What year truck are you working on?
Stay away from AIM or ChassisTech.
Go with good products like Belltech, Western Chassis, or Early Classic Enterprises.

Re: good 4-6 or 5-7 lowering kits?

Based on your previous posts, I assume you are asking about a kit for a 78 C10.

lolife99 offers very good advice. To further that I would suggest looking at www.summitracing.com for a source. I have had excellent results with DJM, Western Chassis, and BellTech.

Don't be afraid of Summits white box "house brand" either. It is usually a well known brand in a plain white Summit box.

thanks for your advice, and yes it is a 78 c10. i already looked at summit, all i could find were drop spindles and drop springs for the front by djm. i could find any flip kits or c-notch kits.

Are you still going with ladder bars in the rear? Maybe that was for future reference.

I can tell you that Summit sells the DJM flip kit too.

i dont have the time or money to go through with the ladder bar or 4-link.

i talked to the guy at stylin' trucks and he got me a deal, 2 inch DJM drop spindles, DJM 2 1/2 inch drop springs, flip kit, c-notch kit from DJM and four ntro 2 shock or whatever there called from belltech.
