Getting things together to do a drop for the truck and wanted to put parts list up before I bought to make sure I wasn't missing or overbuying. I'm planning on a 2/4 total drop

Front:
Belltech 25007
maxtrac drop spindles 103220
Should I get the 1" maxtrac drop springs, too? Do I need them?

Rear:
Fox 985-24-004
McGaughy's flip kit 70039 (or crown rear flip kit)

TIA

Dang, I'm looking to do the close to the same. Hope you don't mind if I watch the thread.
I'm Planning on:
Front: Belltech 25007 (2-2.5" drop)
Rear: Crown 4" flip (I like the idea of the add a leaf) and maybe the Monroe 58663 Coil over shocks. I tow every weekend during the summer and can't find helper bags that would work easily.

Also I am in DFW. Haslet Area.

Watching also. Im just getting into the market for a 2/4 or 3/5 drop and tow an RV a lot so need a good easy solution for those times.

2018 XLT SCREW here, looking at the same thing. 3"-5" drop is too much and stock ride height is way too high for my liking. I want to do a 2-4 drop and retain ride quality and towing ability so I'll be watching this thread myself.

I had the Monroe's wrong. Looks to be the 58642 Shock for the 4" flip.

Looks like I was right on my parts list if I go with the crown flip kit for the rear.

I don't know much about those monroes, but go-on3 is running Air-Lift 5k helper bags with custom mounting brackets. You might PM him if he doesn't see this and see how he got the brackets done.

The reason I didn't want to do the Maxtrac spindles is because you have to have a 20" wheel. My spare isn't a 20 and we use my truck for road trips. I don't want to be stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire. and I don't want to spend the extra cash for a new spare.
Go-on3's ride is AWESOME but I don't have the room in the budget for custom bags. #Budro has the Crown flip with the Monroe's 58642 and seems to like them. I PM'ed him but no reply.

I thought about doing the Full Belltech 1000SP and then doing Add-a-leaf's Because Crown is difficult to get a hold of. Not sure now. Thought I had mine all picked out then the places I was going to buy from I am having issues getting a hold of them.

I think I have settled on this
belltec drop struts at -3
belltec flip kit -5.5
viking shocks- rear
and possibly some type of bag set up to come...

basically the same set up as go-on3

starting to reconsider the belltech flip... whats the best out there? Seems like a lot of people are Frankensteining flips to get the best of each. Would love to avoid any damn vibrations.. also what are the benefits to using the shock extenders rather than just getting the proper length shock for your drop?
