H&R lowering 'kit'

first off I got a 2010 2wd f150 so I figure lift in with tires is pointless with a RWD truck ,gone go the other route. no low rider here, just performance mods.

so I just got my coil overs and shackles today. anybody use this product ?

I got a set of TWO coils and TWO shackles ,only. now the two shackles are for the rear ,got it. shouldn't I have got 4 coils tho for each point ? never got a 2 spring set ,help would be appreciated .

The rear doesnt have coils. The shackles will give you the drop back there. And you only have two coils up front.

If you're not familiar with how truck suspensions work, i would recommend doing research and figure it out before you hurt yourself or your truck. Or taking it to a professional to do the work.

and just FYI most of us lowered guys hang out in the street scene section

and as always post pics when you get it done

The more reading you do the easier it is to do it yourself!

ended up hookin up with a buddy of mine and usin the shop and tools here on post to get the job done. all in all took about 4 hours , decided to keep the stock spring block in the rear with the H&R shackle..for now. 4 bilstein shocks around and 2 coils up front. gave me about 2 " in the rear and 1 1/2" up front. set the suspension over the last few days and now she's due for an alignment at the dealership.

stock height from tire to fender is 8 1/2" ,sitting at 2 inches lower in the rear
