Disappointed
I had my 98 f150 lowered 2in in the front and 4in in the back. And now it looks like it is squatting. I don’t like it at all. It’s a belltech kit. I am taking the truck back to place that lowered it in the morning to see if there some sor of adjustments they can do to maybe lower the front a little more
any suggestions?
any suggestions?

If the 1998 is a torsion bar front end (or if Belltech doesn't replace it), the vehicle should be able to be lowered by adjusting spring tension on the torsion bar.
However, if the tension is reduced too much, the truck will float due to insufficient spring rate (think of it like having a weak coil spring).
IF that is the case, you will need to have the front end alignment adjusted.
If they aren't using torsion bars, then please forger I wrote anything here.

Back on topic: I have never been a fan of lowered trucks myself. Two or four wheel drive, trucks are meant to haul things, and lowering them reduces there ability to do that. But, hey, if that's your bag, go for it.
