Re: Drop Kits

Most everyone is gonna say ECE. Not the cheapest, but you don't have to worry about quality either.

Re: Drop Kits

I would suggest you look at not only price but shipping cost.The spindles and springs are pretty heavy and could cost a lot to ship.So a cheaper price may cost more with shipping.Just something to keep in mind when you shop.

Re: Drop Kits

No one else is even close. I've used ECE products since the early 90's on a bunch of different trucks. Never had a single complaint.

Re: Drop Kits

i got my 2" coils & my 5" coils from brothers trucks. don't have any complaints as of yet. my 2.5" spindles i got from mcgaughy's same from them. i also know that the above post are right as well. i just happen to catch brother's products on sale. the spindles i think are really good from mcgaughy's too.

Re: Drop Kits

I've got McGaughy's springs out back and am very happy with them. Have their stuff on my '03 and love it. Quality stuff.
