Another newbie here looking for answers
I've got a 2013 bright blue FX2supercrew that I want to drop.
Nothing too severe as it will be my daily driver. I'm thinking 3/5.5.
Which kit is the best value/ most dependable out there?
I have seen the DJM, Belltech and groundforce kits on line.
Browsing this site, I gotta say, some of your rides are just plain sick.
Also, if ...okay...when I drop her, am I voiding any kind of factory warranties?

Well I started out with the ground force 2/4 set up It was a simple install and drove ok, Just a little bouncy in the rear the ground force shocks are really stiff.
But then I wanted to go lower. So I installed front belltech struts with the stock springs and added belltech rear 1in drop shackles with the belttech shocks. I liked the look but didnt like how easly it bottomed out with a full crew. I bought a set of slam air bags but couldnt get them to fit with the way the rear springs sat ontop of the axle.
So I got a belltech rear flip kit and had one leaf added to the stock rear leafs.Had this done at a spring shop also had them set it a 1/4 higher than stock.
FINALLY! It rides awsome it doesnt bottom out with a full load inside and i used the stock rear shackles and shocks also. Doesnt have a vibration at 20mph or at hard accel useing no shims either. It sit right at 32 1/4 all the way around.
I quess for me at the end belltech was the way to go.

I was gonna order my drop kit for my fx2 today from tony but he said that belltech is backed up on rear kit parts so im gonna wait about a week or so. Im going with the 3/5.5 belltech. Seems to be the most popular for the f150's. I personally can say that belltech is the way to go. I've had a 2/4 on my yukon from belltech and no problems what so ever.

I'm going to order what ever I order in a few weeks. I'd be curious to hear how the install goes milehigh. I've never installed something like this myself.
I had a '01 screw that was bagged, but I had it done for me.
