Front Suspension kit

anyone looking to update their 68-72 suspension could be interested in this eBay auction # 180065681329 from Dave's Hot Rod Shop. Just want to say this is not the hot rod shop that sold me the incorrect parts for my brakes.

Re: Front Suspension kit

That looks like a sweet package, but I'm not sure that it's the best price. I haven't priced it out, but it didn't strike me as beeing such a great deal at first look.

That's about what I was thinking. At least with Nathan's setup I KNOW it would fit and exactly how to do it too.

Re: Front Suspension kit

I just looked at that setup. There was a few things i noticed. It looked like a complete setup except for motor mounts. I didn't see any. Also what i noticed is that it only came with 11" rotors. I believe our trucks came with 12" rotors. Other than that it doesn't look bad. I like the look of Nathans dropmember better than that but you really don't see it after the motor is installed. For 2k isn't that bad of price either. For Nathans setup with strong arms (control arms) i think you might be more than that by a few hundred. Not 100% sure on that. I would check with him. But on the other hand if it is a few hundred extra you will get great customer service and a product that we all know will work perfect and it is a bolt in. The one on ebay looks like a weld in. Anyways good luck and just do you homework.
