Western Chassis or Belltech would be my first choice.
SportTruckDirect has Western products,... but I have heard mixed reviews on their customer service.

I've used Western's stuff on a few truck & have been very pleased.

I had good customer service from Sport Truck Direct.
I received on of the boxes of my lowering kit that looked like the UPS truck backed over it. The replaced some stuff for me quickly.

I too am using Western on my 89R30 CC dually. The trick with the spindles is to make sure they are in stock. I was told they have become a limited production run and heard more than one person say they had to wait several months for theirs. Sport Truck Direct took good care of me and did have a set sitting on the shelf waiting to go out. Ups dropped them on my steps 7 days after ordered.
I have posted a ton of pics in other topics and even a write up on installing the rear flip kit. Someday I'll post the one I'm working now detailing my home made bolt in front bags and rear link if I ever get it finished.

josh, just contacted sport truck direct, they have spindles in stock, but do not have springs and c-notch sections...maybe 2 plus weeks before they have a complete kit available for shipping. that's one wicked sub! interested in selling it?
