Have a 2001 F150 4x4 with 17 inch wheels. It sits WAY high. Has anyone ever lowered a 4x4 with a 2/4 kit? Does such a kit exist?

 

Well first off it is supposed to be high.

BUT some folks don't need the ground clearance ( like you ) so easy Fix would be to switch to smaller rims and tires ( such as the 255/70/16's that come on NON ORP 4x4.

But do a search on the site I believe someone else asked this a while back

acadianbob - Belltech makes a 4x4 lowering kit, someone on here installed it and it did look nice. Other than that, there is info on doing a free or cheaper drop. You can crank down the torsion bars to lower the front, there is a block in the rear that can be removed (do a search) or you could find a rear shackle kit, and then get an alignment done.

Smaller tires would lower the truck a little, but is that type of lowering you want?

I will be lowering my 4x4 when I get my new tires, so I will know how much to lower it by.
