Beltech or Ground force?

[tblazin18]

I currently have the ground force 1.3/3 drop on my tb? do you guys think i should upgrade to the beltech or is it going to pretty much be the same thing? look at gallery and let me know thanx

from what i have read on here i wouldnt think you wouldnt see much differance:

beltech kit is 2" front and 3" rear

groundforce is around 1-3/8" front and 3" in the rear

that would give you a 5/8" differance in the front going from the groundforce kit to the beltech kit and rear would stay as is. from the looks of my tape measure thats about the width of my pointer finger (maybe they are fat though :undecided ) just to put it into perspective for you. If you do decide the 5/8" is enough to go for it let me know i will take the groundforce kit off your hands if the price is right :yes:

Disclamer: i didnt do any outside the forum research on the beltech kit drop measurments so i hope i am right :raspberry

I know people like both, I could notunderstand why you would want to switch though? Do you not like the GF? I do not think either one would be an upgrade to the other. :m2:

I would want that extra 5/8" clearance up front, frankly. I have seen enough parking lot approaches and parking spot bumpers that would tear the front of the truck up if it were dropped much more than the 1-3/8" kit does.

well for sone reason then front of truck doesnt seem as low as it should. for example look at the height of envoy22 and then mine(look at the gallery). it should be a huge difference like it is. But to me mine seem to be like stock height. I dunno i know his front lip does something but still. let me know

Also i only reverse park :) so the front doesnt matter

how long have the springs been installed? sometimes they need to 'settle' and will drop to correct ride height

Now that you mention it, when I first installed my GF springs, the front was slightly taller than the back.. now its perfect.

I've bottomed out the suspension a few times, I wouldn't go any lower :m2:

sometimes coils will settle after a period of time, i think most manufactures have them pre-set before you get them though. i remember when i lowered my civic it sat funny for awile, then in a short period of time came right down where it belonged

Agreed.

I would like to put a LIFT on my truck, but they are all $3000+ and would mess with my lease :yes:

Search on some previous threads, you can do a body lift and the 1.5" spacer lift for 4.5 inches of lift. That is all completely reversible from what I understand, I know the spacer lift is.
