2016 f-150 super crew 4X4. Looking to lower it a bit.(front and rear) I live in the New Hampshire and still need some ground clearance. What's the minimum drop kit you have available? Do you something that drops the front 1" and the rear 2"?

I installed a kit from you on my 2014 f150 supercrew. Djm 2" arms and Belltech 4" flip kit. After a day of driving I have a squeaking / creaking noise coming from the rear suspension when the trucks weight transfers ( accelerating/ braking). It's heard other times too but that's when it most noticeable. I've tried greasing everything. I've loosened all fasteners and retightened with the trucks weight on it. It made the noise when they were loose too. It almost sounds like metal on metal but there shouldn't be anywhere that is happening. Please tell me you've had this problem. My 25k mile truck now sounds like it's 50 years old. Any ideas?

2006 FX4 SCREW 3/5 Drop
I PM'd you earlier today but I didn't realize this thread was here. I have an 06 FX4 SCREW that I'd like to do a 3/5 drop on. My only concern is the angle of the CV axles at a 3" drop. Have you had any CV axle longevity/durability issues with these 4x4 trucks at that amount of drop in the front? Are any tie rod or A arm mods required to go that low? I prefer ride quality over performance so the djm calmax A arms are what I've had my eye on but I'd like your input before I make any moves. Thanks for your help.

I have not but many times 5 inches in rear sit lower then front because you also get rid of the lifting block. Before you do anything measure the truck ground to fenderlip all around. Then I can dual in a kit.... oh also how thick block is

RR- 39 3/8"
RF- 36 1/2"
LR- 39 1/8"
LF- 36 1/8"
I guess the driver side is a little lower from me sitting there for 135,000 miles lol

if you did 3 in front will be 33 lets say. 2 inch block in rear would bring to 37 1/8 then 4 inch flip is what you would need
