Thanks for watching!
5.5 in the back and 5 in the front
Much respect nice truck your the only 1 doing this and showing how considering every1 else does this on mini trucks like ford ranger
Jen Gal let me know if you need some help.
WHICH REAR SHOCKS WERE USED ON THIS PROJECT?
been so long I can't remember man, sorry.
"RIGHT ON MY FUCKIN' ELBOW"
I can't tell you how much I understand that pain.
Those are the worst ones haha😅
Great job! Much admiration! (by yourself too) I had to pay the local rip-off company in town to drop my truck. $1500 for a 3/5 drop. Dropped my truck at 9 in the a.m. and picked it up at 7:30 p.m.
I've found the same problem, rather do things myself and learn.
Holy shyt!!! $1500?! Wow.
The shops near me charge about $500-$700.
Awesome video 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Thanks!
Do the shackles that come in the kit go In front of axel or behind
@Isaias Delgado on the rear of the axle leafs.
Exact same as mine . wish I would’ve known about that stupid bolt but I did the same thing he did .
Should of taken saw zaw cut bolt head off and just replaced that bolt and put it back in opposite way so nut was facing tank much easier! bolt at hardware store 10 bucks tops
Will it hurt the suspension at all if i cut the bolt and reverse it cus that was my idea too ???@@brandonprettyman269
single cab f150 is the only way to go looking good so far. you painting the truck black?
Thanks! Unfortunately I sold the truck, and all the plans I had are done Haha, but I would have went maybe a bullit green.
Thinking about getting a 09.. and slam it. It’s a RCSB F150 work truck with a V8.
I love the 09 and up body style, that would be sick!
170,000 miles. He wants 5800$ I tried to get him down to 4500 but he only take 5000$ what do you think?
@@dlo__3929 if it seems like a good deal I would but I'm bias towards f150s haha I'll buy any of them ha.
Have the exact same truck can u link the kit
Sorry I don't recall all the parts I used, ik it was belltech stuff up front
What size are the tires?
What is the size of the bed
6.5ft bed
Ahhaha f... elbow hahah... come on man, that's less painful than paying for ahahha
How many inch drop when you change bar down
6 inches with the flip kit
looking to drop mine but can’t find a kit any chance you can send me a link to the drop?
Is it the same concept for a 2003 F150 and did you have to cut for a c notch
not sure if that body style is the same.
Are you change shock in back and front
Do you need to c notch that like the chevys??????
You dont have too, but it would give you more travel, I had about 2 inches before bump stops, didnt bottom out unless i was going fast over a big hole
Thanks....
im guessing thats why they include longer shackles. yes you should notch the frame but unless you can stand bottoming out the odd time no you dont.
8:30 dude i know I hate that. they must build the truck in factory by putting gas tank in before springs. this happened on my jeep and we simply cut the bolt instead of removing tank. much easier, time saving, and few bucks tops for another bolt.
Can you post the link where you got the kits from eBay
u got jack stand bro hahah your crazy
How much is the back lowering kit
Believe it was $180
@@rockitgarage23 so it was only $180 in part to lower front and back or just back. I have v6 2005 ford 150 and considering lowering it
@@browntrout3994 cost me about 550 for front and rear.
How much does your truck measure from the ground to top fender from the back? That’s like a 32 or 33?
Not sure what it measured, I dont have the truck anymore, the tires where lik 33 inches tall I believe
Not sure what it measured, I dont have the truck anymore, the tires where lik 33 inches tall I believe
I believe they were 285 75 r17 I could be wrong
Southern Cut will 305 65 24 rub?
@@JoseRamirezg19 would probably be to wide, might hit the lip of the fender or bedside, depends on your offset. But I would say not with what I had set up
Would I have to change my shocks?
@@JoseRamirezg19 rear I would recommend, if you want the better ride quality from shorter shocks, and more range of travel
So it could ride with stock shocks without no problem until I get drop shocks?
Anyway I could contact you?
Does that streetedge right great? And do you think belltech would ride better? I’m thinking of going with Crown suspension. But don’t know if it rides better and if there’s a diffrence?
If I remember when I chose that kit, it was the same part number as bell tech, so most likely the same product, just non name brand. Rides same as stock but not as much up travel.
Do you think you need shocks when riding with a flip kit? And also with the front. Do you think you will need springs for front drop
Because I see you used struts but no springs did the front ride rough?
@@nickolasbarba2338 not at all, front was bell tech, and road just like stock it lowers by placing the coil lower on the strut, depending on how many spacers you use, 3"drop - all the way to 1" lift.
Alright well I’m going to run the exact set up. But the back I’m going to use crown suspension. Thanks I think I have watched your two videos about 1,000 times because you’re the only person on RUclips who did videos on this!!
maybe i missed it, what kits did you use to lower? and cost? and what parts did you replace? used same shocks? anything else?
Street edge had same part number as belltech I believe. Like $180 I used the same shocks at first.
Southern Cut what was the name of the kit
Did you use to oem shocks ?
Hi there what all did your kit come with?
Nicholas Inca, flip axle perch, bump stops, u bolts, and the plate for the u bolts, pretty simple kit, I used my shocks, but would recommend new lowered shocks
YouNot Knowin what about the spindles? Did you get drop spindles?
Nicholas Inca, did drop struts from bell tech
YouNot Knowin thanks
@@rockitgarage23 a 3ft tall Moby Huge
what would happen if i kept my 3 inch lowering shackles on
Would definitely hit frame on axle, would need a notch of some sort.
@@rockitgarage23 I have the exact same truck with 2 inch lowering shackles but I have a choice for 1 or 2 lowering so I’ll probably move it to one inch lowering and hope I don’t hit 😂
7:25 the instructions are on youtube guy hahaha
Where
What did torque specs did you use for the rear suspension?
How has the truck been since you dropped it?
, I honestly dont remember I torqued it twice when I first did it and 500 miles after.
Rides great only bottomed the back out 2 times both on huge pot holes
That looks like a lot off work 🥴
Not terrible, but not ideal
💪🏼💪🏼🤙🏼
dude just cut the bolt and get a new one.... I did it your way before I realize its easier to cut it lol
Yeah it would have been easier to cut the bolt, but I'm stubborn and took the hard way, to do it again would cut the bolt and be done with it.
For sure cut that shit out "bolt " note to self lol
What size bolt ?
is it 4x4??
Irvin Soto no it's 2wd
What kit did you use bro and how much was it
Chaotik Zs it was a streetedge flip kit, got it on eBay. The front I did with belltech stuff
Chaotik Zs cost about 400 so far
Would this be the same for a 97-03 f150 ?
Believe the suspension is alittle different on those years
nm hah
Dropping tank is easiest way
Gunnar Grant my way was defiantly the harder way ha
No, cutting the head of the bolt and replacing it with a grade 8 bolt is the easiest way.
