Suspension Comparison

I have the belltech kit on my truck now with edelbrock shocks and im not at all impressed with the ride anymore, I have had it on for about 2 years now and its starting to bug me.

I was looking to put on the roush setup but I do like the stance of my truck, will the roush setup change that, I have seen some trucks with the roush on but how does the drop compare to the belltech, I have seen some posts where the belltech shackle was used in the back so that’s an option.

Would you say a panhard bar would be a good item it put on with the rest of the roush system.

can I get factory hangers from a dealer, mine went with all the other stock suspension and I need some back to go to a roush setup.

and where is a good place to get the roush setup..


Tks
Jim

Roush has stopped production on the 97-03 (04 L) kits.

Dunno if Chikenears has them in stock but if you an score one, hop on it!

The Hotchkis TVS system is another option. Coils, leafs, sway bars, and shocks.

Adding a panhard bar is a must-do mod. Stan is the man.

You might look at the bumpstops, sway bar end links, and the shocks to cover all the gotchas.

Thanks,

I already have the end links and bumpstops from the belltech and was looking for a kit to get the handling back in the truck, i love the stance and look but the belltech is not a handling kit..

Would the roush be as low front and rear as the belltech or not as much, and since you brought up the hotchkis how would the stance compare on that one..
