Default belltech strut settings

installing a 3-5 belltech kit on a '16 4x4
i know the factory 4x4 sits taller in the front due to taller spring perch on stock struts and thats why they list the drop struts as 2" on 4x4 and 3" on 2wd
is there any reason not to use the 2wd 3" setting on a 4wd?
control arm holes are already elongated from previous drop kit
worried that with the 5" flip in the rear the front may sit too high

BT claims that's because of alignment issues and a decrease in strut performance. BT fixes alignment by hogging out the LCA mounting points further which I never liked so I deal with the pronounced camber. ( have been eyeballing some adjustable UCA's from IHC that should fix the problem: https://ihcsuspension.com/product/cr...er-correction/). I'm guessing if you go past their chart, their little frame mod won't fix your alignment.



Other option is to buy a 4" flip kit instead and it'll sit flat like this guy did (From MaxTracs). BT makes a 4" if you want to stay in the family P/N 6447 or use the MaxTracs flip :
