Hotchkis tvs , any regrets

Hey guys just starting my 71 c10 swb project , chassis and rear are already sand blasted and powder coated, now comes the fun part. Building it from ground up, thinking about using hotchkis tvs suspension, I'm alright with the 4-6 drop but does it really live up to its reviews? It is pricey so don't want to make any mistakes this early in the build. I will start posting pics soon

I don't have a Hotchkis suspension, but I would think the only regret would be the dry mouth from having a smile on your face all the time. They aren't cheap, but I'm sure there is a reason why!

The thing about the Hotchkiss is for a Street driven truck it is overkill and hard to justify the extra 3K... With that being said if you are going to also take it to the track and do some road racing or auto crossing then it is the only way to go...
