Default Ground Force

Can any body share the ride quality of a Ground Force kit, front coils and rear leafs, as compared to factory ride? Trying to decide between DJM and Ground Force on an '08 GMC 1500.

I have a Ground Force kit on my truck. I like it but the only thing I would do is add a rear sway bar if you don't have one. I bought a Hellwig bar. I had problems with the rear bouncing more than I liked. The sway bar helped out a bunch. The rear end also stays planted way better than before.

if you have an rst you have a different ground force kit than the public can buy. the rst kit is a 1/3 - coils in front and shackles and hangars in back. the one for the public is a 3/5 with coils in front and leafs and shackles in back.

leafs with lower payload capacity. and ive heard that some have had problems with alignment on the coils

I have the 3/5 drop and I must say it is a bit rough at times. I would recommend a notch out back and I really should have went with spindles up front. I am just going bags next.
