Question Ever heard of 2"/3" drop???

Have you guys evere heard or seen a 2"/3" drop before??? I saw it on Ebay by a company called Suspension Max. What do you guys think compared to all the other drops out there???? Looks tons easier than instaling a flip kit.

Im not personally into lowering my truck, but that's a good price.

EDIT: Just goes to show how over priced the leveling kits are... Almost the same price.

Suspension max

I've just ordered the 2"-3" drop from them for my 04 f150 supercab. I will send some pictures when I get it but my plans are to put some 20's on too, right now I have 18" Navigator wheels. Does anybody know what tire size I should go with. I'm thinking 275/45/20. Any suggestions?

You might even want to consider 22's -- the wheel openings on the new body style are HUGE.

I usually think most vehicles with 22's look like ridiculous "ghetto cruisers", but even I have to admit that 22's on the new F-150 look aggressive, not "pimp"....

Most of the set-ups I've seen have been fitted with 305/40/22 rubber.

ya'll need to post some pics of your trucks.

In my opinion I would run the 285/55/20s. (same size as the Roush F-150)

oh I've thought of 22's, thats what I really want. I had black 22's with chrome lip on my red '04 Dodge Ram and they looked sweet but that was when I had a J O B. I'm back in school now so I'm ballin on a budget. I wasn't planning on getting wheels for awhile but a night of drunken eBaying changed all that. The 275/45/20 tires are also much cheaper than any other size, especially 22"s, but I just want to make sure they won't look too small on my truck with the drop. I hate it when there is too much space between the top of the tire and bottom of the fender.

Hey Screw2004, do you have any pics of your ride? The 20's I got are black so I want to see yours.

Already ordered that and it came in the mail. I havent installed it yet, but I compared the 2" lowering shackles I currently have to the ones in the kit and you will gain about another 1" or so. i know it sounds stupid, but, in most cases you dont "really" get all of the drop you paid for.

So, the 2/3 drop I have will be a 2/4 drop if you do the spring clamps too.

I'll post pics after I am finished. Oh, and in case you wanna know, your new front springs will be bright red. Looks pretty good if you ask me.
