F-150 Suspension Questions

I'm pretty sure you can...but you'd lose payload and towing capacity.

Payload isn't that bad, though. Just shy of 1200 for the SCREW and 975 for the SCAB. Honestly people rag on it here, but its competitive with the JK and [some trim levels of] Tacoma. I get that those aren't direct comparisons, and admittedly its on the lower end of its more direct competition. I remember a while back, and I'm not sure if it was in my build thread or not, but someone was chastising me about how much I had in my bed. Like 2 passengers and myself, plus a cooler and some camping supplies isn't going to exceed 1200.

Towing isn't too shabby either, I've towed a 23 foot boat with minimal issue. Bit of sag, which would be eliminated by the the airbags @McCarthy mentioned. Plus, if you have Tow/Haul mode w/trailer brake it makes it stupid easy. That said, I'd still go with Deavers as they eliminate the axle block and virtually eliminates axle wrap without the need for a guide bar.

Update!

Ended up going with the Fox package. I was really torn and was leaning towards the bils as I thought they looked cleaner. I really wanted to support a small company (stage 3 motorsports) and both of the kits have been out of stock for weeks and the fox package was in stock today so I did it.

Also decided to keep an eye out for some raptor take offs. There are plenty in my area for around 1k. with under 5k miles on them and that way Ill have my lift and new tires done sometime soon.
