Post need help lowering

I am thinking about lowering my truck. Not so much for looks, but more for handiling. I would like to try a road course. I would like input on the best kit that would improve handeling. What about the rouch kit? and were can I get it.

The Roush kit is available to lower the lightning which I beleive includes new springs for the front. I don't know what they do with the rear but all in all the kit is fairly expensive.

I went a different approach. John R. Spring and tire. They cut off a portion of the front springs and re-arched the rears. The truck has no difference in ride quality but does seem to corner better. They did a fantastic job on filling in the wells at a cost of $300.00

1.5 in. front
3 in. rear
3/4 in. rake

That's a tough question... So a search on "Roush" and "So-cal speed shop".

You may want to try a road course with the stock setup... see: https://www.f150online.com/f150board...ML/005761.html
