I was just looking on the hotchkis website this afternoon and noticed that they now have the skid pad and slalom numbers posted for the new suspension kit. Just wondering what you guys think about these numbers, do they seem like a good improvement to you?

**Note: Hotchkis also posts these same numbers on the regular F150 page( http://www.hotchkis.net/frames/catal.../97-00f150.htm ), has anyone seen the article to see if this was tested on a L or a standard F150?

It was tested on a F150 SuperCab on Falken 265/60R18 Ziex S/T 01 tires with stock shocks...

 

It's in the new Truckin or Sport Truck mag. They started to do the job right the went cheesey on the wheels and tires. I will be pissed if my numbers look that bad when mine is done.
