GSI DROP FRONT and REAR kit.

[Vandals909]

Anybody have experience with this kit?

Seems like everything is included. What mods need to be done to your cab to run it? High hump?

No notch of the frame for the tie rod on the rack?

The $300 appears to be worth it for the tubular A-arms.

Looking for opinions?

Would like to see more pictures of it installed.

Wondering about the steering shaft attachment to the rack.

I have heard of them but never seen their stuff installed outside their site.

Another one is choppin block https://www.azproperformance.com/home.php carries their stuff.

the choppin' block stuff is really gaining some traction and grabbing some attention. looks like well-made stuff.

I don't like the mounting of the upper control arm. You cant really adjust anything other than camber with the design. The shock mounting also looks like an after thought to me.

I would go with Porterbuilt or No Limit personally. If you have more fab skills you can go with Thorbro's and save a few bucks.

Was looking for info on what needs to be modified on the truck to use the kit? For example high hump trans tunnel for my 4l80e? Hood hinges? Can you run stock inner fender wells, how high does the bed have to be raised? Doesn't look like you have to notch the frame for the rack? One piece driveshaft or is a two piece peace required?

Do you guys recommend a front and rear sway bar? I still want it to handle well



Google does not have these answers ��

I'm sure it's just like any other kit as far as the modifications go. A high hump will be minimum if you're planning to run a 4L80. Probably looking at a full trans tunnel. From looking at picture on GSI's site, you dont have to notch the frame for the rack and pinion. I highly doubt you'll be able to run stock inner fenders. Just like any bagged truck, you will have to run slosh tubz or hills inner fenders. The bed floor will have to be raised more than likely around 10-11 inches. Whenever you bag a truck you can pretty much throw out the idea of a 1 piece drive shaft. The geometry is off so a two piece is required. Just from looking at their web page, it doesn't look like they offer a front or a rear sway bar. Also, doesn't look like the lower control arms have provisions for mounting a sway bar. Your best bet is to call and talk to them. That way you can hear it straight from the horse's mouth. There's just too few of these kits out there right now to answer most of this and be accurate.

Only hood hinges that work with a bagged truck your age is porterbuilts witch they even used on their builds.They do offer some nice parts like all the billet door handles and the weld in ac control plate.But like shores said talk to them they will know better then any of us.
