Ground Force

Anyone have an opinion (boy thats a stupid question !) on ground force suspension kits? Looking at the 1"-2" for my L. It's available at the only quality shop in town (PGS El Cajon) off the shelf making it easy, but easy doesn't make it good.
Thanks Again

P.S. With or without the shocks if recommened.

I had the ground force kit first, its a good cheap kit, won't adversly effect handling, I didn't really feel a "ruffer" ride over stock, it handled well, I added shorter front and rear sway bar endlinks, I don't believe new shocks are needed with that little drop but if you have the $ QA1's are great. Looking back though I wish I had spent the money on the roush kit I have now first, the ground force kit is perfect if thats all you want to lower your L, but I eventually wanted lower and am now happy with the roush suspension kit. the ground force kit is inexpensive and easy to install, so if you like the ride height of it go for it, If you think you may want lower in the future just save for a better, lower, kit.

It's great if you're just getting into dropped vehicles. I like how much it lowered it. Very noticable, but not extreme to where I had to replace shocks, c-notch frame, etc. Cheap, easy, and noticable over stock, but you won't go through 3 bumpers learning how low you really are. My .02.

I just had my first experience with that a couple days ago, sucks!!!!!! had to run into a store really quick, pulled up to far and hit curb stop. the bottom of front fascia is scratched, I know it will cost a bunch to fix, so I may try to do it myself since you really can't see it unless your under the truck.

If your not looking for anything drastic, you can't go wrong for the money.

I have been very satisfied with mine.
