hey guys, so if you’re lookin’ to set up a squat on an 88 F150, here’s what I learned from my own experience. first off, you’ll need to upgrade the rear springs. stock ones just ain’t gonna cut it if you want to haul some serious weight.
But, don’t forget about shocks. gotta get some good ones that can handle the extra load, or you’ll end up bouncing around like a pinball. also, consider beefing up the rear axle for added strength. can’t have that snap on you when you’re loaded up.
And maybe a better tire setup could help with traction, right? I once tried with my old tires and it was a disaster. have you guys done any mods to yours? would love to hear what worked for you
