I can now get Roush suspension for those who want it. Their package comes with front and rear springs and revalved Bilstein shocks. It lowers the truck about as much as I prefer for daily driving with nice comfort. I believe the kit retails for $880 bucks. Most dealers dropped Roush due to shipping delays etc.. We'll see how this goes with the first few kits. They tell me 10 days delivery...

Hey Terry I want to get the brake and caliper set up in my L, but know that I see u will be selling/installing the Roush suspension I want that too. The only problem is that I only have cash for 1 right now so I am going to make a choice and get back to you on that. :d

I think the two of us that have the Roush paid about 3x that amount, but that was 4 years ago. Buy this at this price.:tu:

Buy this at this price.:tu:Thanks Mark, I forgot but you are right it use to be almost 1500 bucks until Jack realized he wasn't selling any. He has since dropped it to compete with Hotchkis. The problem with Hotchkis is the rear leafs and availability. Hotchkis only makes a certain number of parts then sells them. Like now they are out and will not build more until next year:hammer: . The Roush rides nice and is as low as you can reliably ride. The Hotchkis sway bars are the icing on the cake:tu: . With that setup you have a pretty neutral ride that you can over drive if you don't respect it.

Terry you still have one of these kits in? How long does it take to install it? Can you do it on a Sat? Is it adjustable? How would it be for drag racing? Would it hurt the perfomance there?

Terry, I dont know if it my shcoks or the leaf springs, but when I hit a bump, or any irrigularity in the road my rear suspension squecks?

I haven't received any kits yet. Not sure where the squeak is, maybe a bushing somewhere. Time for a louder exhaust system.

The Roush kits came today I have two available. They are $880 and freight was $40 a piece which is a deal for a bunch of steel springs and shocks. Install is $180 including the cam bolts. If you want a laser alignment (recommended) we use the local Goodyear and it runs $75 bucks their price. I am open to suggestions on where to get them aligned. I am not exactly thrilled about any of the local shops. As soon as these first two kits move I will keep one in stock:tu: . I can schedule installs next week after L Fest.

It is your leaf springs. I have this suspension also. I went through this too. The rubber at the end of each leaf extends all the way out to the spacer so the rubber rubs on the mount. If you remove about 1/8" on each side of the rubber, so the spacer is wider than the rubber - all is quiet.

I'll do it for $1100 NO TAX on cash which equals a free alignment:tu: .
