Drop is done

Went Bell Tech drop struts up front & 3" leafs in rear.Set struts @ 2 1/2"drop with stock springs.3" leafs with 2" drop shackles(G.F.) 2 degree shim & street shocks.Alignment to specs. was no problem,but during the alignment the tech found a crack in the pass. side lower control arm. That added $535 to the bill.The truck only has 11,601 miles on it.Of coarse the warrenty expired in Sept.The silver lining to this cloud,if I had not droped my truck & had to align it,may have never known about it.Possibly could have broken while driving. Funny how things work.
Back to the drop, it handles awsome and I like the ride better tnan before. The set up handles the 275 55 20s much better. Only put about 35 miles on it so far, I'm in love!!!!!!
2008 F150 STX Reg.Cab Flairside Silver Gray Leather

Thanks to T.S.S. & the wisdome on F150 Online (C ulater, Bluejay came thru)
