my girl has te ground force kit on her truck. It bottoms out on occasion, but nowhere near as much as say my 2000 camaro did. Ride is a little rougher than stock, but not too bad. Stock wheels fit just fine... no rubing at all noticed in 2500 miles of driving... cannot hep you on install had that done at the shop.

You should of got lowering springs IMO. I never liked how the stock springs ride. As for wheel gap...you should be sitting real nice. I had the 2/5 Belltech on my truck...and I thought the front could of gone a lil bit lower. Make sure you get your axle perches weld for the flip kit or you'll lose your drive shaft. Other than that...you should be set. No need to cut or weld anything else. Take some pics when your done.

I installed the DJM 3/5 Control arms with a flip kit, I had to cut the tie-rods about 8 threads, but it is not difficult. The end result is worth the work!
