Wheelchair user, need to lower 2012 4x4 SCREW

Hello I have a 2012 4x4 Supercrew that I need to lower to help me in getting in and out of the truck. I need to keep 4x4 functional for towing and winter driving. Lower the better but want to keep reliability and ride.

From all the reading I've been doing a 2/4 or 3/5 kit seems like the best option.

What are your thoughts? I've been told the DJM control arms and flip kit are the way to go... then told the Belltech struts and shackles are the way to go...

Any help would be appreciated...

What's the purpose of the truck? Any towing or heavy hauling? Or just people mover?

probably be just better to lower the rear to be level with the front. Any lower than that you should of bought a 2wd truck.

I still think for the rear a flip kit and helper bags will be the answer.

or lowering leafs + shackles and helper bags

as for the front I have no idea, lowering struts? spindle? Idk what the front suspensions are of the newer trucks.

2wd struts only give 1.5" on 4x4 for 2012. He'd be better off going BT struts that give adjustable -1 -2 -3

rear do block delete and shackles, or if you want more than 3" out back do block delete and 3" leafs.

Should be able to get a 2/4 or 3/5 pretty easily, which should put you about a 1/2 drop on a 2wd
