Default where's the cheapest place to get hotchkis lowering leaf springs?????

Well since I put my 20"s on my truck, its needs to be lowered quick, I want to use hotckis lowering springs because I don't think it will show the chevy lean as much as hngars and shackles, so where is the cheapest place to get the hotchkis 4" lowering leaf springs from??? And its for a 06 reg cab short bed, thanks

I think MotorSport Technologies in houston is a dealer. I'd try to get them local because shipping will prob be close to $100 due to the weight of the springs. To find other dealers you can go to Hotchkis

If I were you I would consider going with a McGaughy's kit instead. You could get spindles for the front and springs for the rear unlike Hotchkis which is springs all the way around. Just My Opinion.

I would check with Hotchkis directly. They sell off of thier website and maybe able to tell you at least when they expect them to be avilable. Actually I would guess that the 2005 models would work.
