Ride Tech

You will also get all the benefits of rack / pinion steering when going with the drop member.

Front ($2,798):

Rear ($2,050):

The front pricing is without rack / pinion, linkage, hose kit for the PS pump, drop spindles & sway bar. If you add that, it would be $1,164 more. The front systems are priced a la carte. The rear will be everything you need.

For a comparison, the PB front and rear complete would be $6,012 going with a trailing arm rear system. This is the closest comparison to the RideTech kit, but the PB does not have a rear sway, but a CPP can be added.

For the price comparison, and the advantages of the PB system, I would take a look at their kit. We are a dealer for them, so let me know if you do have questions. I would be more than happy to help you out.

I've been talking to another board member about the same set up he has, just from a different company, and he stated that switching from drums to disc narrows the track width by 3 inches.

How much does your set up narrow the front?
And if it does, is there a way to push the wheels further out towards the outside of the fender without using spacers?

That's what I've been told on another members thread. He just bought a coil over front set up from Scott's Hot Rods and mentioned the cross member as well. I may just have to research a few other companies that offer the cross member as well. I'd like my truck to pull the front tires off the ground quite a bit, so I'd defiantly need all the added clearance I can get up front.

Do you have any pics of the front and back of your truck with the conversion?
