Default Need lowering advice

Next week I'm buying a kit to lower my beast. My question is what kit would give me a leveled stance and fill in the wheel walls? I asked on f150online but that forum just seems so useless compared to some forums. Ground force said their 9998 will level it and it's a 2/5. I'm just worried about the back sagging. So with anyone that has experience with lowering the 04-08 f150s with 305/35/24 please share your knowledge.
Looks leveled but it's not. Got 2" shackles on it and still has a rake. But I want those wheel walls filled

U should look into a 3/5 drop. I have a belltech 4/6 drop on 305/35/24 and it rubs little in the front and lots in the back till u get a thinner tire or some airshocks to lift it up a bit

Not the best pic but it's a 3/5 djm kit. 305/22s only rubbed alittle in front when you hit a good size bump in the road.

Its gonna be close with you wheels offset. 2/3-4 will probably be most you're going to get.

All it has is a 2" lowering shackle in the rear. Front I have about 2.5 to 3" in front, and 3 to 3.5 inches in the rear. I don't know the offset on the wheels. But tire size 305/35/24
