Default McGaughy's Lowering Struts

Anyone tried these yet? I'm wondering how they compare to the Belltech's?

I know the belltech ride stiff as hell. But they kinda have to when the trucks lowered 4/7 lol. Didnt know mcgaughys got into the lowering strut game.

ive had them about 7 months now..there pretty good, they have a softer ride for sure..i guess the only benefit i can think of is they can give you up to a 3 inch drop..

That's too bad. I really liked the firm ride of the Belltech's when they were new, but they wore out way too quickly. After 18 months in my truck, they're junk.
Do you guys know of any other manufacturers who make a lowering strut?
