Lowering truck???

baddkarmaracing · Mar 18, 2012

I have this vision of my truck with a 4.5 carli coil over lift in my head but i can't afford that right now, so I'm looking for a cheap way to make the truck different from anything else on the road. I have thought about lowering it to level it instead of lifting it for now, any thoughts? What's the best way to do it cheap?

4800 lb 5.4L Super Duty front springs and no rear block. Lowered and perfectly level.

obviously lol, thats kinda what brought this up haha i need new tires pretty soon and figured why not change it up for a while. im still gonna do some form of lift but idk what yet, i figure for a little while i will lower it and run cheep street tires instead of a $2000 set of tires plus it will be faster for the drag strip :tree:

What are you guys running for shocks that have pulled the rear blocks and running 5.4 coils?

I ran factory shocks with no issues.

the shocks on my 03 are way to long. i only have about 2 inches of travel in them. i need to get new ones. this is with stock sagged front and no block in the rear. been thinking about getting 2wd rear shocks but not sure if they will fit
