Belltech's 2"/4" or 3"/6" drop kit?

[Jrel209]

I'm wanting to lower my '21 2wd Super Crew, once I take possession of it in October. I know Belltech has a 2"/4" drop currently, but hopefully, by the time I get my truck, they'll have their 3"/6" drop kit released? I want my truck to look identical to SCT's SEMA Ranger from 2019 below.

I'm planning on running 20x9 wheels, +18 Offset, 5.75" Backspacing, with 265/50 Toyo's and also using the Air Design Fender Flares, just like the SCT truck.

So, which kit do yall think would work better for me, considering the options I'm going to use?

Nope, I was looking for them in black, but can only find them in chrome

these are the wheels on the SCT Ranger.
tirerack has several wheels from Method in the 20"size that you are looking for in various colors, but mostly black, bronze, and silver/chrome.

No, it's not... I just emailed Belltech last week and here's what they said.

"Thank you for contacting Belltech. We are still in production on the 3”/6” kits for the new Ranger lowering kits. They should be available right around late September early October. The kit will be starting at right around $1,100 plus shipping."

They didn't give me anymore information, other than that... I assume it's going to have adj. coilovers in the front and maybe different control arms, since this drop is $400 +/- more than the 2"/4" one...

Yes..., I found the wheels months ago. But, they're not the 305, they're the 605, per my email from MWR. Anyway, I was replying to Jrel209 to not being about to find the fake bead lock bolts in black...

Yea.... I know, but I'm trying to tell you people wtf the Belltech people are telling me! I've been talking to 2 different Belltech techs over the last couple of months! Email them and ask for yourself!

Can anybody who did this modification (Belltech) comment on the ride quality of the shocks included in the kit.
How do they compare to stock shocks or FOX/Bilstein if you have tried those?

I did a max drop on the front, about 2.5”. The front is MUCH stiffer than stock. The rear is not bad, and doesn’t rock back and forth like stock. So if you lower all the way down expect a very different ride.

You know what, I am 110% SURE about it! Look at the part #, that Brett posted in his info, clearly says ....MR605.....! I talked to Method Racing already, even sent them a pic of Brett's truck and they also informed me that they were, in fact, 605's, not 305's.... They don't even make the 305 in a 10" and even more misinformation is the offset he posted, they're -24mm, not -12mm...

If you had done any comparison/research of the wheels yourself, instead of bashing me for my research, you'd see as well!

So is there in fact a Belltech 2/4" rear drop kit, seems like 2" would go a long way to making the truck sit more level without giving up a hell of a lot of range or capability on the rear travel for dirt roads (like forest service). I'm replacing my bed with a Service body and want it to sit a little lower for easier loading, but not lose a lot of capability. I don't see anything on their site but the 3/6" kit.

What they are talking about is a full lowering kit which is 2" front and 4" rear. Have seen nothing for the Ranger with less than a 4" rear drop because it requires an axle flip to lower the rear of the ranger. To get a 2" rear drop would require a axle flip and new higher arch springs. No one that I know of is offering this kind of kit yet. I wish someone would though. We need something between jacked up and slammed.
