drop in progress!!

[matthorvat]

all - i have started my drop on the 08 denali. using the groundforce 9855 kit for autoride. first i want to say that has turned out to be more complicated then anyother drop suspension that i have embarked!!

directions are flawless, product fit is right on, and i have no complaints to this point. im on my third day on contruction. i havent had whole days due to spending time with the family. but at the end on day two, the passenger side is complete other then the hub nut. need both brakes installed prior to tightening it.

the only problem ive encountered has been with factory sway bar. i cant get the screws out to remove it so i can install my new eibach one. just going to have the dealer install it when they do the front end alignment. if anybody has suggestions for tips from your own install id love to hear them. once ive completed mine i will end this thread with any and all tips, suggestions, issues, road blocks, etc. havent taken alot of pictures, i get caught up in the install and by the time i remember its pretty much pointless. but ill post what few i have and any additional ones after these!!

all drop is finished!! car is getting aligned in the am. it drives fine now, but the pitch of the wheel has changed since raising the wheel up two inches. as far as the ride. it does ride better after then it did stock!! i dont know if the new shocks are causing much of this, but a difference can be felt. my phone was not cooperating yesterday, and i didnt get any pictures of the rear end drop. i can say it only took an hour start to finish and was simple and straight forwward!! ps. remember to plug your anti-lock break wires back up prior to finishing. of course i did not, and my dash lite up like a christmas tree when i first tested it.

as far as issues i had, their werent many. cutting the ball joint bolts was probably the most difficult issue, which wasnt one. when the directions state having two people will help, they arent lying. all in all it went smooth. doing it again, would take half the time now that ive done it once. if anybody has any questions either about the arrnot shock swap and resistor wiring, or the ground force drop feel free to get ahold of me and ask away!!!

Looks good, Matt!

While we're talking looks, are you in love with that pinstripe? I suspect your truck would look even better without it. Just my opinion, of course.

Enjoy!
