Hey guys, I just ran across this thread...
I have a set of CalTracs that I bought over a year ago and haven't installed them yet.
I was specific in stating that I had Hotchkis TVS 2/4 kit when ordering, I called Hotchkis as well. Both knew of each other's products but still didn't give me a real confident feeling in knowing whether they would fit or not. Calvert Racing told me to check w/ Hotchkis and find out if the bushing was a different size than stock, Hotchkis said NO. So, Calvert Racing said that it would fit. I have an extended cab, like MarineBlue03GMC, so maybe the springs are different in that the bushings are not different size than stock.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
I was planning on having them installed very soon.

The bushings should work. Freeze the aluminum bushing from cal tracs and heat up the leaf springs before you put them in. It helps get the bushing started. I havr a 4/6 drop w/ cal tracs and had no problems. The bars should be the right length as long as you told calvert the drop when you ordered them. Hope that helps.
