    i was looking through some suspension kits and im pretty sure im gonna go with bell tech. but the actual belltech site only showed a 2 inch in front and 3 inch in back. im looking for a kit that has 2 in the front and 4 in the back like ross's. but i havent had any luck finding them. any help would work. thanks

    yeah they have it right their on the page you put. but it doesnt have a price or anything such as that. oh nevermind i guess you call and order it. its at the very top of the "drop kits" is that all i would need for my single cab truck? wouldnt i need a set of spindles too?

    They have numerous ways of achieving your desired level of drop. I'd sure call them and ask their opinion. Their drop spindles are second to none.
    I hear that other brands have problems with bump steer and McGaughy's doesn't.

    Spend a little extra and get the McGaughy spindle and keep the stock springs. You won't be sorry! DO NOT BUY BELL TECH SPINDLES!!!!! They are horrible. You will end up with twitchy steering and severe bump steer issues.

    If you can't afford the McGaughy spindle just put a 2" spring in the front. Just the springs aren't as good, but they aren't bad either.

    Good Luck!

    It will look really good with the drop kit on it.

    Hotchkis has an awsome 2-4 kit. You can get it with or with out sway bars. If you take it to a local shop and purchase there kit, beware some shops put on dearched stock spings.
