LOL, sounds like it doesn't it?

That is the real downside to owning one of these trucks. NOTHING that goes on them is cheap (or even affordable for that matter). And Henessey is probably the most expensive vendor too.

You can get a great lowering kit for $650.

This is interesting guys... learnin' a lot about these beasts. So why so expensive... just no competition in the market for SRT10 drops??

BTW: Vipertruck... the stance in that picture is PERFECT Just the right amount of fender gap IMO for that size truck.

Yes, lack of vendors and for that matter lack of customers drives the prices up. Although the drop kit we are referring to (X-Metal) is first rate and worth every penny

Agree, the 1"x2" drop is perfect and improves handling without impacting ride quality.

Thanks!

Mmmmtorque hit it right on the head. Very narrow market for all parts.

X-Metal will even make you a deal for the Short Throw Shifter and the Lowering Kit together. Forum members only

I could see where you'd have that problem... theres just not enough of a market to justify the maufactures doing R&D, testing, etc. b/c chances are they'd only sell a limited number of them.

Well... you guys have some badass trucks... so congrats on that. Hopefully the aftermarket catches up with you guys eventually.
