Thanks for help on the drop.

[Fabbed4d88]

Just wanted to say thanks to those that helped with input on my 2" drop this weekend. Took about 6 hours ( one of which was spent trying to figure out why my pass side wouldn't go down any lower) now all I have to do is level everything out. I drove it around a while and it seems to actually ride a little better than it did before.

Thanks again for the help.

how did you do yours?
flip the keys?

 

[Fabbed4d88]

No, I used the lowering keys from Chassis Tech.

I need pictures

I have no idea how to upload pics to this site...

 

[BADB4C]

You have to use a hosting site like photobucket. Just upload it there then place the link in a thread.

Wouldn't you guys rather wait till I got my rims?? Right now it's just an X sitting 2 inches lower.

Getting the X back from the allignment shop after work...My guy said that he got it back to spec but it took all the adjustment on the pass side.

Hope this works.

WOW those are some small pictures. Wish they were a little larger so you could see how nice the X looks lowered. BTW I love that color on your X.

I'll try and get them on my Ford Truck World account....I know those work.

I accidentally posted this for a guy trying to drop a 3rd gen.......Oops.
Maybe you gyus could use it.

This is the list of parts that I'm running right now...

Lowering keyways: Product number Key-FR98DROP...$49.00
Airbagit.com

Bumpstops: Energy Suspension Part # 9-91023 (2 per pack and you need 2 packs) $8.99ea. Jegs.com

Shocks: Nitro Slammers $42.02ea for the fronts (call and they will make them custom for your 2" drop) Doetsch-shocks.com

Alignment cams: Ingalls Part # IEC-29000 $25.39ea (you need 2)
Summitracing.com

2" lowering block kit: Part # DJM-LBZLK $28.95
Summitracing.com

Couple things to note:
You don't need to change your shocks in the rear because the mounting points don't change. (I do reccommend you change them out for a better ride though. I plan to change mine out soon as I have 59k on mine now).

The alignment cam kit I have listed is a kit alot of people on this site use and one I found after the fact. I went to my local parts store and just bought a cam kit that just came with 4 adjustment cams. The Summit kit includes bolts. I paid $40.00 for my kit and have had 0 problems with getting it aligned.....and I didn't have to remove the bolt, just the nut and cam on the end.

The DJM lowering blocks come with alluminium blocks. Although I haven't had any problems with them I do plan to change them to steel ones at a later date (just for piece of mind).

And finally the bumpstops...The rear went right in the rear holes where the old bumpstops came out. In the front however the factort holes are to small. My simple fix was to remove the factory bumpstop and mount my new ones on the lower control arm where the old one made contact...just had to drill a couple holes.

Make sure you get an alignment as soon as your done...Hope this helps.
If I left anything out or someone has a better way to go feel free to chime in.

Later I'll be adding a larger Addco swaybar to the rear, soon as I find a good price on it.....Probably Summit or Jegs.

1" Sway bar: ADDCO Part # ACO-633 $168.95
