I may be interested depending on price and if they are available with hardware for lowered applications. I have had a Hotchkis rear bar with a stock front bar for nearly the life of the truck. The rear bar fit ok with a 4" drop but now with a flip kit it is no where near level (needs shorter dog bones). The Hotchkis bar is starting to show it's age (~14 years) too as most of the coating is flaking off and getting rusty. Reading Steve-O's experience with mismatched bars, I would like to put a matched set on the truck.

It's something I can ask about. If you can weld or have a fab shop near by, you can probally get them shortened fairly easy.

Hoping to have a Physical Qoute By the end of the week.

6-8 week leed time from the actual go day to get Parts.

Hotchkiss doesn't want anything to do with it as far as stocking them or financing, So I will have to raise all the capital and store all the units myself.

They also would not split production so I would have to order 25 of each kit.

The 4x4 TAHOE would have the same front but a different rear bar.

I do however, have a used rear bar from a Tahoe that I picked up.

I re-opened the pole while I am waiting for pricing.

I hope this will be a viable option for myself as well as others Depending on the quote I receive.
