ground force 9933

anyone have any complaints about this kit? i saw some people saying about the rear bottoming out and shock problems. what i am thinking is when i get the kit i eventually swap out the rear shocks for air bags and a small compressor. but if i do this will i have to c- notch the rear or not. also hows the ride quality? stiffer,softer, and under acceleration does it get "squirelly" easy? i miss my old ranger that was dropped 3/5 and im now going to drop the 50.

I have that kit with a few upgrades: Bilsteins for the front, and Ground Force Air Shocks for the rear to bring it up 1 inch, and fix the bottoming-out issue. If you just do the drop as-is, you will likely have seriously annoying bottoming out issues.

As far as ride quality...handles like a damn sports car (for a truck), a little rough, but not terrible. I think my 22s and 40 series tires had the most to do with the degredation in ride quality though.

yeah im getting dueces as well. i also came across the air ride tech. bag setup for our trucks and its 2400 and you need to buy your own compressor and valves i think. ill probably just get the ground force b/c its cheaper, even though i want bags.

i don't see how everyones problems would be different. same kit, same installation procedure, same hardware. so overall how satisfied are you guys?

go check out my other thread in the supercrew section.
