Question Raising a nascar

I have a nascar edition F-150 and i know the factory dropped it an inch and i am trying to figure out what they did to drop it. I figured blocks in the rear and springs in the front but how about camber in the front? Any ideas?

So, springs in the front and different spring hangers in the back? Thats it? Will raising it back up in the front for clearance through off the camber and make my tires wear uneven? Sorry for all the stupid questions but i have always been a chevy guy and this is the first ford

If you revert back to the stock springs to raise the front and change out the hangers in the rear , it would not hurt to have that checked. I would bet that there are a few on here that have dropped thier fronts with smaller springs and have them to sell. Go over to the classifieds and place an ad there for the springs and hangers and you'll get a reply.

So after looking at it, i dont think camber will be that bad because the wheels lean in now so with increased height it should be just about right. About the hangers in the rear, were they just longer to lower it? It doesnt look like they could be two inches shorter which would be what it would take to drop it an inch?

When you get around to the swap, let me know. I'll looking for a mild drop to my '03 2WD and your stock stuff might work for me.

Thanks,
