Lowering kit's
 
I have a 2004 F150 (2wd) with a 3 inch leveling kit, I don't like how it looks, I have been really wanting to lower it, I don't wanna low rider look i want more of a performance look. so my question is without the 3 inch level should i do a 2/3 drop or a 3 rear shackle drop?

You'd be surprised how dang low stock 2WD trucks are. So I'd start with removing the leveling kit, then getting a 1.5-2" lowering shackle. Then you can do a full 2/4 on the truck if you want it even lower.

I'd say the other way. Getting in my stock 14 2wd I'm surprised by how tall it is everyday :lol:

2/3 or 2/4 is probably what you're looking for

2/3 if you want some rake to it. 2/4 if you want it level.

If you just removed the level, and did a 3" shackle. The front would be 1" higher.

Personally I wouldn't go anything less than a 3/5 but that is just me. I did a 2.5/4 on my old truck in the beginning and people didn't even know it was lowered.

Go bigger when funds allow. Fixing the passenger front fender should be first though haha. (I need to replace my front bumper cause someone hit, so I'm not merely poking fun)
