Hey guys, I'm trying to decide between the McGaughy's 2-4 drop or the Ground Force 2-4 drop. I can get both for the about the same price, but just not sure about which one. Which would you guys recommend? I'll be putting on the kit myself, any advice on putting these kits on? Thanks

hey man i just put the mcghauys kit on less than a month ago and it wasnt too bad at all 2 jack stands 2 jacks and air tools and a couple of semi mechanical savvy friends. it took us about an hour for the front and about 2- 2 1/2 for the back... you can get away with doing the front end without having to bust the ball joints open if you remove the springs front the bottom. just make sure that like jay said everything is tight. i say mcguahys man. mine rides great and controls awesome just watch big holes and bumps bc u WILL bottom out lol! Here is how she sits with the mcguahys 2/4.5 drop... new rims and hopefully bags soon

I appreciate it guys. I really like the way your truck sits on the McGaughys kit...I believe I will probably go with them. Have heard nothing but good things about them.

well in my honest opinion if you plan on baggin id leave it where its at because when you bag it all that stuff is pretty much useless i was thinkin lower but i want bags and im not gonna waste the money to put a kit on just to have custom stuff made in the long run ....now it may be a yr or so b4 i get to this but i still cant see thrown money away or even at to try to sell it afterwards but thats just me.....

Hey Hollywood do you have aftermarket shocks all around or still using the stock? I'm thinking about just staying stock.
