Rear end lowering

[Finnster]

Yes definitely it lost the rake that the truck has from factory
From my hitch to the ground it lowered 1.5 inches from before install.
Completely worth it to me.
Jus remember to remove the shock lower bolt And the lower spindle bolt

Any change in ride quality, or is it too soon to tell?

That result makes the OEM Lobo kit look like a pretty clean option for AWD owners who only want to reduce the factory rake without doing a full lowering setup.

A 1.5-inch drop measured at the hitch is enough to be noticeable, while still keeping the change fairly mild. I’d be interested to see the alignment numbers afterward, especially rear camber and toe, since that would help show whether any additional suspension parts are really needed for this amount of drop...

Installed the OEM ford LOBO spring kit part number M-5300-MV $140.00
These are Only for AWD
I only installed the rear springs supplied in kit plus new hardware that is included in kit.
Back is now 33 1/4
Front is now 32 3/4
Going in for alignment today will post update of before and after

Finally got the rear springs installed and aligned, honeslty not a huge difference to me but I do like it better. The front ground the fender measures a little lower than yours which is kinda weird, mines like 32 1/4. Back is 33 1/4. So about an inch difference.

Once I get home I’m going to measure again after it settled etc.

I lowered the rear end of a 55 Chevy in 1961. It was the rage then

I saw some areas of the country where you can actually be ticketed if the front end is higher than the rear. You”ll need to at least readjust your headlights.

Hmm the rear of the truck is higher than the front.

Hmmm… he said he wanted to lower the rear end. I’ll have to read it again.
