Got my Ground Force 2/5 drop put on.

Pretty nice kit... Took me about 5.5-6 hours labor time.. longers with trips to AutoZone and other auto Parts stores. Woulda went alot faster if I had air tools...

Worst part was dropping the gas tank to get the driver's side-front leaf spring bolt out.. That sucked!... Second worst part was trying to get the leafs re-installed.. lining up the front leaf spring hole was tough.

Handles quite a bit better.. Looks great! You cant really tell from the pics but its alot lower. I have since taken off the mud flaps.. they would scrape the ground over speed bumps.
Before:


After:


Some more pics in my gallery.

drive it over some bumpy roads to get the front springs to settle. Mine only dropped 1 1/2"s on the front but after a drive over the bumpy city streets it finally came in at 2". looks good glad to see another nicely done lowered F150.

Now get rid of those steps, and get some wheels. Nice looking drop, just the right height.

I plan on getting rid of the steps..

I think Im gonna keep the wheels I have.. They look good enough for me and they're lighter than most aftermarket, chrome wheels.

Good choice on the kit (no bias here, lol). Looks pretty good. If you keep the wheels though, I suggest getting a much meatier tire if and when it comes time to replace them. It will give it a lot sportier look and make it look lower too.

Good work!

Mud flaps are gone. Fixing to get rid of the side steps.

Im running a pretty small tire now.. 28.5" tire... I think it looks prety good.. I guess I need to delete some of the old pics in my gallery so peopl dont get confused..

Looks great... perfect stance!

I have to agree with others though, I think some nice chrome rims would really set it off.

You're halfway there -- the drop looks good but you need to invest in some rims and tires to complete the job!
