im looking to get a 2/4, but im not sure which brand....i found this one on ebay >>> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-...93882373QQrdZ1

is this a good deal ?or is it cheap?? also it says for a 2001 gmc and i have a 99 chevysb will it fit? also what are some good shocks to get that are sporty? i have read on here that the Doetsch tech shocks are good.

 

my recommendation is A. Ground Force Leaf/ coil or hrotchkis if you have the money. From everything I have heard hangers are not a good Idea
But yes that kit would fit your truck

 

McGaughys
Ground Force
Hotchkis
Belltech - new spindles are pretty nice

Shackles/hangers are fine in the rear. As long as you dont tow fairly heavy loads. Spindles really are the best to go with up front. Im not sure about the quality of the coils in that auction.

 

well im not getting that one off ebay , not shure about the coils .... but wheres a good website to look at all the different kits with good prices? .. also should i get shackles and hangars in the back or new leafs? i dont tow at all...and in the front im going to get coils ...but i dont know which brand to get for the best value??

 

Do a search. You will find more info about what to use and which brands to use than you will want to read.

 

I think that McGaughys makes some very good product as mentioned above. Spindles preferred up front over shorter springs if you want a better ride.

Or Hotchkis if you want a stiffer more performance oriented kit.

is this true????>>>>>>>>>>You might think that when your coils arrive they will be two inches shorter than your stock ones... this is not true. The spring rate on a lowering coil is actually less than a stock coil thus... giving you the droop you need to obtain your 2 inches in the front. The difference is the nitrogen shocks that give you the sporty ride. If you had a high spring rate coil and stock shocks you would be fine. If you run the lowering coil, which by the way is the same size (height) as your stock coil you need the shocks to make it handle like a sports car.

i read that somewhere ... what do yall think?

 

BellTech spindles and a shackle and hanger kit are the correct way to lower your truck. PM or e-mail me and I will get some pricing together including shocks. If you use a coil spring to go 2" or more it is hard on ball joints. A spindle puts the geometry much closer to stock therefore providing a better riding and handling truck.
