My 2/4 drop was with leaf packs. I dont notice that much difference in ride quality. After installation, the drop was closer to 2/5.5 though. Which was perfect (IMHO) for the Vmax. I'm still using the stock shocks, but want to get some other ones.

Did you use spindles for the front. How can they advertise 4" leafs and you end up with 5.5". Have you hauled anything in it since you lowered it. Also where did you get your denali grilles from.

I'm planning on going with the Ground Force 2/4 on my Z71 4x4...it comes with their shocks for the rear. Do you think the Belltech StreetPerformance shocks would work better for the front than the stock Z71 shocks? Would there be any problems with running Belltechs shocks up front and Ground Force shocks out back?

I did use the spindles up front. I measured all four corners before the drop and after. That's how I concluded it was more like a 5.5. I bought the upper and lower grilles from the Dealer friend.
