I have a Belltech 2/4 on my single cab. It came with it, so unfortunately I don't know what kit it is. I can say ride quality is good. Drive it daily at 80 and have gone as high as 100 and it is stable.

Only con for me is its not low enough, so will eventually switch to a 4/6, probably Inez.

I should have added I have the Hellwig sway bar and end links.

The Inez 4/6 is the best for sure and I really want to get it too!!! Price is the only reason I am going for the Bell Tech Kit !!!

When it comes to cost I figured out that it’s all about the same in the end. Now, this may be a controversial opinion and only comes from my experience, and learning from others mistakes here, but by the time you add all the items needed to drop it and not have any issues you end up spending well over $1k. Some will argue that this is not all needed but I wanted my truck to ride as close to stock as possible and it does now that I dropped it.

Man $1k is getting off cheap. You start having problems and start changing things out $$$. I replaced my entire suspension once, about done doing it again. Only front control arms left but they only have 40k miles. I got an 11 R/T and I push it hard, might be the cause some of the issues I'm having. Lol, I broke a spohn rear panhard bar. I wouldn't buy anything from Spohn, it's all junk.

I agree $1k is cheap. I’ve got around $2500 ******* in mine. I was just merely pointing out that the Inez kit is not that expensive in the long run. Now I feel that it still needs additional items to function properly but is a pretty decent start for the money and a 4/6 drop.

Also what we’re you doing when you broke the Spohn? Just curious as it’s what I have as it was a gift from Christmas so I went ahead and am running it but keeping an eye on it..

I drive it like I stole it. They said it was the only one to ever break. I never mailed it to them to get fixed, fk that. They should have mailed me a new one. Oh, it's no fun having your panhard bar break. Got a Moog on it now, new Core4x4 panhard should be in Wednesday.

I have a McGaughy's #44050 2-4 on a single cab. It's f spindles and r springs. Uses track bar relocator bracket and shock extn. brackets, so keep stock rear shocks, which he says are better than the (Belltech). My impression of ride is that it's same in front of course, and a little better in rear. Mainly got rid of little sideways wiggle in rear on a big bump (because track bar is straighter across so has less length change - doesn't jerk rearend sideways as much ).

BRBlack also broke a Spohn trackbar,and Kurtis /Charonblk broke one of their locating arms,so you're not the only one who's had issues with Spohn's stuff.They are the cheapest of suspension components,and you get what you pay for.

Are you going to get the Core 4x4 adjustable panhard bar? I heard its pretty good and much thicker than the Spohn, but a bit pricey
