Don't know anything about the company, but 4.5 inches drop in the front and only 3 in the rear it will have a pretty good rake angle to it. If I remember correctly, the back sits about 2 inches higher then the front in the stock configuration. Also the 3 inch drop blocks will not give you a lot of clearance between the trailing arm and the ground (especially if you get a flat) if you are running 15 inch wheels. You can get a set of rear drop springs from 1 to 6 inches for about $100.00 from board vendors. You may also not need new front shocks if yours are still good. I think you can use up to a 2 inch spring drop and still use stock shocks. The drop spindles don't affect the shocks. Check the site vendors too, I bought my brake and drop kit from gmcpauls.com and got everything for under 1000.00.

I have used POL before. Straight from their website and from ebay, I like em' I would buy from them again. I think you could do better on the prices. you found so far. I also use CCP (Classis Performance Parts) Rockauto.com and Classic parts of America and usual advance, auto zone, Oreiliys, and of coarse ebay. between all of those you should be able to put together the parts you need cheaper than any of the so called Kits.

Re: 1969 gmc lowering kit/ disk brake update

Add wheels to your budget.The stock ones wont clear disc brakes.Also,you want to replace any worn or marginal parts in the front suspension while you're there.Ball joints,bushings and tie rod ends will cause premature tire wear.
