Yeah...That's what I was going to tell you. The kits should be identical except for the end links. The 2WD kit will have shorter end links than the 4WD kit, hence the different part #'s. I don't remember how many different length end links they make though. I think I have the 2WD end links since my 4WD is lowered.

Just got off the phone with Mark at Hotchkis (great guy, awesome customer service!), and scored a smoking deal on a "blemished" 2231 kit...$420 shipped, straight from Hotchkis. I mentioned this site to him, and that I'm both a mod and a post/pic ***** lol, and that I plan to do an install thread, with pics, and my impressions on the bars Gave him my screen name, and he said that he'd more than likely join and lurk around a little bit, and would like to work some deals for some of our members if possible. I made him aware of our rules about non-sponsors, so if and when he does join up, keep your questions to him to pm's only please

A little off topic, but do any of these rears work on an NNBS with a flip kit? Trying to search but not much I can find.

Hes got some DJM bars for NNBS' with a flip kit, put one on mine and fits great, only slight hiccup is it needs longer bolts on the endlinks, but ive been running it for almost a month with no issues....
Only difference is shorter endlinks, but nice to just bolt it on without modifying anything....

I told you there customer service was the bomb. Their personnel were super to deal with!

Maybe I need to call about some parts. I would love to do the full swaybar kit. I would also like to talk to them about the old kit they used to make with the 4" drop leafs they used to make for our trucks.

Awesome! I'm running Hotchkis too and couldn't be more impressed with the handling and stability improvement. Great choice!

Yeah man, you were totally right Hotchkis was actually my first choice, years ago (I believe that I have them listed on my future mod list on my CarDomain site IIRC), but they are/were also among the priciest, so I figured that they were unobtainable any time soon. Lucky that I called when I did and fell into that deal If it weren't for the emissions laws, I'd almost move to Cali myself, seems that every time I call there (Richard at WCCH, Mark at Hotchkis), I end up BS-ing on the phone for an hour! Those west coast fellas like to talk as much as I do!

If you get Mark on the phone you won't be disappointed with the service that you receive at all, he took great care of me (wish that I could have gotten that good of service at the drive through at Burger King yesterday...I was treated so poorly that I actually asked for their corporate 1-800 number, which is something that I never do...and my daughter said "Daddy, I'm getting scared", by the tone in my voice when I was "debating" with the personnel there )

Thanks man, I can't wait to get these things and get em bolted on...my buddy Tom (tdrumm) had the TVS kit on his now sold 2wd rcsb, which I had the pleasure of driving many times...those kits came with sways correct? I don't remember, but I remember that his truck handled great (and it moved out pretty darn good too )
