Has anyone lowered there HD?

Thinking about lowering the HD when i get it. Ground Force makes a 1" Front and 2" rear drop for it. Does anyone have any input on how they ride or handle now? Ive got big plans for the truck when i get it.

thanks

I put 2" drop shackles on the rear of mine just to level it up.

How does it ride and handle? Well, it still rides and handles like a big scary speedboat.

Never mind the direction, feel the power

Im looking to do something fairly cheap. Its showing springs and shackles but doesnt show a price. I think it will be pretty cheap anyway. I plan on getting some 22's for the truck. Im in the market for some 22x9 or so for the front and would like to find 22x11s for the rears.

Yep. 2/4 Eibach drop. Handling is great with no tire wear. Expert alignment highly recommended after drop. - Og

I dont think Eibach makes anything for the 2003.

90% of my suspension was eibach on my 03. anything that fits 97-03 will fit your truck, they all have the same frames
