but it is $170 and i dont need the notch and ****... Becuz im going to monster notch it.
Is there a kti without the notch that will save me a little cash?
And no, i dont want to buy it and then try and sell the notch.

With a 5-9 drop the front will be higher then the back so why would you want that look 2-4 4-6 5-7 or 6-8 are all level drops for an obs.

I personally like the look when the front is higher then the back, it gives it that bagged look, for us people who cannot afford bags.

For all who are interested. Summit seems to have the best pricing on drop coils and shocks. Belltech was the brand I am getting but should be the same for other brands. Keep in mind that you dont pay shipping only a handling charge of $8.95

Try calling aim industries if you get truckin they have tons of ad's in there. They should be able to sell you just what you need. Keep in mind i believe the u-bolts and plates are differnt for the flip. And for instructions you can prolly goto belltech or djms website and look it up.

....I hope you're kidding. You may not be aware of how bad AIM is from the lack of product quality, the lack of customer service, and on and on and on. If you want proof...do a search for AIM. They have an absolutely horid report with the BBB and huge lists of horror stories with their parts breaking, not fitting, on and on and on and on.

AIM = ripoff = the worst possible place to ever do business with.

I take from the avatar yours is a classic bodystle (73-87ish) and you dont have any problems with the bolt on c notch because with my 96 I had a flip kit and hangers (8" drop) and the frame was on the axle constantly

[tpichevy]

i have a std short bed 92, with a djm 2" spendle and 3" springs and i love it rides good to, but out back i have 6" flip and 2" shackles and its stuff as hell, thinkin about puttin the stock shackels back on to see if it makes it any better, or lift it to the 1" drop on schackle, also thinkin about hellwige rear sway bar anyone doen this, did it make a diff, worth the money, i want better handling, i dont want the back to lag in fast turns. i have a built tpi in the truck and i want the truck to handle the power better in the turns.

I would reccommend a stock one ton front sway bar and the hellwig in the back. Then upgrade all your bushings to PST for the motor mounts, swaybar end links, body mounts, etc.

[tpichevy]

will i have to make changes for the one tone sway bar or will it bolt right in? also where can i find the bushings? thanks for your help

[CKTA]

I'd get a matched set from Hellwig if that's what brnad you want.

For the bushings www.p-s-t.com

It can bolt in and can be found at a nearby junkyard, but if youre not feeling adventureous you can order the hellwig, that way you know its new and have tech support, etc.

[tpichevy]

is hellwig the best brand out there or is there better? also how much of a difference will it make, is it worth the money?

Apparently they make a good enough difference, and I am putting one from an escalade on mine just because i got it cheap. Belltech and another company makes them, check www.streetperformance.com for applications.

Hotchkis is also another brand you may want to look into.
