Coilovers?

Does anyone make a coilover kit for the front of our trucks? Are they worth it? They look slick.

I have found 3 places

Bill Turner Enterprises about 2500 spindle to spindle
Jim Meyer racing 3000 spindle to spindle
and Fatman Fab. I don't know how much it is. They all bolt in. I considerd these but couldn't justify the cost.
Last option is to buy a pair of coilovers and fab the mounts.
The problem with that is finding a coil with the proper rates to fit the stock geometry.

JEGS

Check the Jegs catalog/website. HAL (QA1) makes a coilover kit for GM front ends. Since GM uses very similar measurements on most of he front ends, I would think that this conversion would work for a truck small block application.






Oh, here's the actual URL
