You should have no problems with such a mild drop and 22's.

My previous drop was a 3/5 and i hauled a yfz around with drop leaf springs that have a softer ride. It would bottom out every once and awhile and I have 285/35/22. I think you tire size might be pushing it.

Am making plans myself for next summer.

Have been looking at the Belltech struts. You pick the drop and can change it if you want more or less drop, no spring change needed.

Was actually thinking of starting with a 1/3 using 3" drop leaf springs in the rear.

Can always lower the front struts by changing the spring seat height and add a shackle kit if I want to go lower...

Question

Not to start a new thread, but I have a Foose F150, and I know it has an Eibach suspension. At least coils and leafs. This truck is based off of the FX2 model, so in that aspect, if I get the shackles, will this get the truck to sit the way I want? And also, I hear that there is a 1 inch block in the rear as well. Is this easy to take off? Any help will be appreciated. And does anyone recommend the Eibach sway bar? Here is how she sits currently.



Would love to level the rear and get those 22's to tuck better. Also, this is the way I purchased the truck and now know that the original purchaser opted to have the skirts removed in place of the chrome steps. I am in the process of getting the skirts and the steps will be up for sale. $400 and they are yours.
