shes now dropped with skirts :)

what a difference. didn't think a hotchkis 1-3 inch drop would make such a difference. and the ride with the bilsteins is awesome.:rockwoot:

Hotchkis + Bilsteins is a nice ride! A lot better than i thought after putting a Belltech/DJM kit on my last truck. The Bilsteins make the difference though.

Just don't do what i did and add caltracs...great grip, but my back pays for it :jester: Not really bad, just bouncy as heck.

Looks great, I still need to get me some skirts from Todd.

looks good! I like the stripe also...
I'm also looking to get those side skirts...

I now have the TVS on but with stock shocks.... will the bilstein make a huge improvement?

i think any shocks would have been better then what i had. they were the originals from 98' :rolleyes: . but i had bilsteins on my 4x4 and now on my r/t and they make a big difference. ive read that make a huge difference with the tvs.good luck trying to get them because ive been waiting since last july for the rears. got used ones on till my new ones come in. when ever that happens.

NIGHT AND DAY! I just did the TVS by itself and it wasn't as smooth as stock. Added the Bilstein's and it was as nice of a ride as stock, if not better.
Only had TVS + shocks on for a couple weeks and caltracs went on.

I'm ready to get my skirts and hotchkis on. I got my kit in yesterday and got some low mile used shocks. Now all I have to do is get to tearing it down and painting the load of stuff I have.

Are you driving with them "loaded"? If so, unload those suckers before you bend something. They're only supposed to be loaded for racing.

I just set them up when i first installed them. Never thought of loading/ unlaoding them for street/strip.
Thanks :biggthumpup:, I would have sold these before figuring out that easy solution :jester:

Can anybody tell me the part numbers (front & rear) for the bilstein shocks that work with lowered trucks?

Good question, also if any of our 'vendors' have them. And anybody interested in a group buy?

[gt77ice]

I would be interested in a group buy, not sure about how to go about setting one up or what vendors to contact.

[Tropicalboy]

id be in to it as well!!!

[Rigeldust]

Don't do this to me
I don't have any money.:bs:

[99BobbyRT]

do you have the link for the skirts? i tried searching for these exact ones but can't find them. what did they run you? i love this look because it hides the pinch welds, but it's not over the top. please let me know as soon as you can.

For the bilstein shocks, check out stylintrucks.com. they have a lot of parts, and i know that they dont make them anymore but does anyone know where to get hotchkis suspension parts?
