Yeah it settles rides like a charm when I had my
22s with 35 series sidewall rode better than stock but with the 24s still rides just as good just feel more cause of the 30 series tires if u do the djm kit u will want 22s with 35 series sidewalls I had both 35 and 40 the 40 would rub if u do djm on 24s u will have to run 30s cause I tried 35s and rubbed like crazy

do you have any pictures of it with the 22s? The only thing im worried about is the kit wont drop mine as low as your truck because the crew cab weighs alot more than a reg cab and theres only one kit for crew cab/ext cab/reg cab and not a seperate one for each like the silverado drop kits.

that sounds like a good idea. Does anyone know which kit drops the f150s lower the belltech 4/5 or the djm 3.5/5? and does anyone know whats the lowest i can go and not have a problem with alignment?

4 is about the lowest I would go mine is just tipping the mark where it can't be aligned I think the belltech is 3-5 u might be able to go down to 4.5 in the front but I would push it no further

I would like my truck to have as little gap as possible between the fender and the tire, but not so much that it rubs without even hiting a pot-hole.
275/45/22 will rub with a 3.5 front drop
