Product Description

The Ridetech 12299522 Rear Lowering Kit drops an F-150's rear 3.5"-5.5" using Fox Factory Performance 2.0 monotube shocks with 24 positions of rebound adjustment. This particular version uses the HQ Touring shock - poly-bushed rather than spherical-bearing-mounted - aimed at daily-drivable street manners and reduced NVH compared to the firmer HQ Series option on the same base kit.

It bolts on with axle flip brackets, leaf spring brackets, shackles, and bump stops all included, and it's designed to work alongside Ridetech's optional rear sway bar, traction bars, and load-leveling system for owners building out their F-150 suspension over time. Customer reviews consistently praise the fit and hardware quality, with one owner specifically noting the included wedge maintains proper pinion angle after the drop.
