Hello everyone...im kinda new to the forum and truck world...just trying to get some input...i have a regular cab 2wd f150 and i picked up a 2/4 drop kit and before i install it i was wondering what it would look like ...ive searched n cant really find anything any two pics with the same ride height...i want my truck to be noticeably lowered but not inconvient to drive as it is my dd...so mainly some pics or if anyone has any input or helpful tips that would be greatly appreciated...

A 2/4 drop would be perfect to make ur truck look good but still be convienent for a dd truck.

Thanks for the pics ....ill think ill like it...as far as install goes...can it be done with basic air tools( hammer/chisel)? And also ive never installed springs...how big of a job am i.looking at?

its actually not too bad to install. my friend and i lowered his and i had the entire front end if the kit done before he was even done grinding off the first leaf bracket. what brand of kit did you buy?

Not 100% sure i bought it used the guy said belltech but i thought all of there stuff was stamped with a logi...n i dont see one anywhere...all i got from him was front springs...n hangers for the back n i bought my own shackles online...also would i need new struts/shocks? N will i need any special tools to install anything? Just wanna make sure i dont run into anything unexpected lol

2/4 will be perfect. I have it on my super cab. You can notice its lowered, and is still very practical

Get on it, post pics. Good luck, you'll be wanting to go lower about a month later.

it was a belltech that we installed and was fairly simple. the kit we did came with the new shocks and spring shackles. install was pretty simple with just regular tools. rear leaf spring brackets were a bit of a pain to grind frame rivets off and instructions said to pull the box off lol. make sure you take off the correct brackets. my buddy spent an hour grinding the wrong one off haha. post pics after i think you will be happy with it when your'e done

oh and the fronts are just shocks mounted through the springs so no real worry about messing with struts
