StreetGRIP Lowering Kit | 2015-2026 F-150 2WD/4WD

Description:

Ridetech’s pleased to announce the expansion of their popular StreetGRIP lineup to include late model truck applications, starting with 2015 and up Ford F-150.

Ridetech’s F-150 StreetGRIP kit provides the ride height adjustability needed to establish a great looking stance. In addition to reduced wheel-to-tire gap, it also lowers the center of gravity and sharpens handling. If the perfect lowered stance is your primary goal, Ridetech’s StreetGRIP kit supplies everything needed to give your F-150 an aggressive 3.5”/5.5” drop while maintaining the ride quality expected of a daily driven pickup.

How did Ridetech accomplish this? Their R&D team evaluated several suspension combinations before arriving at a package that delivers an ideal balance of ride quality, handling, and stance. That solution starts with a set of Fox Factory Adventure Series struts and shocks.

FOX’s proven damping technology provides a comfortable on-road ride and predictable handling whether your truck is a daily driver or weekend street truck bruiser. Their monotube design uses an internal floating piston (IFP) that separates the shock oil from the high-pressure, nitrogen-charged gas chamber. This prevents oil aeration for fade-free performance when put to hard use. These non-adjustable shocks are rubber bushed in the front and poly in the rear, providing additional compliance and reduce unwanted NVH, ensuring passengers enjoy the ride as much as whoever is behind the wheel.

The rest of the kit includes high-quality shackles and required installation hardware that has been synonymous with Ridetech for 30+ years. By retaining the factory (OEM) springs, top hats, and control arms, StreetGRIP preserves the ride characteristics Ford engineered into the truck while creating a foundation that easily accommodates future upgrades such as aftermarket wheels, sticky tires, and added horsepower!  

Features & Benefits:

• Front drop is six-position adjustable in 1/2’’ increments (1’’-3.5’’) via snap ring collar system. Rear drop is four-position selectable from 3.5’’- 5.5’’ drop via rear shackle.
• Bolt-on install; no welding or fabrication required
• Made in the USA
• Kit retains factory springs and top hats for comfortable street manners (installation requires spring compressor)
• Steel body construction with durable silver powder coat for attractive looks and corrosion resistance
• Non-adjustable Fox Factory Adventure Series 2.0 monotube struts and shocks feature smooth bore and honed seamless alloy bodies with a 1.834’’ large diameter piston for improved damping you can feel
• Monotube technology is vastly superior to older twin-tube designs
• Quiet nitrile rubber bushings in front and poly rear bushings reduce noise, vibration, and harshness, increasing suspension compliance over heim ends. Great for street use! 
• Fox Factory’s proprietary JM92 Advanced Suspension Fluid improves performance at variable temperatures
• 5/8″ shaft is hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel to combat deflection and bending during hard use
• Shocks backed by a one-year warranty
• Compatible with existing Ridetech F-150 rear sway bar, traction bars, and load leveling system

FITMENT NOTES:

• Compatible with 2015-2025 F-150 2WD/4WD, including BlueCruise, and PowerBoost equipped trucks. NOT compatible with RAPTOR or Lightning models.
• Spring compressor required (verify whether height adjustment can be done on vehicle or if requires removal before adjustment). Use Ridetech’s Online Dealer Locator to find a qualified installer near you!
• If re-using factory Ford upper control arm, headlight sensor bracket kit # 12299506 is required. Payload capacity sensor part # 12299507 is also required.
• If utilizing Ridetech upper control arm, headlight sensor bracket kit # 12299501(two height sensors on driver’s side)/# 12299502 if truck has four headlight sensors (On-board scale optioned pickups) are required.
• If re-using OE Ford upper control arm, slotting the lower control arm bolt hole  by ½’’ inboard (toward the engine) is required (see instructions). To avoid slotting LCA, purchase Ridetech’s optional upper control arms. Below 3” front ride height reduction, slotting of the lower control arm bolt holes isn’t sufficient for alignment. Upgrade to Ridetech tubular control arms. 

Optional components:

• Optional Traction bars eliminate nearly all wheel hop while still allowing for full load capacity and smooth compliant ride. ** Required on power adder (supercharged, turbo, or nitrous) equipped trucks ** – Part # 12297250
• Ridetech rear sway bar dramatically increases cornering capabilities!
• Hauling while lowered? Ridetech’s Rear Air Assist/Load Leveling Air Springs and Mounts are compatible with this kit.
