Cheapest place to get lowering parts?

Where are you guys finding the best prices on lowering parts? I'm looking to order my parts soon. I will be getting springs, spindles, flip kit, and shock extenders.

The cheapest I've found so far is summitracing.com, because total shipping is $11.95. Everything I need from summit comes to $584.

Some of the other sites are cheaper, but then they charge nearly $100 shipping.

Re: Cheapest place to get lowering parts?

That is pretty cheap. Just be careful because you may get what you may for if you know what I mean. I priced the same stuff through Western Chassis and it was almost $1200 before tax and shipping. I think ECE makes kits for these trucks and also McGaughy's do as well. There may be another one or two companies that produce good components too. I know that is not what you were after, just putting it out there.

Yeah, $584 is Western Chassis components, so It should be good quality.

summit sell springs at whatever length and stiffness you need. I think QA1 is one of the brands and a couple other.

Re: Cheapest place to get lowering parts?

Stylin Trucks has a lot of good stuff...and they're always advertising some kinda sale. 10-20% off. Small stuff like that helps out with the shipping...

It wasn't meant as a dig at you. This board has few rules, but one of them that is strongly enforced 100 percent of the time is that a person cannot sell or ask someone to sell something without being a premium member.

Simply stated, the original poster was discussing where he was going to buy his stuff from and you poked in with a want to buy post. It wasn't appropriate for the situation.

Re: Cheapest place to get lowering parts?

Not only that, it is a hi-jack of the original thread,which is also against the rules.

As a new member you agreed to the rules when you signed up, maybe a review is in order?
