i want my truck lower need advice

[Fishdizzle]

right now the truck has ground force suspension on it right now with the rear shackle in the middle.

heres what my stance looks like now:

my question is ... is the ground force a good kit? should i keep it and alter some of it or just get rid of it all and start fresh ...

id like my truck to sit about the same as ACSVT which is about a 4/6 ish drop could this be done with the ground force kit with some altering and new parts?

i want it this low :banana:

throw some hangers in the back and cut the front coils or add spindles.

Hangers, shackles, and spindles should do the trick.
Don't cut the front coils too much or you will hurt the ride and have trouble getting the front end aligned good enough to keep from eating the tires up..

 

[Fishdizzle]

I don't really want to cut coils I'd rather buy new coils... I'd also like to stiffen it up a bit too

 

[BlownBolt]

Im pretty sure AC cut his coils, i think thats the only way you can get it that low

ACT has 2'' drop coils and 2'' spindles IIRC up frount.

Me personally would do C notches, hangers, shackles and shorter shocks and extenders out back and spindles and Hotckhis springs up frount, if I wanted to go that low. My old truck was 3/5 and had great road manners but IMP that is about as low as you want to go on a DD or you REALLY got to watch where your driving.

hangers in the rear and belltech 3 inch lowering springs up from 4804 is the part number.

+1, the Hotchkis springs will give you the stiffer ride you are looking for. They feel great, almost makes you forget that your driving a truck.

Definitely dump it. Looks way cleaner. I was planning on doin' this to my 04 I had, but it turned out to be a lemon deemed by Ford. Too bad though. I miss that truck.

HAHA word!

Alex knows whats up! he has the same set up i am running, and it is nice a low, about 1/2" higher than ACSVT has his in the front but thats cause of the 3" springs...

i got the parts off ebay and sourced around... the shocks were new, this is what i paid...

Beltech Springs $30
DJM Hanger Kit $40
JLP 58" bars $150
QA1s $250
Strange Shocks $140
