I recently bought 2'' mcgaughys front drop springs for my 04 f150, and a DJM 5'' rear flip kit so I'm hoping to sit perfectly level 2/5 with my single cab xlt, I know I can use my stock shocks but I also know it will ride rough, does anyone know which I should go with? as far as bottoming out in the back I don't want anyone that but I'm thinking of getting the Calmax shocks for the rear,

 

Belltech offers shocks for lowered applications.

As far as your truck sitting level, it will probably be 1" high in the front if you lower it only 2" in the front, and 5" in the rear. A 2WD F-150 will have 2" of rake from the factory, unless it has the HD package (7-lug wheels), which has 3" of rake.

If you don't plan on towing or using the bed, it's not the end of the world. The steering will feel like sh*t though. Very numb and awkward. That's partly why retaining some rake is important.

 

see I had a 2'' level kit installed in the front and the back still sat an inch higher so i figured i needed it to sit 3'' lower when i dropped it thats why i am going with 2/5 but thatnks ill look at the belltech page.

 

Run the Belltech shocks all the way around. Especially the front. The rear you can buy some shock extenders to help with stock length shocks.

 

jsvo do you recommend these? http://www.stylintrucks.com/parts/be...ocks/1883.aspx or the street performance shocks?

 

SP shocks all the way
