Went to their web site and they show front coils and rear leafs available. The rears have an "overload leaf" for towing/hauling. No capacities are given. 1" front and 2" rear drop. The rest of their package is not available.

 

I saw a brief article in Trukin about their new L kit. Still no word from them on price or delivery.

------------------
2000 Silver Lightning 13.82 (stock)
PSP 4-way
PSP Filter Kit
PSP Lower Pulley
Level 10 Shift kit
Snug-Lid
In the works:
Level 10 converter
4-Link

 

The total price for the Hotchkis kit without shocks will be around $1000

 

The springs and leafs were $489.00 I'm assuming that they are available since the other pieces were listed but tagged "coming soon"

The comming soon are front and rear sway bars $535 in
about 60 days.

The real kicker is the lack of special Bilstein valved
shocks. They should be about $89 each and will
not be ready for at least 8 months.

Mark did say that a Lightning was tested with regular
stock shocks and handles really sweet, but the special
Bilsteins are better.

How much better?

Until the special Bilsteins come in I guess that we
could use the stock shock setup.

I wonder if this is the first real handling kit for
the Lightning. I have heard good things about the
Rousch(sp) kit but not great(from Rousch employees), I
wonder how the two would compare?

I wonder how they would compare also. I appreciate the delivery date info. I may just run my stock shocks for the interim. I've heard they will wear quicker on a lowered vehicle.

Now we just need someone to make some good bushings for this thing.

 

I would hope that the stock shocks on a 1/2 drop kit would wear less then the same shocks on a 3/4 drop.

Mark did mention pads and stops that came with the kit, and there's a post somewhere on this board about uraphane(sp <- that was sad) bushings from NY?????
