I know this kit is just out but does anyone have an opinion on it yet?

The other kit I'm considering is the Power Force 2/3 drop.

Do a forum search lots of info for 2 wd and 4wd lowering kits that cover this topic and brand! Search under lowered section.

I think the OP was asking because Belltech JUST released a full kit for 4x4's offering a 2/4 drop.

Never heard of dropping 4x4's til I joined this site. Anyway I have belltech 2/4 kit and looks sturdy. I cant seem to make time to install. I have everything though. We did just have a bad hurricane though. Still working on house.

I've got it on my truck. I did the spring only kit with stock shocks, had vibration above 50, added kyb monomax shocks, spohn adjustable panhard(I'd go with core 4x4 if I did it again), helped, but still wobble.I had to have the illicit no cut brackets installed to get rid of wobble. Brackets did the trick, but I started bottoming out more on the bumpstop cups. Trimmed the factory bumpstops and installed the airlift 1000 helper bags. Only time it bottoms out is on potholes. I need to trim the bumpstop cups, but I dont trust myself with a grinder.

There is a company that makes a 1 inch front lowering coil and a 3 inch rear lowering coil they sell separately, cost is similar to the belltech kit. I'm not sure if only dropping 1 in the front and 3 inches in the ass will still have any issues. But a 2 front 4 inches rear or more seems to be the magic number for get the checkbook out, you need more parts to get it done right.

Who makes the 1/3 kit? and is applicable to 4x4 trucks or just 2wd?

Crown suspension makes the springs. No clue on a 4wd, you can check their website.

Weird. I did a hybrid GF/Belltech 2/4 drop. I bottom out on HARD bumps, so I added airlift 1000s... Only issues I had.
