So is installing a McGaughys 2/4 on my 07 FX2 pretty straight forward? I assume just swap front coils on my struts and do the rear flip. I can do the fronts just fine but have never done a flip kit. Any shop like Quality Care should be able to align, right?

save yourself time and greif. Do the belltech drop struts vs that set up. Will ride better. Ive done many trucks where they had me install the drop springs on stock struts and on the 04 up trucks kills shocks fast. Thats why i go with the belltech drop struts which are adjustable from 0-3 inches. Also in rear 4 inch flip kit with the belltech sp shocks rides better and ive installed both

2014
4wd
3/5
Doesn't matter
Doesn't matter - I want coilovers

I have a 1.25" block in the back.
PF 36.75
DF 36.75
PR 38.75
DR 38.75

I have a Roush Stage 2 Supercharger and I tow a 7000lb trailer around. Would I need Airbags in the rear?

welll for 2014 you for 3 inches in front would have to do the djm 3 inch arms. that would bring you to 33.5 about. in rear get rid of the bock 37.5 then 4 inch drop would bring it to 33.5

Ok. Would I need airbags if I'm hauling a 7000lb trailer? And will there be coilovers made for the 2014's?!

2014
FX4 Supercrew
4x4 5.0L
Stock 20" wheels

Id like to do a 2/3 drop, Since I haul a trailer (5000lbs) and sometimes an ATV (900lbs) in the bed. Don't want the *** to sag, and I don't mind a little rake on the back. I don't want to do an axle flip because of the trailer weight.
I would consider a 2/4 because the box is usually empty, and its my daily driver, but would I need an air bag helper? I'd like to keep as many OEM parts as possible because I'm still under Warranty.
