1" drop for the front
Hey,
Does anyone know where to get front springs for a 99 F150 2wd that would only lower it an inch. Most of the kits and springs ive found only offer 2 and up drops for the front. Any help would be great,
thanks

I already have the Rancho 5000 series shocks, but am considering the Bilstein's. I was told that replacing the shocks when you do the springs is a good idea, since you are already in there.
Keep in mind that you will need to have the front end re-aligned as soon as you finish the springs.

eibach has a few different spring applications depending on if you have a v6 or v8 or reg. or ext. cab truck ...
reg cab v6 - .75"
v8 - 1.3"
- 2"
ext cab v6 - 1" #3575.520
v8 - 1.5" #3575.520
- 2.5" #3576.520
springs for v6 and v8 are the same for the coresponding drop, but give different heights so you could use the v8-2.5" spring on the v6 and probably get a 2" drop
eibach also has an alignment kit/bolt #5.87385K -- which will make it much more easier for the shop to perform an alignment ( larger area to adjust )
