Bagging my F150

I need a bigger vehicle than an F150 to lift, its always been go big or go home with me about that. Anyways, I want to drop the crap out of my truck. 2007 F150 SCab 6.5' bed 4x4 5.4L. Dont know if you need to know anything else for now. I want to drop it really low, like if I hit a bump, my bumper is scrapping. For that reason, I would like to use bags, so I can lift it a couple of inches when driving it daily.

My only problem is, I cant find a lowering kit, and while I could fabricate the drop myself, I would rather be done with it in a days worth of installing. So if someone could help point me in the right direction that would be great Money is basically a non issue, but I would like to see a few different price range options if possible.

Give Ekstensive out of Houston, TX a call if you want to get it done. You can have the do the job or you can get all the parts from them if you think you can tackle the job yourself. I know they make a complete front kit for these trucks with new upper and lower arms, raised upper mounts and I think new heim joint steering ends. Also for the rear they offer the 2link kits like they do on everything.

Hopefully not, otherwise it wont be happening. 4X4 is a lot more useful for racing in a strait line than lowering my truck is.

You will defiantly have to lose your 4x4 going over 3" drop in the front will bind your cv axles causing breakage
