dadunn17 Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 I am looking to lower my SS but i am unsure of what brand and method to use. From looking at some of the past discussions it seems that no matter what i do my ride is gonna suffer and i was just wondering which kits have brought the best results for those who have lowered.

r8rs4lf Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 I don't know where you read that any way you go, your ride will suffer. I have the McGaughy's deluxe kit which includes the spindles, shackles, hangers, and all the hardware. IMHO it rides just like stock if not better. I had to turn down the torsion bars a little to get it to sit even, but that made it ride better. As far as I know, there are only two different ways to go with our trucks. The McGaughy's kit or a kit which consists of just shackles and hangers and in the front, you need to turn the torsion bars. I've read a few posts where some people didn't like the second method I mentioned. I would highly recommend the deluxe McGaughy's kit if your looking to keep the stock ride quality. I believe the kit was about $420.00 to my door. Late- Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadunn17 Posted January 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Sounds good and the price is pretty reasonable. Thanks for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 i definately recommend mcgaugty's drop i didnt even know my truck had one. the only thing i notice is mine isnt as low as some of the others on here but it is fine with me ( the previous owner didnt install one of the pieces) but ground force makes a kit also that involves torsion keys and hangers/shackles i do beleive if you want to keep virtually the same ride quality to go with a spindle drop. I hear beltech is coming out with a new spindle drop soon but that is just what i hear i have not seen any thing from beltech yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebbb Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 I know some people don't like it, but I went with the Bell Tech shackles and lowered the front with torsion bar bolts. It lowered it 1 3/4 in the rear and then I went down about 3/4 in the front. I now sits just a little bit lower in the front, just the way I wanted it. I am very happy with results. It rides the same and seems to handle better. I had the front end aligned after I was done. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuganator Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I have the ground force kit in my sss. I love it. The ride is very comparable to stock. The kit came with new shackles, bump stops etc. I am very happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
