Default Ground force #9999

Still waiting to pull the trigger on a lowering kit. Anyone have any feedback on this ground force kit? Pros,cons? Would love to see a picture of a new body reg cab truck with this kit or at least a 3/6 drop on it. Preferably with skinny/big drag tire set up! Lol. Had in my mind I wanted to go 4/7 but ground force only showed a 3/6. Wondering what people with this kit thought about the lowering leafs. Any more suggestions? DO NOT want to c notch.
Thanks guys

If the kit comes with lowered leafs, I would not pay the extra money. Just do the flip, spindles and belltech struts. The ground force lowered rear shocks and spindles are good. The lowered leafs suck. They bounce like crazy, start making noise in the bushings quick and cannot support any load. I started with their 2/4 drop originally and hated the ride. The kit was twice as much as one with a flip-kit.

Pretty sure #9999 is the kit on my wish list and it is a flip kit not a replacement leaf kit. Now stop fartin around and order it so you can post pics afterwards

Huh, I've found it listed two different places. One says flip kit and one says lowering leak kit. Idk. But I'm gonna need new leafs one way or the other. Mine have been heated.

Im in the process of redoing my shock setup on my nnbs rcsb 4/7 drop. After im finish my setup will consist of McGaughry drop spindle, Vi-king struts and Hyperco springs. The rear has the McGaughry flip kit and Vi-king shocks. Later this year im building a 4-link for the rear and Vi-king struts/Hyperco springs. Hope this helps you and good luck with your project.

As poor as the reviews are on aftermarket leafs I'd pony up for a pair of oe replacements or used take offs if it was me.

I think I will. Also looking at the Belltech 644SP. It's a tad cheaper than the ground force kit ,uses a flip kit,& comes with new shocks. Anyone used this kit?
