Re: Ground Control Weight Jacks
Buy weight jacks & it won't cost you anything but time to go higher or lower. Depending on how low you want to go, you'll just hafta decide on a spring rate. Or to go to a different rate later it is only $50 for new springs. Compare that to the cost of spacers.
I'll never go back to a static lowering job again. I'd go air bags if I could afford them.

Re: Ground Control Weight Jacks
This is with 850lb front and 175lb rear springs.
If I had to do it again, I would get 9" front and rear springs to get me closer to the center of adjustment range.
Also, keep in mine the 24" front bump stop height is with Ground Control soft strut shaft mounted bump stops. I have no idea what the ride height would be on the OEM bump stops.
