I'd like to know why too. Demand less than expected? Or did they move on to the NNBS?

Any input from others?

To the OP, where did u find this info? Was it on the Hotchkis site?

I'll be callin on Mon. if I see nothin that satisfies in terms of why. Glad I have mine. Or am I?

I'm going to guess that there wasn't enough demand for their kit, especially with the other companies that offer spindles, shackles, etc. I'm assuming that the TVS kit is more expensive than spindles, shackles, hangers? FWIW, I like the TVS kit...tdrumm's truck has it and I think that the ride is pretty good. The stance is definitely awesome

FYI...I've emailed them twice as to why they were discontinuing the kits, but both times they did not answer the question. In their response to the second email (about two weeks ago) they said they had (5) kits left. Did not say if they were discounted or not, though.

I got the springs 2/4 drop from scoggin dickey a year ago but haven't installed em yet . I was tryin to see if they offered any kind of camber or alignment kit. Most say it doesn't need it but an alignment tech told me I would. If so I need a p/n. Any company besides JDM.

Mine definately needed an alignment and you should definately get one as a rule whenever you change ride height, but it doesn't require any addtional parts to get it back in specs.

Sorry I didn't clarify, alignment is definite, its the camber kit i was concerned about. I bought the DJM p/n sp86320 unfortunately, want to know if its even needed or maybe something better is available. I see some have 3" drops and don't even mention anything about needing a kit.
