Yes.....but watch out with that torch near the fuel tank. :burn:
Also, the heat on the frame makes a big mess out of that wax type undercoating stuff that Ford puts on the frame rails.

When I was asking about ride quality I was assuming that you guys had the Beltech leafs like I do but I'm getting it now, you have the hangers.
Never mind, but for what it's worth, the leafs are stiff as shit.

i have the 3/4 belltech and i just wanted to know what shop u guys went to for the alignment because i went to like 5 shops today and everyones like its too low or u need a specialist.
looks good
I just took it to the first shop down the street I seen. It took like an hour.
was it like a firestone or just like a local shop
That looks damn good man. The setting of the pics makes even better.
I was going to hold off on lowering mine but i think i will start pricing the stuff to do it.
I think i will go 1 inch lower in the rear and 2 in the front accroding to how your pics are. I guess since i have an 04, ill need a 4/6 drop? sry for the question in your thread but your trucks looks sweet with that drop.

going low like mrclean huh?i want to be that low but i cant do that for a dd.im just gonna do a 3 1/2 up front and 5 in the back.that way i wnt be too low but still look good
Im not too sure how low he is. I know with his Boyd smoothies, it fills up the wheel wells better. That might allow to keep it a litter higher. But i refuse to put rims on my ride. I cant swing $2k for something i just ride on.
I DD mine as well and our roads are prob one of the worst in the country. My only clearance issues will probably be my front bracket for my traction bars. And after a while, i can always replace those. I say that but im sure i know i will have to relearn to drive with a low vehicle. I predict repainting and perhaps repairing my sideskirts because i will forget it's low.:cuss:
Truck looks amazing!! I'm getting shackles to hold me for a little while. I hope.
This is probably the nicest looking kit IMO... I wish I just went this route from the beginning... I went with the Hotchkis front coils and leafs... the coils I got rid of probably 6 months ago, and the leafs are next... I can't stand the way the truck rides/rode with those springs... handle well? YES, but not in the least bit fun to drive on these shitty Jersey roads.... going back to stock leafs, hangers and shackles... Like I said, wish I just went 3/4 a long time ago...
Sweet, my ol thread is back :banana: here are two more pics
Question on this drop. Did you use spindles or just the springs to drop the front? I love the stance
