Is this set up with the Flip Kit and lift hangers? It doesnt mention if this truck has the lift blocks in any of the steps.

Does anyone know exactly what was used in this project besides the regular 3.5/5 kit? DJM's Tech is telling me that it wont work because they are different, but my Ford Lincoln Mercury dealership parts/service department say the F-150 and Mark LT suspension is identical (which is what I knew, but confirmed anyway). So DJM isnt telling me what was done to that truck to give it that stance, and being a rookie to trucks i cant tell by the write up and pictures. Any help please, im ready to buy and Stylin Trucks is offering me a great quote so far that I really want to take advantage up asap.

Im planning on the 23" Saleens... Im starting to think the 3.5 in the front might be too low if thats what it does to a 4WD. I could be wrong but seems like I would expect rubbing issues.

i think the harleys come with a 45 series sidewall on 22's if you did a 40 series tire for the 23's they would be the same height

That would be great, if it doesnt change much with the 23's.... what do you think the difference is between a Harley and a regular 4WD? If you see here on all the different types of kits, they say "Finished height may vary when used on Harley Davidson models."

Rear kit is designed for vehicles with out factory lifting blocks. Using rear flip kit on vehicles with rear blocks will drop further and require additional parts to achieve desired height.
Finished height may vary when used on Harley Davidson models.

cause the harleys come with the blocks thats all i can think of i used the djm 3.5-5" kit but my truck is actually 4-6" cause i did other stuff to it my truck being dropped 4-6" and i cant go no taller than a 32" tire with no rubbing so a 285-40-23 tire is exactly 32" tall so you will be ok

See thats where I get confused.... this is how I see it in my head with this particular DJM kit (3.5/4).... take out the blocks 2" drop + 6" Flip kit = 8" drop + 2" Lift Hangers = total of 6" drop when finished (too low I think?)

Am I doing this right? I 'm going with the lift hangers to acheive a total of 4", so if I leave the 2" blocks in that will add the 2" that i need for a 4" drop when finished.
