Default Looking for 2/4 drop options for 2014 SCREW??

Looking at McGaughys Deluxe 2" / 4" Drop Kit #: 70029 or Ground Force Kit #9861for my 2014 SCREW...want to keep as close to stock ride as possible, any issues with either kit?

Are there any other options?

Opinions on which to get?

Plan on running my stock 20's if anyone has pics of either setup on stock 20's.

Thx.

U can check out my thread here https://www.f150forum.com/f66/my-fx2-drop-321007/
I posted the steps and drops that I went through to it's current state of 3.5 Front 5 Inch Flip in rear!..U only used BellTech Struts for the front and DJM Flip Kits. Never use the 4 Inch DJM Flip.. the design on that system sucked and had Driveshaft Vibes no matter what I did. Biut Now it's all good at 5 Drop. But you are not looking to go that low....So I would recommend Belltech For Front and Rear...but I heard and seen the McGaughys Rear FLip are also pretty good. and a few members on here have it also with good results! Good Luck Bro! Post pics when u get it done!

Thx for the info/link, Sweet looking truck.

I like the earlier pic too, with Belltech front struts set to a 1.5 Drop, will go with my current 2 inch rear shackles....for the rake.

Are those stock 20's, like the Bora spacer as well, sounds like the 1.25" wont have any issues....

Thnx bro! Yes they are the Stock 20's. And yea if u get 1.25 spacers you will be good to go...with the 1 inch once I just trimmed down the ends of the studs a little just to have peace of mind. But they sit perfect now without any problems!

IIRC the 2014s you wouldn't be able to use the Belltech struts unless you swap out the LCA. Sucks I wanted to go that same route with my Tremor.

I know Abrams used GF for a little bit on his Tremor, it was stiff with the GF shocks. Looked good. My .02 is I'm going McGaughys kit. Just a coil spacer for the front and flip in the back. Just using a shackle for the rear on mine.

I was also looking at the McGaughys 2/4 kit. Any driveshaft issues at that drop?

Yes, will need to relocate bearing/shim or deal with the vibes... I haven't figured out which so I just deal with the vibes. I bought a 4* shim but the way you have to flip the spring studs doesn't give anywhere to hook up. I installed the Mcgaughys kit a year ago, would not recommend or install again.

Seems the 14 has issues with finding a lowering kit without ride issues, def dont want to sacrifice any ride quality...
