on if you have coil drop or spindle drop or control arm drop

Welcome to the site tho

Like Patman said wheel backspacing, offset, width, etc all play a huge role into deciding this.

I'd install it yourself, it's not a hard kit to install. Save the money.

I know my tires are 305/35/24, I bought coils for the front and hangers/shackles for the rear. I dont have a jack or sprng compressor, is it actually that easy? Also will I be ok without drop shocks?

Well if you don't have tools than I guess you'll need to take it some place ...

you can get away without a spring compressor, I know i did it. but you will want atleast one safe jack to work with.

You could run stock shocks in the front, not the rear, but you really should change all 4 out anyways.

good luck on the hanger rivets, they are a real PITA
