Without a doubt! And I might also add that the OTTPerformance "Hardcore" rear sway bar is the best rear bar. "Moon"

What didn't you like about the Gold Lines?

< Ground Force >

I too installed the Ground Force leveling springs. Perfect fit & still going strong! Got the Progress tech sway bar too! All working great with zero issues!

This is great info, but now my question is, if I get lowering springs, will I have to change the struts?

If you level it, meaning just swap rear springs, easy deal.. 1/2 hour.


If you do all 4, you would need to pay someone to do the labor, & could re-use the stock struts, (Struts are in front) if they are not leaking..+ needed front end alignment costs.

For me & where I live, I leveled mine, & love it.. I've had enough of really Lowered rides, that I made so low you had to watch out for even a speed bump cause it could scrape..

So if I just get the rear lowering springs I don't have to do anything else? Awesome.

Only other thing, would be probably minor headlight re-adjustment.. Depending how low you go in the rear. But that's easy as eating donuts..

I think you could do the rear springs yourself & save a few beans too.. Very simple..
