I currently have a 2005 F150 Lariat with a belltech 3/5 drop kit. I am looking to redo the front suspension. I was thinking of replacing the 3 in drop springs with belltech 2 in spindles and adjustable coilovers. What different coilover setups are out there? Anybody have experience with different brands and which offer the best ride quality?

 

Belltech has the only coilovers that I know of but they are like$ 650 I have their adjustable struts and used my original coils along with djm lower control arms they ride stiffer than stock shocks feels like a corvette.

 

The Adjustable struts are nice the girlfriend is running them in both her 06 and 2010 one with stock coils one with lowering coils

 

i noticed Belltech has a set of coilovers and a company call H&R makes a set of coilovers. Has anyone ran the H&R setup? Does the Belltech coilover kit use the stock spring on their shock or their own spring/shock combo?

 

these you use your stock coil and are adjustable between 0-3" drop and cost around 100


these come with the coils and are also adjustable up to 4" and cost around 550

 

i decided to pay the 550 for the full coilovers from belltech. Have you ever ran a djm 3.5 drop lower control arm? How strong is it? Can it take being used in corners? can i use djm lower control arms with the belltech coil over for more drop?

 

yes i am running the djm lowering control arms they have been on my truck for 6 years with no problems at all and trust me i drive my truck hard. i have the adjustable struts lowered another inch so my total drop is 4.5" in the front and 6" out back. yes you can use the coilovers along with the lower control arms i personally wouldnt go no more than a total of 5" drop in front.
