I've been debating which suspension I want to go with, and would like some opinions.
I don't want to drop the truck a whole lot, just get it down a bit and get some good handling out of it.
My options are:
Full hotchkis kit w/ swaybars
or
Air ride tech cool ride w/ upper and lower control arms, and the Air bar 4 link kit out back.
The hotchkis is cheaper, but the air ride tech has it's coolness factors also, plus new upper and lower control arms, which I like.
Hotchkis is 2/4 air ride is 3/5 at ride height. I'm afraid 3/5 will be a little too low for my taste, not sure.
One thing I'm worried about is that the hotchkis coils won't lower the front a full 2" because of the lighter Ls1.
So, any opinions? Right now I'm leaning towards the hotchkis as I'd like a nice street truck that will handle well, but I like the air ride for other reasons.
Truck is a '91 1500 reg cab short box. Getting an Ls1 auto combo and escalade front conversion.
