Ordered my Hotchkis 2/4 lowering springs the other day. No sway bars yet. The springs will be here on the 7th. Pictures soon!

 

awesome, man. Hotchkis stuff is on my list too. I've got the fronts, just haven't coughed up the $$ for the rears yet. Too many other good deals keep happening along.

Don't forget those pictures!

 

Stuff going on on Monday

 

Sweet, I've thought about getting the Hotchkis kit too for a long time. The only thing I'm worried about is how much towing and hauling capacity I'd lose. Post some pics when it's installed.

 

Just get helper bags if you are concerned about towing/hauling a bunch of stuff. The springs are a higher rate than the stock ones, but your travel distance is also reduced between the axle and frame, so I guess it kinda offsets each other. Helper bags are like $180 for the basic package, I think, and then another $120 for an onboard compressor so you don't have to manually adjust them all the time.

 

please take some measurements of the leafs for me....like eye-eye, width at the bolt, sleeve ID for the bolt etc. Im trying to see if these will fit my 2007 NNBS.

 

Ok, got it installed yesterday and lemme tell ya. If you're gonna get the Hotchkis make sure you get shocks as well. I don't have shocks yet and I hit the rear bump stops a lot. But, when off the bump stops it rides well and handles really well. I can't wait to get shocks and sway bars. I'll post pictures as soon as I debo the girlfriend's camera.

 

You did replace the OEM bumpstops with the Hotchkis ones, right? They appear to be a lot smaller so you won't smack them as much. What shocks you plan on going with?
