Okay, I've been pondering this idea for awhile now, but I need some feedback on this. For those of you who don't know, I have a 2007 Ford F-150 XL V6 2WD Reg Cab, 6ft Bed.
So, I was talking to my boss yesterday about getting a lowering kit. However, I haven't found any kits for the V6. I think (Correct me if I'm wrong), but I think that the Front suspension will fit. Now I know, that the spring rates are different but I don't know by how much. Now Eibach has 3 different kits for the Reg Cab/6ft Bed/2WD applications. A 2/2 Drop, 2/3 Drop and a 2/4 Drop.
The rear number should stay the same, but the front won't be as much. Also, I know that the back sits higher than the front from the factory. I'd love to do a drop and level. lowering the front 2" from stock, and have the back the same amount as the front.
Any thoughts or ideas?

well how far down do you want? with 2" it will level the rear end out. are you saying you still want a rake, as in lower the front and rear the same amount?

 

i would suggest lowering it with a djm kit that uses lower control arms and keeps stock springs, then it should lower you the exact 2.5" or 3.5" depending on the kit you get

or get custom springs...

 

looking into the djm right now.
sorry, that wasn't very clear...
but i want to lower the front about 2 inches, and and the back sit the same height as the front. so in order to get that, im not sure if i need 3" or 4" in the rear; that was part of what i'm asking about.
Thanks!

 

Another Thought...

I was talking to one of my distributors earlier today about this and he gave me an idea. It's a Belltech Kit, 3/5 Drop. He said that this should work with the V6 as well, so that would actually be a 3/5 drop.
Here's the break down:
Coils: Pt# 4807
Flip Kit: Pt# 6440
Shocks (2): Pt# 221155

Thoughts?

 

i dont care for flip kits myself.

you need a 2/5 to level your truck

 

thanks for the info on the level.
I don't know much about this stuff so please excuse my "n00b-ness".
But why don't you care for the flip kits?
Something I need to look out for, or avoid?
Thank You much!

 

well flips use factory springs, and it gives you about 1.5-2" of travel before the bumpstops. so with the softer factory springs, you will be bottoming out constantly.

Also flip kits encourage axle wrap
