I got the full 2" front and 3"+ rear drop with this kit.
I ran this drop for a few months but the lowered life was not for me. As much as I loved the handling and "sport" feel I was not a huge fan of the look or feel (sitting low to the ground) of a lowered truck. I came from a PowerWagon and I really missed the "truck" feel of sitting up high so I went with a mild lift and better shocks than factory.
Here is the original F/S thread I bought them from Matt (Moes):
http://www.ramforum.com/f21/ground_force_2_3_lowering_kit_09-up_1500_4wd-97784/
I added (2) new GF rear shocks (for this kit, $150), spring wrap/anti squeak, and NIB air line kit ($20) for the helpers.
I only put 1,000 miles on the kit (I.E. rear shocks have 1K, the rest has 16K miles)
Looking for $600 local (12528), or $600 +shipping.
Hit me up with any questions.

Finally installed the GF 2/3 drop I bought off Matt from Moes months ago.
Key things about the install:
- Buy a stubby 13/16" for the rear upper shock bolts, I used this one and it was perfect https://www.amazon.com/Sunex-993026...8&qid=1498492940&sr=8-1&keywords=stubby+13/16
- you should also have a regular 13/16 wrench, short and deep 13/16" sockets.
- Take the front calipers off, I found it was easier to push the lower a-arm down to get the stuts out with out stressing the brake lines.
The ride, well, it is a bit firmer than I was hoping, its not harsh per-say, just tighter and you feel more. On some bumps it feels quite stiff, but the handling is drastically improved! Body roll is allot less and there is less side to side sway.

After pic, about 10 miles on it, not aligned yet:
Before -- 5,803 miles, 5/8 full fuel
DF = 36 3/4" ----- PF = 36 1/2"
DR = 38 1/4" ----- PR = 39 1/2"
After (not aligned yet) -- 5,830 miles, 5/8 full fuel
DF = 34 3/4" ----- PF = 34 1/2"
DR = 35 1/2" ----- PR = 35 1/2"
Based on this I got the full 2/3 drop (well 4" on the pass side rear lol).
