    I believed the sold for 1200 or so when they first came out if i remember right? They said they would include shocks with these so MY guess around be 1500-1600.

    sent a few emails to them, so far it's looking good, from what I was told, they are working on how many they will make, and how much it will sell for, but yes, it sounds like it will hit production soon, and once they make up their minds to start this up, they will be taking preorders... so start up your savings accounts boys, it may be at any time they annouce the start of production... I'm gonna start saving up on this weeks paycheck!

    News from Hotchkis.....
    " We have decided against bringing the Dakota kit back to market at this time. If you would like to enhance the handling of your truck we still offer the sway bar system. The sway bars were the major component of the handling upgrade. "

    directly from an email recieved today.

    maybe bell tech, they offer springs and sways, not in a kit, but that makes it easier to buy in steps, intsead of dropping 1500 at once... like the TVS
