yeah we wont hack them up, we dont want them quiet as low as my photoshop pic, prob just a 2/4 drop, something like that

Trust me you can go with a 4.5/6" drop and not hack on a single piece. Outside of removing a few factory rivets for the shock relocators and the sway bar brackets, I can unbolt my entire drop and disc brake upgrade and be back to a stock truck within one day.

hmm........ really! about how much was it to do all that?

It will be best to contact ECE to see if prices have changed and for them to figure shipping, check in with Stan or Mark as they are great to work with.

According to their website:
4/6 kit = $759
Disc Brake upgrade = $899-999 but that includes a duplicated set of drop spindles that you won't need since they are included with the drop kit.

Give them a call and they will be able to give you a better ballpark figure w/ shipping. The entire kit included everything I needed except for grease and just a couple brake fittings that I needed, that most wouldn't.

PipsC10 · 04-24-2010, 08:40 PM

looks great the way it is, but would look even better lowered with torque thrusts. Like someone said earlier, do it so you can reverse it later. Love the trucks, you guys are lucky to have em!
