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.

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.
