which lowering kit to buy

[philv]

ok I've had my truck lifted for 2 years now and I realize I'm more of a hot rodder than an offroader.lol so I want to do a 4-6 drop and I looked at djm, but I've heard some bad things about their control arms and stuff. so out of all the brands out there, which is the best for a complete kit? I'm also going to put rear helper bags on it too.

I went all belltech, in all honesty, the rear drop axle over leaf, the brackets spun right around on me...

You must be registered for see images attach

So the axle was yoke was pointing to the sky! So im not sure if theirs a better design out there but the Belltech one sucked! So i had to weld them in. Same with their spindles, i find they stick the wheels out to far... so you could have clearance issues with your tire/fender area.

The bell tech shocks, i have to say those seem pretty good, im happy with them.

I want to know now! ahahah

Oh and on the otherhand, if you have some skills at welding, ive been calculating my 4 link rear suspension, and it seems like a really reasonable price. If i would have knew the price difference, i woud have spent the few hundre more and build that instead.

Traded the truck for a 97 civic, got screwed bad on that deal, got tired of finding more things wrong with it everytime i fixed something, found out that the "valve tick" was a collapsed lifter, sold civic for 1700, bought 95 yukon for 1500
