Default lowering a 07 ford

Alright my friend has a 07 Ford F-150 and he wants it to look like mine...my only question is wat size drop would it be on his truck. I have an 04 SSS with a 2/4 drop on 22". he also has 22. but i dont know if a 2/4 would look the same on his. any help?

i always thought the fords sat higher, but thats just a guess. so he might need a little bigger drop.

I've seen a 2/4 drop with 22's on a f150 and it actually doesn't look bad. The body is just so damn tall looking that any drop will look higher than it really is. I would say a 3/5 would be plenty low and look great. Personally I would go with around a 5/7 or a 5/8 but that's just me.

Probably gonna need at least a 3/5 to get it down outta the air. Here's a crappy pic on 24's.....



You can get the idea tho...

Do NOT cut factory springs. Especially 2 coils....
