Default Drop kits...

I searched but really couldn't find anything between the two. I was dead set on the FRPP 2/5 drop kit from American Trucks. Then they turned me to Ground Force. I have never heard of them till I got on the website...I was never really looking for them either. But I see it is an all American Made kit, and is lifetime warranty. Which really makes me like it.

Basically, has anyone had any experience with either of these drop kits. Pros and Cons? GF kit is 20$ more...but for the quality of it...I would be more than willing to pay the difference.

Thanks guys/gals

Matt

Um. I don't want to go lower than that...and I want it even looking no rake...

I wasn't asking what YOU would do, I was asking what is the better kit. Thanks

Kits are springs in the front and axle flip kit for the rear both with shocks. Kits are simliar is components...just 20$ diff in price...

Truck is 2wd. I measured it out, and if it drops it like advertised...it will be even, front to back.

Thanks for the replies!

Ground Force it is...

Right. I have about 4" between the tire and the fender in the front and 7" between the tire and fender in the back. Hence, 2/5...Should even it out sir.

Thanks!!!

I'm using a GF kit on the rear of my truck for over a year now with no problems. There a good company with good parts, they think of everything even pinion shims (not all kits come with these) so you don't lose your factory ride. GO FOR IT!!!
