I have it. Lowered it as advertised, 1.3 in front, 2.5 in back....not a huge difference, but definitely brought the ass end down. I added some factory 20x8.5" wheels and 275/55/20 tires. I'd add these to get better alignment--- https://www.steeda.com/spc-performa...nt-cambercaster-kit-f-150raptor-09-14_p_13998

Doesn’t look bad. Clean truck. Did you consider a 3/5 drop prior to getting that?

I thought about it, but I still need it to do truck stuff that would be detrimental with a 3/5 drop.

awesome. Same here. Is there anything left to lower in the back without buying a new rear kit?

Nice. Looks perfect with 22’s. Is that a 2wd truck? Aren’t those a bit lower to start?

yes 2wd, same kit. Only get about 1 1/4” in the rear due to no blocks to remove that are on the 4wd.

Ah yes. I wonder if the lowered front is the same on 2wd vs 4wd? I want the exact stance you have, but I will starting with a 4wd.

It should be the same, all the do is replace the coils to lower the stance.

I did the FP kit on my 2014 and it was OK. Biggest issue was the loss of old carrying and towing capability for such an average lowering. On my 2025 I did the Ridetech 3/5 kit with supplemental air bags for load carrying and it’s everything I expected including a significant improvement it ride quality. Not soft and numb like factory, tight and firm like a sport sedan that can still tow 8000+ lbs. looking at wheels and tires next, when the budget allows.

Below is about 3500 lb of boat with 370 lbs of tongue weight. 40psi in the bags and it at the same level as unladen.

This has been great feedback thus far. With my usage of the truck the FP kit should be suitable. Do i wish it was a legit 2/4, yes. But it should work and the entire FP700S package is what ill go with....for a few reasons. The only question i have is: can the back be dropped any more with FP kit? Another inch would really "level" it out. I only haul a single axle 14' enclosed dirt bike trailer on random weekends. Nothing that will squat it too much. The 23' raptor i have now certainly squats more than this truck will with a load and it is within a 1/2" of level with suspension mods i have.

Belltech 3/5 on 22's. All I haul is air!

Anybody else have the FP complete kit on their 4x4? Its definitely a smaller drop than most want, but i guess i can always replace later. I need to make sure this truck still can maneuver in light "off-road" scenarios. I want to avoid airbags for sure.

Great info as I’m looking into this myself. Thanks for your imput!
