which kit is has best bang for buck
 

looking to lower my 65 3/5 and looking at different kits and i found 2 but they both are different 1 has sway bars and no shock relocaters and the other has the relocaters but not the sway bars so which would be better bang for buck

I would not recommend the end link style anti-sway bar sold by CPP. Instead I would recommend the original style sold by ECE. Look under the category "suspension components" and you will see several kits. Here's a photo.

Shock relocators will help give a better ride but are totally optional.

what exactly would the disadvantage of the end link sway bars by chance

Re: which kit is has best bang for buck
 

The ECE bar is 1.25". The end link bar is 1.125". So the ECE bar is thicker. Some prefer the way the ECE bar mounts to the top of the lower control arm using the factory pre-drilled holes that are there. I think I saw a lot of GM trucks at the salvage yard, so it is a common way to hook up a sway bar. I think someone said once that with the end link style there might be tire interference in hard cornering (but I think it was only with drastically lowered trucks with certain tire/wheel combinations). Maybe someone else can back me up on that or set me straight if I'm wrong.

FYI - You can find your own ECE style bar at a salvage yard and just buy new bushings. Total cost would be under $60 plus your time.

i am only lowering mine 3/5 for now because i dont have the money for the drop spindles right now so i think i will be alright

Re: which kit is has best bang for buck
 

well update i went with the brothers 3/4 lowering kit because of the 15% sale i got the lowering kit which has the coils, shocks, and front and rear sway bars also ordered a defroster hose kit and figuered i might as well get a shirt too and ended up spending a total of $630.00 all together i thought that was a hell of a deal lol

Re: which kit is has best bang for buck
 

well as my luck goes i got a confermation for my parts last night for 630 shipped and everything now today i get an email from brothers saying half of the stuff is backordered and my total went up 130 dollars from the quoted price man that place is a joke so i canceled the order looks like some things are to good to be true

Re: which kit is has best bang for buck
 

Now no shirt? Just kidding.. thanks for posting your feedback - it helps others from making the same mistake. I've been saving the money in the couch cushions for some porterbuilt stuff - know what it's like to have the itch.
