Thoughts? Concerns? Pics? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Picking this up and wondering if it’s worth the hefty price tag when there’s so many other options for less. But I’ve read mixed results on basically everything but these. This is supposed to be THE kit. Any thoughts, concerns or pics? Anything better or as good for less? Getting 1.5” springs for a 4” front drop. Running 20” wheels.

Nothing wrong with that kit. Lots of people use it for a reason. I wouldn't say its expensive though, have a look at Wilwood if you're looking for expensive performance.

There is nothing in that kit that is particularly better than a stock replacement part. You may be able to piece together a similar kit yourself for cheaper but having everything you need and making sure it is all compatible without having to go through a bunch of frustration and/or research is worth a price to people.

I used that kit on my truck and am very happy with it. I wanted to know I had everything I needed and that it all fit together when I started assembly.

I went with that kit as well. Time is money and ECE was a complete kit that didn't have me scrambling to find extra parts.

I priced different options and by the time they were all spec'ed the same, the cost for ECE wasn't much more.
