Silvsteve Posted August 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 I called Ground Force yesterday and talked to Dan. He says the hardware is all ready, but that the paperwork will not be ready for 2-3 weeks in order to ship the kits (Kit #9971). Price not yet available. Got this in an e-mail after I asked about the price and parts: Torsion keys, shocks, bump stops in several locations, extra long shackle. Retail around 300.00 Not bad... Not bad at all.

ctrow Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 I think it's reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsen Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 just wondering if you think the keys will be sold seperatly. i like the look of ctrows truck so i would like to buy 2 inch shackles and then get the keys for the front and crank them up just a tad for like a 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 drop. i know that sounds crazy but i just whant to close up the gap in the wheelwells a little. i've drivin a truck with a 4/6 drop for the last 5 years and i'm done with being that low.

Silvsteve Posted August 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Woohoo I got it lowered. So far it has only cost 55 bucks to have the shackles shipped to me. Which BTW is all I have pictures of (so far): The rear dropped almost 2 inches and I cranked the torsion bars about 7 times for an inch and half up front. I think it looks sweet. I will have pics as soon as the sun comes up. Gotta get an alignment first thing in the morning. I'll let everyone know what kind of problems I run into if any. Actually I lied. I have another picture. Here is a bat that was getting some shade under my back window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Can't wait to see it, Steve. I'll bet it looks great, buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvsteve Posted August 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Before: After: It is a pretty big difference. I can post more pics in a walkthrough type manner if anyone wants. Maybe we will get that tutorial section I am hoping for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawk Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 All right I am going to lower mine now, that looks grrrreat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Same question I ask everyone, Steve - how does it ride now? I want to do that too but I think this baby rides hard enough now. I don't want to do anything that will make it worse (even at the cost of better looks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voiding your warranty with a lowering kit? That shouldn’t void your warranty, but if you take the truck into the dealer for your one time only free alignment under warranty they may have an issue with that, if they are anal about it.

I want to do that too but I think this baby rides hard enough now. I don't want to do anything that will make it worse (even at the cost of better looks). Rides softer I guess. Kinda bouncey in the front now. Gotta do some research to see what I need to get it back to normal. It's not too bad I just liked it better before. Any ideas? Maybe torsion keys.. That is what they are supposed to do.. lower the front without softening it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2drTahoe Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Trucks looks great!! I'd say go for the torsion keys over changing the spring rate by turning down the torsion bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico750sxi Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 What did you do about the rear pinion shims? And how bouncy was it. Turning the BArs down seems a lot easier than doing the keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
