I'm going with hotchkis. I don't mind a little stiffer ride as long as it handles.

I have heard belltech is not a good kit for the NBS trucks. I dont know why but thats what i have always been told.

I hear Mcgaughys is the best but DJM is a good kit also.

LCA = Lower Control Arm
NBS = New Body Style

My brother has a 4/6 DJM on his OBS truck and it was a good setup.. On the NBS If you go spindles the only way to go is Mcgaughys..

Don't forget to get a mouth piece.

I have 2/4 DJM with LCA's and it rides like I never touched it, only thing i don't like is how it shows the "Chevy Lean" more.

I think it all depends on how bad it was before. Mine stayed the same before and after. It hardly has any. You would have to use a tap measure to see it.

I'm thinking of lowering my truck 4/6 but I'm worried about the ride when I have to tow the nova to the races. Anyone have any suggustions??

You will need a flip kit and a c-notch for the frame. I am not sure what that does to your rear spring capacity but if it is a problem you can get helper air bags for it. Check out Air Ride and Air Lift for applications.
