Is the 2" coil front and 3" leaf spring rear drop from Ground Force a decent kit. I don't want to go any lower than this. Was seriously considering the RT suspension but I would like to drop the rear a tad lower to make it level. Still use this as a truck so no 8" slam for me. Any info would be great.

I have this kit and it performs great. The ride is stiffer than stock but cornering and handling easily make up for it. My front coils ended up dropping a tad more than the 2" so I dropped the rear another 1"(no stinkbug look for me). The rear is still higher than the front but just the right amount IMO. Oh, you will have to buy an extra set of bumpstops since the kit only includes new rear ones. You can purchase these (couple bucks) from the same company you purchase the kit from. Let me know if you have more Qs.

Thanks. How did you drop the rear the extra inch? Did you use blocks? I really wanted to stick with just a spring change.

I used 1" blocks for the rear. My truck is a ClubCab (more weight) which might account for it dropping a little more than advertised. Your Reg Cab might not have the same problem and will not need the blocks.
