honestly I think you are going to hate both of them. Ground force stuff is way over priced and you aren't getting any better stuff.
The belltech kit comes with nitro drop shocks which in my opinion are the worst shocks every created.
If I were you I would go this route:
Find some used 2" Belltech or McGaughy's spindles. Spindles don't wear out, I've never heard of someone breaking one and you'll know why if you've ever seen one before.
You can usually get good used spindles for $200. I think there was even a set in the for sale section.
If you really don't want to go used I would get this:http://www.stylintrucks.com/parts.as...0&partid=17764
Control arms won't affect your ride at all over stock, and you won't need new shocks for the front.
For the back shocks I would buy some doetsch tech shocks from sporttruckdirect. They're like $55 each.
That whole setup would end up running you less than $550 which is barely more than the ground force kit and would be MUCH MUCH better of a drop.
If you have that much money to spend I would definitely stay away from drop coils.

good idea random hero. Also, tbyrne has a good sale going on for hotchkis suspension parts, they make front coils and rear leaf springs, i've heard that it's a good setup. Those along with the rear shocks that random hero stated would be a good option too.

I have got a ground force 3/5 drop. I like the look but the ride is pretty bad and if the road is bad forget it it rides like pure ****. Don't get me wrong it handles great and I can turn on a dime but if I had it to do all over again I would have saved my money and got bags and i will later on.
