Description
A More Efficient Stance. Boost your truck's efficiency with this simple lowering kit. Sure it only drips the height by 1"" but you'll enjoy improved fuel efficiency, a custom muscular stance and a truck that accepts smaller wheels because of those changes. This Belltech 1"" lowering kit dips your truck's level down just slightly, giving you a more streamlined look overall. It accomplishes this feat using a set of quality shocks, torsion bar keys and a leaf spring flip kit. The end result is a lower truck that stands out nicely and accepts slightly smaller wheels as well. Install it today and immediately enjoy the style and performance benefits offered.
Belltech Nitro Drop 2 Shocks. Top quality Belltech Nitro Drop 2 shocks are included for the front and rear in this kit. These shocks are built to offer smooth performance over most terrain with a lower stance.
Steel Torsion Key and Flip Kit. Tosion bar keys as well as steel hangers and shackles create the rest of the height difference offered by this set. The shackles and hangers are used in an axle flip, to drop your height just enough overall.
Included Hardware Installation. This kit is simple to install and goes on in 4 to 6 hours in most cases without issue. Add the kit along with all the included hardware to your F-150 and enjoy the new and improved performance and look.
Extended Warranty. Belltech protects most of the suspension components in this kit for a lifetime and the shocks for up to two years after installation, helping to keep your truck safe and protected.
Application. This Belltech Complete 1"" Lowering Kit goes onto 1997 to 2003 Ford F-150 4WD trucks.

Installation Time: Weekend
Front was easy the rear not so much
The front coils were no problem as it was just like a car and I rebuilt the complete steering and bushings. The rear with the exception of the shackles was no fun. If you have access to a torch to cut the rivets out I would go that route as they are not at all easy to remove. Nevertheless I’m done and it looks very nice.

Kit is on point
I love the kit it works really well very sporty with a lot better handling recommend replacing all frontend parts with it only bad is the directions need work and you have to drill out the outside hole on the new bracket to fit bolt just had wrong size for me not sure that's a problem on all but it's not a big deal for me

2002 XLT - Raehs
Installation Time: Weekend
Great kit, just one issue encountered.
Installed this on my 2002 extended cab pickup over the weekend. Installation went well other than me having to find my own way of doing some of the disassembly. The front end went together as smoothly as anyone could ask for, took about 3 hours but could've been quicker if I were more knowledgeable, rear shackles are easy, but I ran into issues with the belltech leaf spring hanger, as the outer bolt hole was slightly smaller than the factory leaf spring pin bolt, so I had to try and bore it out a little bit using a drill, then bolt the spring to the hanger before bolting the hanger to the frame. If you check that stuff beforehand and make sure it all fits though, it'll be much easier and the end result is still a much lower, meaner looking truck!

Lowering kit
Kit overall is good. Belltech put the wrong torsion key in the kit and that caused some delay in getting the ride/stance correct. Just don’t throw away your old torsion keys or you’ll be riding in a buckboard wagon until they get you the right keys. Also working on a truck this old was problematic due to rusted torsion bars and spring hangers. Happy with American Truck overall

Love it!
Love the stance of this product well worth the money. If your looking to drop your ride without a C-notching your frame this is the product I recommend gives you a well quality drop.

2001 Lightning - JLord27
Stance was good, ride-quality was not
I purchased these for my 01 Lightning. After installing them, the stance was exactly what I wanted, but the ride quality was way too stiff. I removed them and returned to stock (with one leaf removed) the very next day.
