He has the DJM 2/4, coils in the front, and shackle and hanger bracket in the rear. I'm telling you though, the difference in handling must have 75% coming from the swaybar set. My friend has the stock front bar on his, and his is somewhat wallowy in the corners, but you can tell it handles better than stock. I recommended that he get the swaybars, but he only has money for strip bars!
I have ridden in another 2/4 Hotchkis drop in an Extended Cab Fleetside, and it rode tons better than mine, but it must be due to the weight!

Anyone that has the hotchkis leafs in the back? If you put loads in the back will it make the back end sag and does the load cap. go down. I later want to get a boat and dont want it to sag really bad. Thanks again

I just recently put 1000 lbs of speakers in the back of mine, and it didn't sag at all, it just made the truck look completely level. There was only about 1" between the rear axle and the bumpstop, but I drove 10 miles at 55mph, and It did not bottom once!

If your are interested I have a drop kit for your truck. Its made by Western Chassis, I have a 3-4 drop in mine and it rides just fine, I have the stock shocks and I swapped out my bumpstops. i'll include them in the kit if your interested.
