L1TECH Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 The front camber can be increased by about 1/2 a degree by rotating the the upper strut mount, hopefully you won't need to go any further than that. The rear camber is also adjustable so you should be all right. When I install lowering springs usually I just trim about 3/4" off of the bump stops. Typically the only time you need to change shocks/struts is when you lift a vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabtaj1 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 i dropped mine with the H&R springs and absolutely love it. I did it myself in the driveway. I think I did a write up on what to do to change the front and rear. It handles so much better. Feels more like a car now. I wouldnt change it back. The ride is still very good too. I never did an alignment yet and all is good so far. I plan on doing it in the near future though. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claas900 Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I really like how our factory 09 rides. I tell my wifes its a bubble feel lol. I would like to lower it a little but I sure don't want it to rider different/harder. Back in 2000 I lowered my then new f150 in the driveway with Beltech springs,never liked how it rode after that. Where you able to just use common tools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claas900 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Sounds good. I'd like to lower ours just a tiny bit. But I don't want to affect the ride quality. Ours is on the soft side and thats fine with me. We don't have any curves around here so for me ride quality is number one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
