How to lower a Ford F-250?

i know this isn't a ford forum but I wanted to see if I could get some insight here since I'm always here. My dad has a 2001 Ford F-250 4x4 super duty and uses it as a work truck. He wants to lower it so he can load and unload stuff in the bed easier. He mentioned to me that the 4x4 is higher than its 2 wheel drive cousin. Any idea if it's like a Tacoma with leafs in the back and shock/coil in front and what's the best bang for your buck way of lowering it?

 

pop the tires?

 

Lower a 3/4 ton 4x4?

Does not compute.

 

Not lower as in slam to the ground but maybe down to the 4x2 height, few inches lower so it's easier to load and unload stuff into the bed.

 

well theres lots of options... depends how low you want to go...


1. get a 2" lowering hanger,
2. remove the over load spring
3. remove rear blocks
4. get a 3" lowering hanger

the front end you can get 5.4L leafs,

 

I guess something like this

 

remove the blocks first to see how he likes it, maybe the overload spring also

 

Thanks soflanick

 

No problem I used to have one of those

 

Nice, what do you think the best way would be so he wouldn't lose payload capability and still be able to tow and haul? I would think removing blocks and overload spring wouldn't do well for hauling and towing. He's a landscaper.

 

Remove block keep overoad
