3/5 Drop kit

Does anyone know where I can find a 3/5 drop kit for my 2WD 2001 F150? I tried looking online but no luck. Currently in Afghanistan so I only have a few mins to use the computer every few days. If anyone finds something it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again!

Buy some 3" drop springs or spindles, 2" drop hangers, and JLP shackles.

I replied back your message. Try to stick with Belltech has they are the leader in the Ford lowering market.

takes a couple hours to do the hangers, couple hours to do the front. Would make a good weekend project for someone who has never done it before.

Oh ok. I'll see if my cousin want to help me, and it depends on the weather. Gonna be doing it in December. A Custom suspension shop by my house said they can do it for $450-500 with alignment so we'll see. Thanks for the help guys!

$500 with alignment isn't bad at all. Where in the 559 are you? I know of a shop in Fresno that can do it.

I'm in Visalia area. The shop in Visalia is called M C Customs, Fresno is like 45 miles north of me. What's the name of the shop?

Oh that's sweet!!!. I grew up in Farmersville but my sister lives in Visalia. Yeah I talked to Chris and he seems like a straight up dude. I wanna eventually bag my truck and fully shave the body and paint it a candy apple red or something along those lines. So hopefully he can hook it up.

My last truck was lowered with wheels then I knocked out the bodywork and paint then interior so the last thing I needed was bags. By far the best way to build a truck.

Oh ok. Well I'm gonna do an engine swap as well. It has the 4.2L V6 in it right now. I want to put the new 5.0 and slap a KB supercharger on top of that. new tranny, drive shaft and rear end as well.
