The front-end is fine, no issues there.
I’d say decent ride height, but another 1-2 inches in the rear will level it out and might do wonders as it really is the bumper & rear-end that gets eaten up by driveways and has already gotten me stuck...
thinking of starting with incremental steps:
1. Remove bumper (that might give me another 2-3” in the rear + I like how they look without)
2. 1” spacers in rear
3. replace bags & shocks with longer travel
let me know thoughts, appreciate it

If you replace shocks with linger teavel make sure it doesnt overextend the bags

Good morning. I just installed my Belltech 1001SP kit this weekend on my 2019 Supercrew. I used the one large spacer ring for the front (what was required for the 2" drop according to Belltech instructions) and did the flip kit on the rear. My biggest concern is that the there is a 1-5/8 difference between the rear and the front. Keep in mind that I have not had the alignment done yet. What I'm asking is, will the alignment correct that to level or should I go ahead and add a smaller ring to the struts? Almost every one else's 2/4 drop looks level but mine is noticeably higher in the rear. Thanks in advance for taking the time to help.

Ok, Im running into a little issue. I have a 2019 2wd that I just installed the belltech 1000SP kit on and the ford dealership is saying they can't do an alignment unless I buy a caster/camber kit. I called belltech and they said they haven't heard of anyone needing one before. Also, the way the kit works is by using an alignment hole (that's no longer there due to having to elongate the holes by 1/2 inch). Has anyone else ran into this issue with their alignment shop?
