Opinions wanted...

Well its that time guys/gals... I have an 04 f150 2wd SCAB. I just picked up some 22 x 9.5's and a set of 285-45-22 Nitto N420s. My difficult part is now I need to decide on a lowering kit. I have searched around tried to decide on which kit to go with. I think I have decided on this one:

I really have no basis of comparison from this kit to any other. Im looking for the pros and cons if any. I have heard and read of many street trucks using the DJM brand so who knows. This is 100% my daily driver but I dont want to go too low and have any rubbing issues with the tire/wheel combo Im using either. If this is a good kit than my next question is, aside from Godfathers Customs who has the best price on this kit? Here is the link to the wheels I bought:

Link to the tires as well:

Any and all feedback will be greaty appreciated...

Id do the djm, friend of mine on here *azmidget) has the 2 or 2.5/5 I believe on his Scab with 22's, stance is awesome and its still driveable as a DD.

Interested in any other kits? Eibach is good, as is Ground Force. I have GF coils and leafs (2"x4" drop) with Eibach dampers on the corners. Nice setup.

Search Eibach's website and find a kit for your truck application, then search online for the best price. Many here use Eibach kits with success.

I have used Eibach's in several other projects and had good success. I just would like to get more input on other kits. Also Im really liking a 3/5 drop.

Just keep in mind it will be your daily driver. If things start to rub,or scrape its going to get annoying and fast! I have over 10 inches of lift on my truck and my tires rub occassionally...it gets annoying really fast. I'm sure you will be happy which ever way you go, good luck!
