how much was that drop kit?

My kit is a spring tech kit...not the quality of a belltech but still a good kit. I payed I think 400 something for it in 2005 but Im pretty sure belltech kits go for about 400ish nowadays and come with a camber kit which I had to buy separate.

heres my kit for about 400 shipped. All you would need is to get a camber kit from the dealer which is only about $50

Go with Mcgaughys...

My Mcgaughys 4/6:

Mcgaughys is a good company, I would put them with belltech. However, idk if its just that site but they only offer a 2/4 kit which doesnt come with shocks (which you'll need) but I dont think you need a camber kit for 2" only 3 or more..

 

[avs20 10+ year member]

Obviously you will need shocks. I would put Mcgaughys above Belltech. Belltech is overrated..

 

[snfsh79077 10+ year member]

A friend of mine will swear by belltech and hes a reliable source...many lowered truckers will say belltech is a great company. Its all opinionated though. I have a springtech kit which is lower than both companies and my kit has been put through a lot of abuse but still rides the same as the day I got it....

I would buy them from someone local, craigslist, or ebay.

alright cool. Do you have a size off the top of your head?

http://euromaxwheel.com/euromax_942.php if you like these I can get them chrome for 800shipped w/o tires and black with polished lip for 700shipped w/o tires...only in 20s though. I can see if he can still get the 22s if interested.

Wheel max isnt to bad, regardless what people say ebay is a good place to look as well. Are you looking for anything in particular?

22-24s

20's are too small.
