Default I want to fully drop my chip foose f150 fx2, need help!

Hey i have a 08 fx2 chip foose f150
Id like to fully drop it eventually
It came from factory with 1.5" or 1" lower in the front
Im taking the 1" block out of the rear under the leafs
Ive been looking at lowering kits and have no idea
If they have everything ill need
Some kits are a few 100 some are over 1000
Id like peoples imput and reveiws on
Cheapest ways and the proper ways to lower the truck
I know everything about lifting trucks
But not alot on lowering
Id like it to sit extremely low
As i never tow anything or use the bed for anything
I use the truck as a summer cruiser and more of a show truck then anything

I dont know if it would make more sense to bag it
Or to just have a non bagged drop
I dont want to spend a ton of money either
But i dont want to put anything on the trucj
Thats cheap quality
Whats the lowest i can take the truck without having
To spend crazy amounts of money

Any suggestions on good kits to buy?
Id like it as low as possible but still needs
To be able to go over speed bumps.... Slowly maybe on an angle
Haha
Thanks for any help!

Im in southern ontario how much for shipping
Also does this kit include absolutely everything ?
What quality is the kit?
Is this a high end kit or the cheapest one ?
Also how does this kit install? How many hours roughly?
Something i can do my self with friends help
Or do i need very specialized tools and experience
In lowering
I have alot of knowledge and experience lifting trucks but this is my first time lowering

ontario will be more for shipping price above is lower 48 states.
kit includes everything and belltech is one of the best brands.
highest kit is the kw coilovers and rear flip kit which is 1700 for what you are doing this kit is fine.

just need s compressor for front and its not a hard kit to put in. 5-7 hours install time for first timers.

Also any idea how low it will be sitting off the ground?
Would it be possible in the future to go lower
With this kit or would i have to take this kit out
And buy a new kit

Would going even lower require bags and an on board
Air compressor ?

And the kit comes with everything ill need right? I wont have
To go buy other parts as well?
