ive done a search and cant find an answer

1 how much on average is the install including a c notch

2 ive seen kits that use control arms some use spindles and some coils or a mix of which are best

3 the kits ive seen in mags run 420ish is this about rite

i wont be on for a week or two so if imasked any questions they may notbe answerd for a while

 

if you want to run spindles you will ned to get an alignment for sure

you will also not be able to run any smaller than a 17" wheel anymore


i did the mc gaughys 4/6 with 2" spindle 2" coil and flip kit with notch dotesch tech shocks and belltech extenders

i installe dit myself saved the labor charges

 

I LOVE my DJM 4/6, Install it your self!!!!!
I installed the 4" LCA's in an hour and a half. SO DAMN EASY!!!
The flip kit is Extremely easy to install, The damn notches take the longest but there also easy.

DJM, it looks good and rides great!

 

I had my C-notch welded in so that cost around $350.

But I installed the Hotchkis lowering kit myself, it is a little time consuming but well worth not paying for the labor.

 

I am running a DJM kit which uses 4" control arms and of course the flip kit. It is a great kit and I would recommend it. When I was getting qoutes around 2yrs ago, I got anything from $650 to $850 just for the install. With that said, I did the research and knew exactly what I was getting myself into and decided to do it myself. Again, at the time, most places had the DJM kit for around $400, but I am sure that has increased a little.

As far as which is best, it depends on what you want. If you use spindles, odds are you will loose a little turning radius and you may only be able to use 17"+ wheels depending on the type of spindles you use. Also springs will make the ride a little rougher, but everyone's opinion on this varies as for the severity of roughness. With control arms, you will have a factory like ride, but it is said that you gain a little bumpsteer. Personally I haven't really noticed it, but each truck will be different. Also depending on the truck, you may need the upper control arms to go with it to get alignment in specs, with my truck I did not.

Regardless if you use spindles/springs or control arms, you will need an alignment.

 

the bumpsteer can be prevented with the tie rod flip kit which DJM makes!

 

Well there ya go. For my truck though, I don't really notice it.
