So let's try this again! Here is a newer picture. Now I have added the Ground Force rear 4" drop springs and got rid of that lame lifting spring perch on the front of the rear springs. So I will try and get some new pictures of that today or tomorrow.
But man what a difference in the ride! Differential is back where it belongs! Leaf springs are on the top. All factory hardware is being used, zero vibration.

How would you rate the ride quality with the GF leafs compared to stock? I found the GF kit to feel stiffer than stock

It's amazing how smooth this truck is now! I thought the stock spring with the lift shackles rode good.... Not even close! It's back to that smith stock ride again. I running the belltech Street Performance shocks on the rear. I swear these Ground Force rear spring are the factory Ford leafs re-arched for a 4" drop. They look identical in every way! I'm very happy with this mod.


And I fixed the only issue I had with the DJM lowing kit! Got rid of those lousy lifting shackles....

Can you tell me what part number for the GroundForce 4" drop rear leaf springs and Belltech shocks?

I recently installed the DJM 2/4 flip kit. Happy with the overall stance but not overly pleased with the look of the DJM hardware (perch as you called it) on the front of the rear springs. Also intrigued by your comments of a better ride with this setup.

I could sell you my GF 4" drop leafs if you are interested. The part number is #9861

I really have no idea on the part #, called Ground Force and told them to send them on. The guy never told me and I never asked. I have no invoice ether. Just a packing slip and two huge leaf spring... Oh yeah and a charge on my card!
