All these do is lower the back end by removing the stock shackles and replacing them with a smaller one to level the whole truck out. I had it done on my old truck, and it improves the look dramaticly. Nice truck man!

I use my truck bed quite a bit for work so this will be as low as I go. If I went any lower than my truck bed will be totally useless for me.

none. if you want an opinion on the shackle, I love it! It's extremely heavy for a piece of steel well built. Welded properly. Fit is extremely snug. The shackle fits the 04-08's as well so it's been around. I jumped on my bumper as hard as I could and still had 1/2 in. Clearance. And I'm a really big dude. Best part? I enjoy the view!

looks nice. i just lowered my '08 4x4 using the ground force kit last week. the back end is still about 1/4" higher than front.. so thats perfect for what i planned.

FordDan.. these trucks look so rugged.. big wheels, tall cabin, lots of ground clearance... and then theres the tailpipe. Whats that- a garden hose stickin out behind your back wheel? oh its a tailpipe Get rid of that pencilnecked rusty pipe lol. .Aside from that.. Nice truck man
