Default 2/4 DT kit installed

I decided to try the Doetsch Tech kit (coils/shackles/hangers) that is for sale on ebay since it was $50 cheaper than the McG kit. I have only driven 30-35 miles on it but so far it rides pretty good. The springs ride suprisingly well.

Here's a few pics.

Looks good! From what people say about there shocks, I would expect it to be a quality kit.

Truck looks good man!

A friend of mine just replaced his front springs and rear hangers this weekend with the DT kit. I like the hangers because they seemed to be made better than the McG. The DT hangers were way thicker than the McG hangers and looked a lot stronger.

so far so good. RIde is a little more stiff than stock(which is good to me) but still comfortable. leochevy told me the DT kit looked to be a better quality than the McGaughy kit.

I think I have a slight vibration at 65 but it may have been the road. I guess I can get a carrier bearing kit anyway.
