I am looking to see if anyone has any input on a good not extremely expensive 4/6 drop for a 2002 f150. Does anyone have any pictures of what it looks like, i am going to be using stock wheels for now. Also how does it ride, stiff or what not. Any ideas Let me know!!

Good luck trying to get any input on here, everyone on this forum is all about lifting their trucks, which is fine. If your trying to find an inexpensive lowering kit i dont think a 4/6 kit is gonna be the one you want. You need to cut into the frame in the rear and install a c-notch so that the axle wont hit the frame, which is probably gonna be kind of expensive if you have someone do it, unless you are planning on doing it. The kits themselves run from about 800-900 bucks for either belltech or DJM, but im sure you could find some cheaper on ebay. I heard that the ride is a bit stiff compared to the stock suspension for drops that extreme. I have the 3/4 lowering kit from belltech that im just itching to put on, so after i do i can tell you about the ride quality.
Hope that helped...

 

Ive got 3/5 drop and it rides pretty good, the rear is a little stiff until i go and trim the bumpstops down some. 4/6 you need more then just coils up front, and you will need a C notch in the rear like meangreen said

 

sorry where are my manners here are my pics
STOCK



3/5

 

Thankx for the info. I do have someone that can help with the 4/6 drop. I was just wondering what everyone else had done and what not. thankx again. I really like the look of your truck Patman03SprCrw

 

i plan on doing the same if i dont trade in for a 4x4 in a couple years. going with flip kit in the back and drop spindles and lower control arms up front.

 

want to drop mine but need info from others that have done it

 

thanks for the compliments!
what do you need to know exactly?

 

if you want more info, check out ford truck world, theres more lowered trucks there than there is here.

 

I know just about anything he needs to know, just dont want to type 2 pages worth of stuff if he has only a few question
