did not know that. Thanks. That is a crappy way to do business. Ive never personally used DJM because of all the horror stories over their Ford products.

It just takes a call to verify they aren't substituting. They may not be for the squarebody suspension. In January, they were for the OBS/88-00 C20/30 spindles as the foundry where they get them was having issues & ceased production (their explanation).

The best spindle/spring ratio is subjective to each individual need. Using the combo of the two is usually the best approach. The deciding factors would be amount of drop & wheel choice (diameter, back-spacing/offset).

For a 4/6 on your described truck, I'd opt for a 2-2.5" spindle + trimming 1-coil from the factory springs if the truck rides decent @ the current height. Then, some combination to achieve the 6" drop on the rear. I usually opt for flip kits on C10's because IMO they're easier to install. Since flip kits on 3/4 or 1-ton trucks yield more than 6" of drop, you have to factor in what it will take to achieve/adjust to get the amount you want. Compare that to the alternatives (shackle/hanger; removing leafs; etc).

If they are substituting, it's not the end of the world either provided you're told. I would verify who the actual manufacturer is.

If it's Chassis Tech, research their pricing elsewhere (and their customer reviews). I canceled my order because I could get the Chassis Tech product elsewhere for cheaper yet POL (Western Chassis' daddy) maintained the same pricing as their WC brand.

Seemed to me like a 'Bait & Switch' tactic that I didn't care for so it cost them that sale (& possibly my business in the future).

AirBagIt.com= name change from the original AIM & yet another change (Chassis Tech). Google them all to make an informed decision.
