Mcgaughys 70029. Lowering 2013 fx2
Whats up guys im new to the site and have a question about this 2/4 kit. Basically what is and how do I install the shock extenders up front? Or would it better just to go for a 3/5.5 drop from beltech. Thanks in advance.

I would recommend the Belltech kit. The front struts will actually improve the ride quality over factory. Simply install. The rear flip kit will keep it riding near factory as well. If you have any questions please let me know.

You will need a shorter shock for the rear when using a flip kit. Use part number 2211EE from Belltech's Street Performance line.
The front coil spring is sometimes a matter of opinion. One guy might like it but the next might hate it. Lowering springs do typically change the ride quality. Depending on brand it might be stiffer or softer than factory.
By using the Belltech lowering strut you actually enhance the performance and ride quality up front.

this is wrong. 2009 up require different rear shocks then 04-08. I did another 2013 f150 yesterday and in rear they 09 up 2212EE while the 04-08 2211EE in rear. Just a heads up for future reference

Thats the 2010 application guide. I install these kits also so yah you need a update.
If you go on belltechs site and type in 972sp you will see the shock you said is wrong for 5.5 on 09 up. Give Roel a call on monday tell him tony from the trailblazer ss site sent yah he will take care of you with the new upgraded application guide. If you have anymore questions on the kit just hit me back im always around to help
