Well I ordered the kit today and we will have to see. I will take pics of the before and after. I really hate the look of the front lifted up to level it off. Plus my short like 5 8" and it damn hard to get anything in or out of the bed.

Ok just got done installing the lowering kit. It took two of us about 1 hr 45 min and thats without the right tools. My gravel driveway sucks to work on that's for sure.The kit I bought from Moss Motors came with great instructions and it went on fairly well. The truck sits damn near level now and looks good. I will try to post some pics.

Tough to tell with the pics but left is before right is after. If you look at the top of the rear tire you can really tell the difference.

how much of a drop did you get is it 2" in front and 4" in back or what. cause i have a 2000 lariat supercab and was considering getting the groundforce kit but i dont think it would look right. so i was considering just 2" drop shackles and i did not know if they would work out good enough to get the leveled look. and is it some what of a rough ride? oh yeah it looks good from what i can see.
