There is alot of ways to lay out a f-150 but this is how mine is done.
Djm lower control arms and kp cups with the lower cup welded to the control arm. Upper control arm brackets moved up 3in for the camber. flip the tie rods under the spindle for clearance and a cleaner look. Raised tranny x-member from grant kustoms. rear cab x-member notched for drive shaft. gastank crossmember notched for drive shaft. I did have a gas tank but it was switch out for a fuel cell in the bed.!!!
Other than that that is the best way i have done it. Oh yah btw just depends on what size bags you run you will have to notch the frame where the spring pocket is Thats if you run 2600's now i'm runnin 2500's still rides nice but just takes a little more air to lift up!!!
If you have any questions i can take a pic of the setup so you can see what i'm talking about!!

ill send u some when i get home from workk... deff go with slam bags! i using re7's up front but u gotta cut alttle more but its worth it.... and now u dont have to do a spindle flip... reason people did that the last couple of years is because there was no drop spindle.... now beltech has em and there nice.. i was 1 of first in country to get em.. it be easier to do cups but you can also make a soild mount on the frame....
the pics i have are spindle flip on 20s with stock arms... ill also show u my setup now to unclear 24's with being bd to doors

I don't know if these pics really help but its a start its all i could find the upper brackets are moved up 3in and i'm runnin a 2500 bag that was before the lower cup was welded up to the lower control arm but i will see if i can get out there and take some better pics sometime this week!!!
