I have the pro-comp kit and I like it a lot. Though I do wish now that I had sprung for the upgrade coilovers rather than the spacers. (at the time I wanted to keep the stock coilovers as I like the stock ride) All the parts were well made and went on with no more fuss than one would expect from such an operation.

In regard to mastacator's post; specifically the front differential and the way it's hung. Longitudinal stability comes from the front suspension, not the front axle. Regardless it is bolted directly to the rear crossmember into both the factory metal and the new piece (as can be seen here).

I see a lot of folks bash procomp on these forums, normally these are people that don't own procomp. I can tell you after having purchased and personally installed the kit that if I had to do it all over again, I'd buy procomp again.

Oh and btw, the procomp kit keeps the stock track width in the front. (yes, I measured it)

yes, nothing wrong with the pro-comp, when i was at only 6"s i pulled up next to my friend that had the 6" fabtech with the same wheel and tire setup and my truck sat higher than his fabtech.

Cuisi,

I wanted to send you a PM, but after I typed the message it said you can't receive them. Is there any other way I can contact you? Email?
