05 F-150 Lowering Kits (HELP)

What's up guys I'm new to the forums and new to lowering my truck. All of my previous trucks have been lifted, and I really don't know much when It comes to lowering. I just purchased an 05 F-150 SuperCrew 5.4L 2WD. I want some opinions on which drop kit you guys think is the best and that rides well. The only one I have really looked at is Ground Force, I really don't know how it pars up to the rest of the lowering kits but looks pretty good. I also will be adding 305/40/22 Tire, with Gianelli 5 Shot 22" wheels. Please Help me out thanks guys.

Yall needa check out crf250racer. Look for that username on here. His truck I believe is one of the better looking ones and most post up in the 2004-2005 section. but anyways search for that usernames gallery or look through the 2004-2005 section. This guys got a 3 inch in the front and 5 inch in the back drop looks real good.

I,ve posted about a dozen messages about my Air Ride Suspension. I really love it. the ride is unequalled in quality. Firm where you need it, soft where you need it, and completely adjustable on the fly. It is pricey, final cost for all parts was about $3800 and i did about half the labor my self. if your interested in my experience with air bags, just look up 'all posts' by jondog9. also check 'aftermarket suspension' section if you haven't already.
