should I lower the rear end of this truck 2 inches?? i have the hangers in the garage but it sits decent right now even after dropping the front 1 inch.

this is how it sits right now










if you look in the background (never mind the harley truck) you can see the stance from a distance

 

I say go for it!

 

I do as well.

 

Not sure about the 97-03 F150 but the beltech lowering shackles for the chevy have multiple holes in them so you can actually set your desired lowering. I would check with beltech to see if it's the same for the 97-03 F150

 

I'm in Iraq and i ordered the belltech ones they arrived yesterday my wife said they are supposed to have the extra holes for 1-3 inches of drop.

I am trying to match the Harley trucks stance then sticking on the lighting rear antisway bar and probably gonna upgrade the front sway bar.

just want it to look right raked but not like the rear is sagging or the "stink bug" stance. I'll post more photo's when I decide how low to go.


anybody else gonna chime in???

 

I'd lower it.

 

youre gonna have to hit closer to 3" rear to match the front 1" drop. Both are sweet trucks, i love the harley rims on the green one Defienetly jealous of the 03 HD, but those rims are lookin pretty good

Eibach has an adjustable 2"/ 3" drop hanger if you want to go that route

 

I did it, completed it today. will post pics tomorrow. it looks great

 

I have seen that truck before...
i just cant remember where i saw you.
i personally like a very small rake, and that truck has a nice one, but a more level stance, with an ever-so-slight rake to the rear would be hot.
get those pics up so we can see

 

Lower it.

 

my digital camera took a crap but i will get pics posted asap, it's lowered in the back now probably 1 1/2 inches so it still holds the rake stance

 

does it still ride good? how did you lower it?

 

2001 SVT Lightning springs up front, rear 2 inch drop hangers from belltech and a rear lightning sway bar. it rides and handles awsome.


I'll be at Temple academy raceway tonight if you wanna come see it..
