Lowering Question
I am considering dropping my 2007 F-150 2wd. If I do it I would like to just do a 2/4 drop. I see 2" drop coils for the front. What is the difference between just coils or getting spindles? If I do it I would like to do so without spending a ton.

I would go with coils and Bilstein shocks upfront, the factory coil and shock are inadequite at best. To get the 2/4 drop you want you would be best to go with the Ground Force 2/4 drop #9944. It makes the truck handle so much better than stock and it doesnt do the rear axel flip like other kits, it actually replaces the rear leaf springs. The kit is around $1000 but it includes front and rear springs, front Bilstein shocks and rear ground force gas shocks and the important carier bearing relocation bracket (very important)if you have a 2 piece drive shaft.

It is when the leaf springs are moved from the top to the bottom. The problem they have is that the rear bracket can bend causing the pinion angle to change and bind the drive shaft. It will generally give you a 5 inch drop with the include rear leaf hanger.

when doing the ground force springs, can you still then add a drop shackle to the rear? Im looking to go 3/5 but still unsure about a flip kit.

5" rear drop with a flip kit on this 06 came out to a 7" drop
