Belltech knuckles and keys up front, remove factory block in the rear and get 2 inch shackles for the rear. Talk to Kris at TSS, she will get you squared away. you will need shocks too.

MJMoog34, great job on your truck, look forward to seeing it dropped. I dropped mine, but only 2/3 coils and shackles, the front came out perfect but the back end looks like it could use another 2 inches to match the front and be level. I like the stock wheels and am going to a slightly larger tire, just enough to fill the wheel wells.

Crappy cell phone pic, but it shows what I am talking about:


01 gt f150, any ideas on getting it lower in the back?

If you removed the blocks than I would get Lightning leaf springs. Did you get the hanger and shackle combo kit or just Shackles? If you did just the shackles than the hanger would give you what your looking for. The rear end of our trucks is the same between 4 and 2 wd with the exception of the Blocks that come stock. My truck is 2wd with a 4.5/6.5 Drop. Spindles
coils, leaf springs, Shackles and Belltech street performance shocks.

Well that depends in my right foot!

But I've gotten around 12mpg with it. So it's nots a big drop than what I was gettin before.

I'll do the grill surround and clean up the lines on the rockers, probably even dimension it correctly, later tonight. Hopefully between my review session and men's league. Anything else you want done?
