What suspension kit to buy?

Ok it’s time to order my suspension kit and I am not looking to go to low just give my 71 swb a nice stance and have a great ride. I am planning on running 18’s cause I still like the look of having some tire under the fenders not just wheels lol. But I have looked at the Brothers stage 3 kit shows to have a 3/4 drop sway bars front and rear and shocks. Looks like a nice kit and I am also looking at ECE’s 4/6 Drop Kit (2.5" Drop Spindles, 1.5" Drop Front Coil Springs, 6" Rear Drop Coil Springs, 4 KYB Shock Absorbers, Super Track Bar Kit, Shock Mount Relocator Kit). So my question is I like both kits but also want a sway bar front and rear and I really want a good ride cause my wife and I plan to drive this truck when it’s done not just let it sit around it’s not going to be a DD but will see some drive time. So what kit do yall recommend? Thanks for any help in advance.

-Chad

I like cpp and ece!!! Cpp's track bar is way nicer, you don't have to pull it apart to adjust it like ece's bar!! Thats just my .02 cents....

Re: What suspension kit to buy?

I just hung up the phone from Scott at Scottsrods to get my lowering kit, lowering springs front and rear, shocks front and rear, rear lowering blocks, and a panhard bar kit. This is a sponsor of this forum and a company where you can call and speak with the owner. So I would have to suggest them 2 you sir
