What happened with Belltech? Weren't they the choice for dropped spindles on '88-'98 GM's? I wonder why they dropped the ball for 99+...

I went with a 2/4 hotchkits on my 99 ex cab 2" drop spring in fornt 4" drop leaf springs in back. Had it on for about a 8 months and could not stand it. Too choppy and bottomed out alot. Handled awsome though. I then changed over to the DJM set up with the 2" lower control arms in front, and stock leaf springs in back with 4" drop shackels and hangers. The ride on the DJM was almost stock. I was really happy with the DJM.
