bagging questions 97-03 f150

when I did my front set up didn't have any issues swapping upper arms side to side. Along with taking 1/2" off the inner and outer tie rod end threads, raising upper mounts 2" or so & flipping the tie rod ends to under side of spindle along with ball joint flip. Never had had a shop alignment just had it done the old fashion way and its just fine.
Can adjust it all day long at any speed with no issues going down the road.

i originally did just as you said Bagtodrag and the toe was changing 1 1/2 between mid height and full drop or full lift has anyone checked to see what theres is doing?

weird i wonder why my truck acted so much different then yours? any ideas?



now its time for me to clean it up and make it look good..

i wonder if it is because i raised my arm 3 inches

are ether of you using drop spindles? i am not.

my other f150 is body dropped on a 295/35/24 ... lays on a 33" tall tire ... real similar setup except the uppers were also moved in for more camber to tuck as the fender curves (18mm offset was cutting it close)
has around 15" of lift

it still doesnt have more then 1/2" of change in toe

I did an 03 exactly how Brian did his (thanks for the advice Brian)...the kids been driving the wheels off of it ever since. Ride height is just a few inches off the ground and it was aligned to specs...twice. The guy fell asleep on the way home from Border Bash and hit a ditch at highway speed...knocked it a lil out of whack. Far as I know the guy has zero problems out of it...
