Default Bell tech rear springs

Is there a reason nobody talks about these? Are the hotchkis that much better. Bells are a little cheaper.Talk to me!

Well man, I've been looking around and heard no bad things about Belltech drop leaf springs. Hotchkis are a lot more no idea why? But I think they are in the same boat. On the other hand western chassis also has a pair and I think they are good to. I' m going with a 4/5 drop on my ride. 3in leafs and 2 in shackles for the rear dont know what brand yet.Maybe 4in DJM LCA On the front.

Western Chassis= $219.00 a pair 3in leaf drop
Hotchkis= $346.95 4in leaf drop only
Belltech= $244.99 3in leaf drop

I just put a 3/5 drop on my girls red RCSB 4.8. We used 3-5 inch adjustable belltech drop leafs in the rear and western chasis 3" drop coils in the front with belltech nitro drop shocks. Rides good and seems to be good stuff. Im about to put a DJM 4/6 drop on mine using the 4" lower control arms and a flip kit. I want to get a 1" drop shackle to make it a 4/7 to level it out completely.

I would go with the 3-5 adjustable belltech drop leafs. They are good parts IMO!
