uhh yeah i got it direct from ROUSH i'm still not sure how...it was like $900...i like the idea of de-arched leafs better than hackin' parts off the truck...hangers /c notch..but thats just me..i also wanted something that was engineered as a whole kit for handling and not just looks..although i do like seeing a truck that can't fit a business card under it ... like capt-1's

I would go with a 4/6 but I don't want to c-notch the frame (and void my waranty) I'm thinking of going 3/5 or 4/5

ROUSHFAN-1, I love the sway bar! it really helps in the performance of the truck, mainly the cornering and high speed driving(100 MPH+)

99flareside, My belltech suspension cost me a total of $607(ordered from summit racing online). That is for the full 3/4 drop, all four shocks, and rear swaybar. You will probably want to add a little more on though for the front end alignment after the drop.
