Default Crown vs. belltech

2015-16 F150 Screw 2wd who's running what parts of which, first mods for the truck are definatly lowering it. I see it's probly better to piece the parts together I don't want any rake at all with about 2" down in the front.

Anyone doing any towimg wing with their lowered trucks I only tow a small boat and a side by side on a 6x12. Wondering if anyone's getting axle bump.

We have a Belltech Lower kit on our shop truck. 2013 FX2 F150 3.5L Ecoboost. Turned out really good overall! Not much axle bump except every once in a while over steep railroad tracks in town haha
Let us know if you have some questions on it!

The Crown 2/4 seems to be a little lower in the back. Most install their 1" lift shackle to correct. Here's a good thread with 2/4 and 2/4+shackle pics.

Complaints seem to be that it rides rough though.
I run the BellTech struts at 3" with a McGaughys flip kit and a few other things and I love the ride. Zero complaints.

This is a 100% Crown 2/4, the picture in front of the building was after installing a Crown 1" lift shackle to the rear.

The front rides horrible, can't be 100% positive, because I didn't measure before hand, but I believe the front was more than 2", because it will not align, and hits bump stops.

I am happy with the rear, its a 5" drop for a 4x4 BTW, and have ordered Belltech struts for the front.

I'm happy with the Belltech kit (3/ 5.5) and helper bag kit I threw together for towing. Best tow rig I've ever had ��
