EDIT: I found what I believe are the correct lowering kits. Does anyone know the difference between these?
Ground Force 9864
Ground Force 9983
Ground Force 9864
Ground Force 9983
Lowering my '16 1500 4x4 reg. cab?

Seems like it, I'm going to give them a call tomorrow. Tuesday I'm going to get a bedliner sprayed in so it'll be the same guy that does my installation of the kit. I'll have to ask him how much it runs to install the drop. Does anyone remember what they paid? Either way I will probably have an update by the end of the week if I can get the kit in this week.

Truck looks killer.
I might just lower the rear of my truck to get rid of the rake stance. Ground Force is the one to go with as the McGauphy's doesn't lower as much.
I think it might be the difference in truck years in the parts you posted above.

yeah call them directly because thats odd that they are the same seeing who the 2wd and 4wd have completely different suspension setups.

Ok guys, I got a response from Ground Force. They said 9983 is the kit for 4WD, and 9864 is for 2WD. So if I'm not blind their graph is messed up? I'm going to point this out to them. Very confusing, but if you're 4x4 like me get a 9983.
UPDATE: They updated their website based on my information. So, the website no longer reflects the inaccuracy and 9983 is confirmed to be the kit we need. Here are some links to make it easy:

Truck is getting lowered, currently in the shop. Should have it back by Friday. Next up, putting on some Hellcat reps with 305/40/22's and debadging.

Just picked it up this morning. This is what a 4x4 looks like on the 9983 GF kit fresh out of the garage. The springs should settle down some more in the coming weeks. It will also probably look better once I get the Hellcat reps on it.. can't wait.

Nice! Looks great!
Driving impressions? Stiff? Hit the bump stops?
Are you running a new panhard, upper/lower (rear) control arms?

Driving impressions are that it rides a little more sporty than stock. Turns are sharper and the ride is firmer. I do not have anything additional installed yet so I imagine it will ride even better when I do. I do aim to install the Spohn parts by the end of the year.
