I didn't use Durango bags on mine I used a measurement method to order mine from the sized ones they got. And bags won't really lift the rear when aired up. They stiffen the ride for hauling. I run 5 lbs in mine at all times. If I run 10-15 without a load it's super harsh

Do you happen to have the model number, as we all seem to have the same kit?

If you actually use it as a 4X4 ,I wouldn't go much lower then 2" ,otherwise you'll be replacing CV's more often then you like.Plus if you drop much lower then 2" the CV's run in a constant bind situation and will cut into your gas milege.You can go to 4" with the Inez kit,or by using dropped spindles and a 2" drop strut,but I wouldn't do either if you want your CV's to last.My 4X4 is dropped 2" on the front using drop spindles,the 2X4 drop spindles will fit on a 4X4

I've got the GF kit. 2" drop springs upfront and a set of OEM 2wd spindles. So aprox 3" down in front. No binding on the CV's. Rides great with a set of bilstiens in there. No stock ride quality but good enough for me.

I've got about 20,000km on this setup now.

A local guy to me did 2" springs and 2" drop spindles and said the binding on CV's starts around 4" lower in the front. I wasn't getting into that mess so choose the OE 2wd spindles.

Anyone else have the belltech 965sp kit and want to show a pic or tell about your joys or sorrows?

I put the SRT replicas on a couple of weeks prior to the drop. I don't know if it is the setup or the wheels and tires but I have a flutter bounce feeling from 55mph - 70mph range. The wheels and tires have been balanced multiple times and I think its a bad set of Nittos. I have to go back to get them looked at one more time then filing a warranty claim with the vendor where I bought them from. From all the posts I've read about Belltech, it should not be doing this.

I also have somewhat of an install thread if you search for it. Its more of a post of all the problems I had during the install.

I didn’t mean you silly. I already know all about yours!

Did anyone use the spring insulators out of the 91213 groundforce kit or stick with the stock ones? Just curious

I think tht's the kit I used?
Is that the GF 2" rear drop kit with springs/shocks?? It looks familiar.
