NathanJax helps out another wayward member <-- Not a negative

Whats a wayward member if u don't mind me asking?

heres one kit
http://www.tbssowners.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=86


kit is adjutable in rear and comes with the shock extenders which are needed and autoride shocks.

now if you wanted to do front keys and the rear kit woudl be 350 shipped but 2 inch drop out of keys would not be as good ride as 2 inch with spnildes. Just a heads up.

I was looking at the McGaughys kit, is there a difference between belltech and that one? Just wondering.. Thanks for the heads up..

I was just blabbing, don't mind me. On a more serious note, the difference between the belltech and mcgaughy's kits are the spindles and the rear springs. The belltech spindles take away less of your turning radius and the rear springs ride better than the mcgaughy's springs. The ride of the springs is subjective but most guys around here will tell you they believe the belltechs ride better. I've run both springs and like the belltechs better. I currently have mcgaughy's spindles and I did lose a bit of my turning radius.

I lost a little bit of turning with my McGaughys on my 04 Esky as well. on my 07 I have belltechs and it's like stock.

I would go with Belltech

The belltech does sound better then. Ima save up for a couple weeks and order it.. 525 is not so bad shipped. Did u guys install these kits yourselves? If u did was it a pain in the ass?

very easy to install if you have basic tools and handy. Especially since you have the time for it. I am on the 2/4 kit tony mentioned and love it!

Sounds good, alotta positive feedback on this kit, that's what I'm aiming for.. Did u have to do alignment on your truck after installing the kit?

Like mentioned earlier, I did mine in my garage with a basic set of hand tools. I got my truck aligned afterwards because I went from a 2/3 to a 5/5.5 and I had camber bushings installed. Other than that it was a snap.

yes always align after lowering especailly with spindles.
