Try any of the vendors on the BB.They will have what you're looking for.You need to decide how complete of a kit you want or if you just want the basic parts and buy the other things(Ball joints,tie rod ends etc.) from the auto supply.

the classic performance parts grand slam kit is very complete. i will be putting one on a friends truck pretty soon. it arrived today and looks pretty nice. it is a ton of stuff! one thing to be careful of is the shipping. it was 175 for us.

Re: Best Place To Buy Suspension.Brakes?????

I think Tutt was referring to Early Classic Enterprise and that is where I bought my 2/4 drop which I was not happy with. Good parts but not enough drop. I totally agree with Tutt and think the grand slam 4/6 drop is the way to go. I am purchasing 6" drop springs for the back and adding 2.5" drop spindels in the front. If you get the kit everything is included. I am spending more money than if I would have purchased the 4/6 originally. Best drop kit for the money without resorting to bags. Hope this helps!

I got mine from GMC Pauls.

They have great customer service and I would highly recomend them.

Re: Best Place To Buy Suspension.Brakes?????

Many people on this board have had problems with CPP concerning crap customer service and backorder issues. I've personally dealt with Early Classic several times and can't say enough good things about them.
GMC Paul's is also a great organization with very friendly staff.
