Anyone know how difficult the install on the rear is for the groundforce kit? I don't want to have to remove the gas tank or do any kind of cutting/wielding just install a lowering kit.

I have read about everything possible about the lowering options... I am still unclear one thing...everyone goes with Belltech, and I know they are quality, and flip kits.. not a fan of those.. poor engineering on fullsize truck.. one thing I wonder is why Groundforce is not used or pushed???? forum run by competators??.. If you go to Truckin magazine, Hot rod mag... all the big custom truck folks they do their builds with Groundforce.... anyone have real unbiased input???

I will be going with front belltech with stock srings and adding shackles to the rear to get another 1in drop.

Also depends on what magazine if you look at the truck show not to long ago they did the belltech kit on it and love it.

Man... this is tougher choice than picking ice cream at grocery store... lol... OK .... my install guy recommended them too I just over cautious... nerotic... he also said my truck has fourth overload leaf in rear that could come out and get another 1/2 inch or so with shackles.. figure start there and go like 1.5 down in front... if not low enough my only fear is I have seen the DJM 4" flip, and it is right on 4" (GF 4" rear leaf is actually 3.75).. when level I think the new fords actual look like they sag in rear due to body shape. so if I go lower with DJM 4" flip is there a way to raise it a little or is lowering the front to like 2.5 the only option. Don't know if the flip has any options with blocks etc....
