Lowered the F150

I have a 2005 f150 and did a 2-5 drop on it. I still want to be able to load the 4 wheeler in the back with out rubbing. does anyone know of air bag kit that i can use in the rear to make this possible?
Thanks

Nice man you have any pics? Not sure if your talking about a full airbag suspension or the air bag support bags in the back. I saw these things in a catolog that go in between the leaf spring and the frame. You problably have a flip kit in the back so you probly need something that goes in between the frame and the rear axle.

yah they sell "helper bags" for trucks rear end, but you may have a hard time finding one that works with your flip kit

Your truck is bad ***. What drop kit did you use and does it bottom at all? I am torn between the eibach 2-4 drop with leafs or the the 2-4.5 flip kit by mcgaughys. Anyways I called Mcgaughys about using their flip kit and loading my motorcycle in it...they told me to by their bags and use a spacer between the bracket and bag to accomadate the heavy load. call them to be sure. Thanks for your help in advance

I used the groundforce kit and got it from ford. It is a 2-5 drop. There is no rubbing unless i have 5 people in the truck then i noticed somtimes i hit the tires in the back.
