Post need some help

I ordered a bell tech lowering kit for my L and they said the lowest i can go is 2" in the back {with shackles} and 2" in the front {with 3" stock f 150 coils} I dropped the back first and it sits level. I see and here that they have used a bell tech 3/4 kit on there L's and I would like to see what else they used. I want my truck lower and to sit about level. This 2/2 kit will still have it raked. Any help would be great.

John,

Here is a picture of my truck with a Chassis Tech Lowering Kit.

3 inch drop springs in the front and the 2 inch dropped hangers in the rear.

I think it really sits very nicely.

Several of the Lightning owners in the Tampa area thought the truck looked great while I visited them are there local car show.

P/S Mine is the White Truck Parked up Front.

Matt

john, i would reccomend a 2" dropped a-arm. i know its a liitle more work but you would have the full travel of the spring you have now, not one that is 2" shorter. i just finished lowering my 97 4&6 and it rides and handles great. http://www.zing.com/album/pictures.h...3&p=4286273508 i know you don't want to go this low but all the spring travel you can save will make your ride that much better. i'm getting ready to help a friend lower his 00 this way and we'll post some pics in about a week(i hope).
