As long as you leave the Ford emblem they look sweet plus the emblem looks cool because its recessed in the metal

It looks good when you have the f150 badges on the fender. Shave the antenna and shave tailgate all but the ford symbol. If you shave the antenna you get the autolock hidden antenna. I think you should go for it

So i bought a set of used djm lca's (3.5) and put new ball joints in. Monday night I installed my strut to 1.5" drop with the lca's. With this done I still was sitting level, I want the front to have a little rake. So I tore back into the truck last night and put the strut at 2" drop and now it is about where i want it and it rides a little better than with the Drop spring and drop strut. Would you say I have 5.5" drop in the front? Because it sat lower when I had the strut at 2" and the 3" spring installed...

So what drop would you all say I have?

The rear has a 6" flip and a 2" drop shackle.

Thanks

I have a bunch of lowering parts for sale in classifieds.

I had a hell of a time getting the truck to align, all done now. But now I have a bunch of bump steer. So I am going to try and buy a bump steer kit for a mustang and fit it to my truck. Right now the truck is at 4.5/8. Perfectly level. But I want some rake back. So if I sell some of the parts I have I am going to buy some 2" drop springs and run my belltech struts at stock. So that would put me at 5.5/8. Right where i want it!!!

Thanks. I am trying to get ahold of a guy at steeda that is supposed to be able to give me info on the different mustang tie rod pitches. But he is never there.
