I love them, the 90 was bought new by our dad and my borther worked with him and the 250 was his payment. All origonal and only 115xxx never seen winters. The 03 is his daily driver, but very nice as well. I do have a question for you tho blue. How was installing you lower shackles? Did it hurt towing abilities or anyhting like that?

Maybe if I were towing near the max capacity it would make a difference but all I tow is a loaded 4 wheel utility trailer, so can't tell a difference. For the first few miles, I thought it felt more "solid" when I hit a bump. After a few minutes, I never noticed it again. It corners and handles better. You pretty much forget it's lowered except when walking up to it and then I "say, dang, I'm glad I did that!" Looks so much better without all the blank space around the wheel.

I don't know about best source. Maybe direct. I do think Ground Force makes good kit. Just be sure to put the wedges in to realign the pinion. I bought mine at a local truck shop and they installed them.

WHat I might do then is hold off on them and have someone do the install. I could probably find a shop to do it around here.
