SuperSport Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Looking for a good place to buy the ground force lowering kit. Wanted to know if you guys found a wholesale price or a friend that hooks it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvsteve Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Summitracing is the best I have heard so far. They quote $357 and shipping is free. 4wheelparts quoted me $399 plus tax. That didn't even include the install. I am curious what people are paying for the install becuase the torsion bar unloader (p/n: j-36202-a) costs $115. But I guess you can unload the torsion bars with a gear puller also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightshift Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 I just got a price from 4Wheel Parts, the G/F kit, installed, and aligned $700 out the door. Kit is $391+tx, the rest labor and alignment. Said it would take 3 hours, and I can hang out and take pics. WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WW Do it yourself and take that $300 that you would have spent and buy something else for your truck. It's a good experience, if you've never done before. Not really that hard and a good excuse to buy tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshift Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 It's a good experience I've given that some thought. How good of an 'experience' is it? Bolting the headers on was such a 'good experience' I'll never do it again. WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 "First times" always have the possibility of being painful without the benefit of experience to fall back on. But, you have to get it some how. Get someone to come over and help you. That way someone can share the pain. Hopefully you'll get someone who has some wrenching experience - the non puking kind. On the headers thing: do you think now, with the benefit of experience, that if you were to do now, it'd be easier? Get the directions ahead of time and read them. Get a Haynes for a '99+ chevy/gmc truck for ref. They don't make one specifically for the SS. I'd be surprised if they did. Although an '03 manual may be available now.

Nightshift Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 I used to be into doing all my own work, and enjoyed it. Is that showing my age?? LOL Nowdays it's easier to write a check as long as you know who's doing it will do it right. The problem is finding somone to trust. I was proud of myself saving the $150 on the header install, even though I whined a few weeks. I'm giving it thought, have to research it some. BTW: Whats it run to get one of these trucks aligned?

BenKey Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 BTW: Whats it run to get one of these trucks aligned? WW 50-60 bucks. I'm guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
