just lowerered my 03 explorer this week. The 1.6 drop doesn't sound like much but I'm happy with it. I have 22's and it sits nice. Will upload pics later today.

Ground force kit? How is the ride quality?

Rides awesome! I built the explorer for my girl and even she said it feels like it grabs the road better than before. It doesn't ride rough at all. I just took some pics. Give me a minute to upload them and I'll post before and afters. With the 22's the truck sat extremely high. And yes the blue ground force kit.

i ran the same kit for about 2 months and fell inlove with the ride. honestly i kinda wish i didn't lift my truck lol. i should kept it lowered. it felt like it got rid of that too soft ride and made it just right.

it always depends how you lower it. the springs give the ex a much better feel and better handling. with the groung force its only a 1.6 drop so its not too much different than stock just a little tighter ride, barely noticable though.

you guys replacing the shocks too? Springs straight off ebay?

 

[j_b_5_2]

I replaced the front ones because I had some new ones laying around. But they were just factory shocks from O'rielly
