Downey LT kit

Who is running it? Cons? I already know the Pros. Just looking at it for an option to the TC Torsion bar kit.


Kthxbye.

My big issue with it is the custom CV axles that you can only get through Downey. Add the price of at least 2 spares to the price of the kit.

Since the TC uses T100 axles that are available through any parts store, spares are always available.

Exactly I just searched and realized that. I will be Going with the T1 kit From JD fab. Seems BEEFY and I can use my stock torsion bars till I find the right deal on some coilovers or aftermarket torsion bars.

I figure The jd fab kit can be bought. I already have the 33x10.5s, but I would also have to get the rearend up maybe with some chevy rear springs to get it level. Then work on upgrading the Idler arm, steering, engine cage, etc. But first I have to do my gears/duals.

Be sure to check racedezert and dezertrangers - I hear used kits are on there regularly for good prices
