Stinker lowering kit opinions

[spdrcrj]

Installed Stinker's RC lowering kit yesterday and have been driving around on it for two days. Here are my observations/opinions.

1. Love the new stance. Truck should have come this way from the factory. For some reason, my truck is a 1/4" higher on the passenger side front and rear than the drivers side. It's not the kit, I know that since it's symetrical front and rear. Not sure why it's like that.
2. Stink hit the spring firmness on the head with his +15%. Not harsh at all and BARELY any difference from stock.
3. Performance is right on. SOTP difference in the lessened body roll. Haven't even got it aligned yet but can tell corner carving will be fun.
4. Price....you got to be kidding me. Saved $250 over competetors kits and that's with the springs and blocks powdercoated.
5. With the stock buckets on top, elected to use Stinker's spring pad on the bottom. I did have to cut a bit of the rubber off the pad to get it to lay flat on the lower a-arm but that extra 1/4" was just perfect.
6. Customer service....A1 from Tony as always. No surprise here. Gave Tony a call when I had an issue and he was on it immediately. I had the missing parts in my hands in 3 days.

Overall impression?!?!?! If ANYONE is contemplating a lowering kit for their RC (don't have a QC so can't speak to that end) give Stinker's kit SERIOUS consideration. I've found no flaws whatsoever in any aspect of my transaction, installation, or performance of his kit. One extreamly pleased customer here. Thanks Tony.

Now....so I don't get one of those "this thread is worthless without pics" gif's. LOL

What was the price for the KIT? I am looking seriously for a outstanding lowering kit. I sent Stinker a message however he has not got back with me.
Was there any difficulty when installing the kit? Let me know any info you have oh and your truck is even sweeter now.

$472 shipped with powdercoated springs and lowering blocks. Install was easy. Tony put instructions in the DIY section that are easy to follow with pictures. Took me 3 hours to do the front springs but I was taking my time, talking to people, etc. It should take you about 3 hours to do the whole kit, depending on your beer intake.

 

[Big Worm]

I appreciate it, yea beer intake is a requirement in the shop.

 

[JTS VENOM PERFORMANCE]

Thanks bo , really glad ya liked it, will PM ya tommorrow Worm

my fanny has indentations from the ride home

 

[Big Worm]

Sure thing brother, yea they tend to hurt after a trip

I rode in Tony's truck this weekend in Panama, and his new springs work perfect.

Truck is firm but not harsh and the stance is killer.
