Harley AWD BellTech
 

I went with the BellTech adjustable height shocks in the front so as to keep the same ride quality with the stock springs. They were +2" to -2" and I went with -1.5". If I even take them back off I will remove the .5" ring spacer.
The rears I used the Belltech 4" lower shackles.
Interestingly, none of the places I looked online (including BellTech) stated that the parts would work on the Harley AWD but everything bolted right up.
It took me about 3.5 hours to put the front shocks on and maybe another 1.5 hours for the rear shackles the next day.
The ride is fine. Not sure if its really any different. I haven't done anything but drive it back and forth to work so far (maybe 4 times) and now that the weather is better I have been riding.
I think I will buy the rear sway-bar and then be done.
I will try to get some pictures for you. Its nothing drastic looking, I did it for handling and can't say yet if it helped.

That sounds like the setup I was going to use, but instead of the 4" shackle, I was gong to go with the 2" and then remove the rear block. But depending on what the 4" looks like, I'll probably go with that and then an airbag helper kit to keep it level under "minor" loads.

Can you post a part number for the 4" shackle? I am lowering a 2013 Platinum 4x2 however I don't know that I want to go 5 in the back. Belltechs web site does not show a 4" shackle.

6406 was the shackle I went with.
Still working on the photos. I want to get one of the other F150s at work parked next to me so you can see the difference.

Belltech shows 6406 as a 2" drop shackle. They don't make a 4" shackle.

That could be. Let me see if I can figure out why I ordered that particular shackle. It must have been mentioned someplace. I will see what the instruction paper said.
I do know I measured it and was a little worried that it was going to be more than 4" in difference, compared to the old shackle I took off anyway.
And there is no way to place a longer shackle in there. I had to bend the sheet metal seam above the spring eye so that the end of the shackle wouldn't hit it.

Interesting. I found one mention that it was a 1", 2" or 3" lower depending on the hole you use. and they do have three holes to choose from. I would swear it also said 4" someplace else.
Also, when I looked on the Belltech website it wouldn't tell me that the front lowering kit #9551 would work on the Harley edition but it fit just fine.
When I measured the difference it was closer to 4 3/4 inches longer than the stock shackle from eye to eye so I installed it on the middle hole the first time but after looking at it decided to move them to the end holes.
I should have measured it before the lower but I didn't. I will try to get some pictures tomorrow so you can at least see what it looks like.

4" on the shackle only give ~2" of drop.

since the lever effect!...diff is half way from the front " pivot point"

Ya. I measured it yesterday compared to a stock 2010 and its only about 2.5" lower.
Dont ask me how I came up with the 4" number. Probably a daydream here at work after my 45th day in a row of 12hr shifts.
I took some pictures of the 2 trucks nose to nose also and I will try to post them today on my next break.

Belltech lower kit vs Stock
 

Ok, there is a picture in my album if I did it correctly. Like I said, not a huge difference but its noticeable.
I did it to improve the handling. I received my Hellwig rear swaybar today and hopefully I can put it on during lunch tomorrow.

That's exactly what I wanted to see! I just ordered the parts necessary for the lowering, I'm gonna find some helper bags to order too. Let us know how the sway bar does? I'm interested in buying one as well and figured I'd just wait for your review.:woot:

The swaybar seems to have made a difference. Bear in mind that I have only driven to and from work now (17 miles each way) every single day since the first of April so my variety of experience with it is slim. It does feel a bit tighter on the freeway though. Enough that I would say its worth the $220+.
I am hoping to get a trip to Brian Head in the next couple of weeks and give the Superchip and Suspension a workout. Some high speed running on I-15 to check the governor unlocking and a nice canyon to check the suspension.

i'm looking to do a 3/4 drop on my 13 f150 reg cab swb stx. i prefer to maintain a little rake from front to back, and maintain a stock ride quality

what are my options?

The 3/5 still has alil rake but not much of one. I would do the Belltech lowering struts in front. That will improve the ride up front. The rear flip kit and SP shocks. Most of our F150 customers use Airlift helper bags as well.

Looking to just level/lower the back of my 11 HD (AWD). What the best route, 2 inch drop shackles? Also what would price be for that shipped to 66210?

The website only shows 97-03 parts?

I would use Belltech part number 6409. It will do 2" or 3". I believe 3" on the AWD/4WD model is more level. $13 for shipping using USPS

I know this thread is a year old but would anyone be able to quote me a price on about a 2 and 4 drop kit for an 05 stx scab?

3/5 Part# 914SP $590.20

PM me for forum discount.

Has Belltech given y'all a time frame on when they are going to release the lowering kits for 2014.

Called to get some advice from Kris today. She was so helpful and knows her stuff. She hooked me up with a Belltech lowering kit with a Air Lift bag kit. Can't wait to get it here and installed. Thanks Kris!

Let me know if you have any questions about the Air Lift install,and don't forget to take advantage of the $50 rebate! https://www.airliftcompany.com/support/rebates/

I had a chance to install my Bell Tech drop as well as the Air Lift Slam Air bags. Great combo. I got the drop I was after but it didn't affect my towing ability. Here is a pic I put together showing before and after, although the before pic is from several years ago with some different wheels on it then.

I recently towed my 29 foot Sunset Trail to Cruising the Coast. Here it is with about 80psi in the bags.

Pic is at a bad angle, but the truck was perfectly level. Great combo if you are looking to lower but still want to be able to tow/haul.

Here is a pic of my car hauler hooked up with only 10psi.

Looks great Monkey, glad the bags are working out for you!
