Lowering Kits

I just installed the full Hotchkis kit on my truck lowering springs and sway bars and the truck rides well and handles awesome you got to try it. If you want to see the truck go to the second of 2nd generation lightnings and go to the thread called pics of my 02 TruBlue Lightning.

Hotchkis says to keep the stock Bilsteins on the truck even after lowering it and my truck rides real smooth with that setup

What is included in the kit and was the install easy? I have never seen any articles or install excerpts in any mags on the FRPP kit.
Thanks, J-mart:dw:

The Hotchkis setup comes with everything you do have to use some of the stock pieces some bolts but the sway bars came with new bushings and all the pieces that you need to finish the job. It took me about 6 hrs to finish just because I wanted to do the job right also I had a lift but the job went pretty smoothly none the less.
