FRPP

Bob, Can you give a part # and who makes that kit? Does it ride
any harder? How much was the FRPP kit and how much were
the rear springs? Your truck LOOKS awsome. I have an 03'
also and it looks like a wheelbarrow. Many thanks, Larry

Larry -

The kit is the same as the ground force kit, I got mine from Mark at Lightning force >>>

http://www.lightningforceperformance.com/home.html

The kit is cheap like $164 shipped, I picked up a set of 01 Leafs from a local L owner for good price also. I have less then $400.00 in the whole thing including labor and alignment.

It rides amazingly better imho.

The decrease in rake and the lower center of gravity makes it feel like a different truck all together.

Im totally pleased on all aspects of this modification.

was I the first to notice that you tried using some tricking visualy.

you have the truck parked at a slant favoring the rides extra height in the first ones then you parked it backwards to favor it looking more dorpped!

shame on your trickery!
