Will look into TCI Thanks

They sell the Heidts four link

Art Morrison pieces are about as good as it gets and they have several interesting options to scope out https://artmorrison.com/products/com.../rearsusp-kits
Well made, Need a kit built for 2nd series to speed to process.

[QUOTE=mr48chev;8992261]I'm just going to say use a kit designed for the truck rather than attempting to build you own from pieces unless you have someone who is seriously knowledgeable helping you with it.

Agreed. Truck is a fair weather driver, 2 to 3k miles per year. I installed the Flatout C4 front suspension last winter. Drove it 2k miles this year, just need to lower the rear 3 to 4" to get the stance I want.
Now has stock leaf springs 6" space frpm top of axel to bottom of frame . Will be changing the 10 bolt camaro rear for a 12 bolt. Considered going with lowering springs but between rebuilding the spring hangers and welding perches on the rear I'm thinking the four link install wouldn't be that much more work. Thanks everyone for your input/ advice .
