Question Anyone Have The FRPP 2/3

Anyone here have the FRPP 2/3performance drop kit for our trucks ?? I'd like to lower my truck a bit and its not that expensive....I would also like to know how it will effect the handling and ride of the truck. Thanks

Have not heard of a 2/3 kit (unless that's for a reg F-150)

FRPP/Ground Force kit is a 1"/2" for Lightning

It's a 1" front - 2" or 3" rear. (multiple holes)

I have the 1" 3" on mine. see the pics on my web page.

Oh and the rear sway bar links needs to be shortened up a bit. Which did give a noticeable diff IMO.

IMO the front is ever so slightly softer. But since it's closer to the bump stops & the springs are progressive rate... the body lean is also noticably less.

I give it a

whats the link to your gallery ??
According to McCarville Ford there is the 1-2, and they recently came out with a 2-3 now..I dunno just what the dealership told me, they said the whole kit is 175+tax for the springs. What kinda noticeable difference did you get ? Better or worse ride ? Better or Worse Handling ? Thanks for the info ??

Tom, I Havent been back since I added anything, but I think I should be o.k.....I dont have any pulley's, or a chip...just the JLP Ram Air and Magnaflow Catback. They sell a model from them that comes with a Intake, Mac Catback, and something else (I forget what)....so I'm no different then that.

At the bottom of each persons post there are buttons. Under mine you'll see a "www". Click on it and turn up your speakers.

BTW: I got mine through REM And if you search at nloc under "wydopnthrtl" you'll see two posts with many pics of my install last winter.

The drop looks pretty good on your truck. I'm thinkin for the 175 this should be a good dropkit. Whats the difference in handling ?
