Had the front beams installed by the pros a few weeks back, finished up the back today myself. Big day, but got it done.....
Pics are ordinary but it was all I could get before the sun went down. Front came down 2.5" the back was 3" which is less than they claim but it might be my fault, no matter how much I tried I couldn't get the front eye bolt of the leafs to line up with the very top hole. I'll let it settle and have another go when I regain my strength.
Before and after...

Re: Finished lowering today
Nice!
I wanted to leave mine stock.... but keep having a thought of lowering mine a few inches pops in my head.
Yours is looking good!

Re: Finished lowering today
That looks good. I prefer trucks that sit like trucks and this lower is the perfect kind IMO. Looks great.

Re: Finished lowering today
That's the look I'm going for with mine. I hope it turns out that good when I'm done!
Re: Finished lowering today
It looks great that way; personally, I prefer a slightly lower in the front stance. I agree, this is how Ford shoulda built it to begin with.

Re: Finished lowering today
Good job LEEROY.
There's an amazing thing about the stance of a car or truck. You can lower it to the right point (and nobody knows what that is until you get to it), BUT if you ever go past that magical point, it will look like Fido's B_ _T. Even if you'd gone 1 more inch you'd still have a great looking stance. I love the truck and the way it sits...... BINGO!!!!
