how low can i go

how far can i lower the L before i have to c-notch the frame. I really don't want to do that. I want my L as low as i can get it. Every vender i call that has a kit for the f150 says it won't lower the L as much as it would a regular f150. say there kit is 3/4 on the L it will only be 2/3. i would like to go 4/5 or 4/6. but don't want to notch the frame.......

Thanks
Brandon

The BellTech 3/4 actually lowers the rear of the Lightning 4".
2" from the shackles + 2" from the hangers.

This is as low as you're going to be able to go without C-notching the frame. At this height, it bottoms on hard bumps.

3" is as far as you will be able to lower the front.
The BellTech kit only gives you 2", though... Gives you a reverse rake. Not a good look.

You could do the Bell Tech 3/4 kit and also add lover front control arms. I think DJM sells a good set.
