    I'm pretty sure they're just interested in selling entire kits to start with.
    That is, if they even get enough interest to move forward with it.

    Funny,when I was in Vegas for the Mopars at the strip,I was hounding them to do their kits again.I was talking with one of their engineers(can't remember names for shit)after blasting around in their Challenger,and was trying to convince him that there are a new round of owners as well as original owners that would love to have one for their trucks.
    Told him I would love one for my '96 as well!

    They have a page on Facebook, so I asked them about the Dakota kits and this is the result. So far a few people have responded, but we need more. We need to get right in their face with it, otherwise they won't make another run of TVS kits.

    I am looking at redoing my whole suspension this year, so this would be a very good thing if they could produce a few of these for people.

    Hotchkis leafs vs. Calvert mono leafs? whats better?

    I prefer the Hotchkis by far, even for drag racing. I have a set of mono leafs and I found that they hurt my 60'.

    Hum, thats interesting that they would say that. I would be worried about them braking if I hit a big pot hole or something when I was driving on the street because I am building a very street friendly truck but with lots of power

    That's what I run but to tell the truth, I got a 1.58 60' with just the Hotchkis springs before I ever put the Caltracs on.

    I know that about two years ago, I asked the company what it would take for them to remanufacture the kit again. I was told a bare minimum of 50 kits for them to even consider doing it.

    Maybe those numbers have changed now. Hopefully they have because that is a pretty rediculous number for a minimum order.

    TVS run would be great, It drops the height, what, 1-2 right? would love to get the TVS! just got mine, and it's all stock.. gotta redo all the bushings anyways, so it'd be easy just to do it all at once!

    It's supposed to be a 2/3 drop and if you look at a stock R/T vs a Hotchkis, you can really see a huge difference.

    i joined, looks like there was 83 others too. hopefully this will happen because i'd rather get the kit than piece a drop kit together since i planned on getting their sways either way.
