Default 4x4 Guys who want to go lower

I have some good news. Kevin at Groundforce got back to me today and theyre going to use my truck for their prototype 4x4 drop kit. Im dropping the truck off monday and he said it should take 7-10 days. They will be testing out a leveling kit first for the offroad guys, then putting on either a 2/3 or 2/4 depending on what it needs.

As far as I know, Groundforce will be the only company offering a 4x4 drop kit. I've called airride, McGaughys, and DJM and none of them have any interest.

Congrats on working out that deal with Groundforce MMMMRice. Of course, pictures posted on the forum is a mandatory condition of that arrangement. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out, and better yet, hearing how it performs.

Thanks, It was very close to not happening. They said they are going to take pictures with the lexani wheels they had on the quad cab. He said he could sell them to me but im not sure if I like them.

So why do you want to lower a 4x4? That seems kinda ridiculous to me.

I knew it wouldnt be long...

I want it to be a sport truck. I plan on making it fast enough to make use of awd launches. Why does the jeep srt-8 come in awd? Why do subarus come in awd, its a car? I dont like taking my trucks offroad but it needs to get through the occasional snow. Heres my last 2 trucks. The black one was taken offroad once and I scratched the **** out of the paint, so I will not do it again.

That's what I figured. 4x4 is different then awd though. Anyway, looks like you're a bowtie guy. What made you switch? Also, what kind of tires you got on those? Are they the same on both trucks?
