I've dropped many cars, but none ever seemed to be quite low enough. When I bought the ford it had some flaws but I saw the potential for a massive drop.
Here is how I got it:
-pretty fugly at this stage
I should add that this truck has been already lowered 4" in the front and at least 6" out back by the previous owner.
I took it down to the frame and started chopping and welding to get 7 inches more drop. I spent a few months at it and ended up with this:
before(with the exception of the c-notch):
after(still requiring finish welding):
Now I ran into an issue after lowering it, the front end was into the pavement so I had to move the fenders up 2 inches to clear. I modified the core support, moved the bed floor up 6 inches, blah, blah , etc.... on with the pics
I yanked it into the driveway to get a better look at it to make sure I was on the right track.
the front end scraped all the way out
I ended up lifting the suspension by removing the 3" drop blocks and installing a 1" to clear the ground and to fit the tires and wheels
finally got the beast on the street
