2012 FX2 Drop
since late 03 ive done well over 80 trucks with the kw front coilovers and rear shocks with the djm or belltech rear flip and NEVER had a complaint. I have a lot of older customers that need the truck lower to get in easier and ride is important.
Ive sold many more on here not one person has said they were unhappy with the kw kit.

Beautiful truck.... mine is same ... not like I am jaded, lol. I can't believe ford makes a stock 4x2 so high. I am 6'2" and have to get "up" in it. Mine also has the fourth overload leaf on the rear leaf pack. Yours? Have you made any headway on lowering it? I am in same boat and kicking so many options around.
Consider the inches vs. the $'s, Sgt...
Starts to get fairly costly if what I read into all this is true.
If you do this 2/4, does this mean new spindles, a flip kit, and new struts and shocks? If cost isn't a factor, this may be the ticket for you.
I will tell you this, the Street Performance shocks all around is a great starting point in any lowering system. I love mine.

Thanks Jim.... to a limit the cash is not the issue.. I want a look I like with a good ride. I think putting out the cash for the strut and shock/shackle might not even be noticeable vs. going 2/4. so a few more hundred bucks is not a big deal. but I am not a fan of the flip kits, thus my looking into groundforce. Maybe getting groundforce springs front and rear with CB bracket but using belltech strut and shocks is what I am thinking now. for some reason I have seen alot, probably to many thus my confusion, of trucks with the flip and the djm seems to low for me. It looks like the GF one is a little more subtle. What I can't figure out is why so many differences in how these trucks look... I have seen several 4x2 with the belltech strut and shock/shackle set up and they vary. some look perfect to me and some don't look like the changed height at all.
different leafs are used and spring rates. This is why you have to mesure the truck. You want to have at least 1/2 inch of rake and due to the way the wells are cut that will give you the rake you want.
