I had them on my 99, and they were terrible... never got the truck even side to side even though it was even with the stock springs. I junked them and went the Bell-Tech 4804 coils.

I have them on my Non-L and they work good. Its still a fairly good ride but stiff enough for some fun in the corners. I would prolly go with RUSLOW coils next time though. Oh, and my truck sits level side-to-side.

I have them on my truck, and they have a harsh ride. Front is not to bad but the rear tends to be all over the place on rough roads. The shocks that came with the kit were junk. I replaced them with bilstiens the were made for Lowered L,s. My truck has a 2/4 drop. Looks really nice but the ride lacks. Here are pics of my truck.

I'm running Ground Force 1" drop springs up front with 1/2 a coil cut off for an additional 1/2" drop along with Hotchkis rear leafs and 2" drop shackles. The truck sits great and for me I like how the truck rides and especially how it handles now. The ride did get just alittle stiffer, but nothing too bad.

Here is a pic of my current setup:

I have the Groundforce springs and shackles kit. Its been on for a few months now, has worked out great. The ride is a little stiffer, but it takes a corner like its on rails. Real easy install.... about 1 1/2 hrs. Check out my gallery for before and after pics. Thanks ~John
