Stereoland in Ventura, CA is where the install was done. It corners good,
but no where near what the Hotchkis setup did. There is a panhard bar in the
rear, no sway bar and up front we kept the Hotchkis sway bar.

Where did you get yours installed,,name,location
Does your truck still corner as well as it did.
I'm looking for something I can sit on the ground.., be able to haul a
trailer, and still carve it up on the road.

Airbag setups depend on how fast you want to go up and down. A complete
airbag setup should run you around $2500-3000 installed. A Fast bag setup
should be upward of $4000. The difference is like night and day. The fast
bag setup you will be able to instantly go up or down. Check out
www.smokindakota.com/movies/bag.mpg to see my rear fast bag setup in action.
I went with a ladder bar setup, but there are other ways of doing it such as
a 4 link or just building s bridge over the axle.
For a 2/3 drop you can get the Hotchkis kit if you want excellent cornering,
but if you want to save money go for Bell-tech or the Western Chassis kit.
Haven't used either except the Hotchkis, so I don't know which is better. If
you have your heart set on going real low, save up for the airbags. It will
save you money in the long run because the springs and other stuff you buy
with a regular lowering kit just gets tossed out when bags are installed.
