Default whats the best 2/4 lowering kit?

got a 2013 FX2 with a 5.0 SuperCrew. Looking to install a 2/4 drop and want the best ride quality i can get. Also need something that will not interfere with solo-performance dual exhaust system.
belltech, JDM, ground force, etc....

I have the 2/4 GForce on my 2010 fx2 ride quality remained good, Although the struts started leaking prematurely
I'd recommend a good set of shocks and struts at time of lnstall

would love to see some pics. also i would like to know if it is easy to return to stock if i ever was to sell the truck. I think 3/5 is just a hair too much for my taste but it does look good when done right. The wheels make or break the truck!

I'm dropping mine over the stock STX Sport 20s

But check this thread if you have a 2014 like me!

I was under the truck today looking at some measurements and by doing a flip kit (4" drop) it does not look like there would be any room for suspension travel. only about 3" before bottoming out. anyone who has installed a flip kit, would you be willing to post a pic or two showing the space between the frame and the axle.
Thanks
