FRPP / Ground Force opinions

i looked around a little, but i was wondering if there is any issues i should know about before ordering this. will i need to take it and have it re-aligned? i kept reading that its a 1-2" drop but Ford says 1.18" all around. is that what the second hole is for? opinons?

Can't help you with the question, BUT ............

if you lived closer, I could set you up with a Ford Racing/Ground Force front springs for a great price. Less than a couple hundred miles on them.
Not shipping them, but if someone was closer to me
(The only reason Iam selling them. is the question of weight transfer)

I have the 1" 3" drop by them. Only thing I would suggest is that you shorten the rear sway bar end links by about 2" when using the 3" shackle.

you are better off have the truck re-aligned when ever you change something. its cheap than chewing uo those front tires. as for the back drop yes the shackles are adjustable with the two holes i think the one hole is 1 inch and the othe is 2 inches.

Not mine. I've hade the FRPP on for about 3-4 years with no measurable sag.

On a scale of 1 to 10 it would be a 5. I would set a side most of the day if you were going to do it yourself and have no experience. Recommend getting a friend with some knowledge to lend a hand. Or at least watch and feed beers. There is a lot of information on the subject and do it yourself tips if you run a search.
