Re: Hotchkis

They did for years. I guess the sales didn't warrant them continuing to do so. Back in the early 90s, it was all the rage to run their stuff.

Re: Hotchkis

Yeah, I'd love to have a set of their 4 inch drop leafs but they dont do them any more. I think I'm gonna go with Western Chassis.

Re: Hotchkis

Yep. Hotchkis has no love for the GMT-400 anymore. They used to have 2" drop coils and 4" drop leafs for the trucks along with some nice swaybars and other stuff. Now...nothing. They had a blowout a while back to unload their old inventory and were selling the coils and leafs for 50% off, so I picked up a set of the coils and have them on my Suburban.

For getting some drop as well as some good suspension performance, Hotchkis was #1 in my book followed closely by Eibach. I've had 2 trucks I dropped with Eibach, but I don't think they have any love for these trucks anymore either besides drop shackles. All the other companies are just drop companies.
