the hotchkis total vehicle system (TVS) is about $1k

includes front drop coil springs, rear drop leaf springs, front and rear swaybars

i hear its a little rougher than stock but THE BEST HANDLING drop kit you can get

Hmm... I think i might get that kit for my truck. I have been dead set on a 4/6 or 4/7 kit but i think it would be more fun to have a truck that wont drag on speedbumps and that will also handle like a champ! Thanks for the info man. Im going to look into that kit.

Does this kit require new shocks?

Really? I didnt think a 2/4 needed to be notched. Well at least thats what ive been told. I was told that for anything over 4" in the rear, you would need a notch though.

And i figured drop shocks would be the best but i could probably run my factorys for a little while until i get the drop shocks.
