As mentioned, Hotchkis stopped making the 2.1's. They were supposed to be developing a new shock, but that has not happened after several years.

I will make a suggestion. You could go to a Ridetech coil over up front. That would eliminate buying the shocks and the Hotchkis spring. Would perform even better and cut additional weight from the truck. The hardware to change your lowers over to coil overs is pretty minimal.

What hardware is needed to change to coil overs? I'm intrested in changing over.

@junioRace thanks again for the reply.

The springs that come in that coil over kit, who makes the springs? Is there a place to find the specs of each of these springs they offer. I know you mentioned I would want to go with the road race version of the coil over but which ones are those. When I am on the Stifflers website I do not see a drop down menu that offers road race. If I wanted to get different spring rate where do you get those from?

On the Stifflers website, they offer 4 version of springs. Which one, if any are close to the stock ones, just wondering. I would love spring rates of each if that is at all possible to get.

If I did not go with this set up and stayed with the Hotchkis springs, what would be a great shock to go with? I know Bilstein offers a stock style repalcement (B6 4600?) but I am guessing I would want someting a little better. I am not sure if Bilstein offers something better or if I could find something on the Fox website. It would really be awesome if I could find something with compression adjustments. I will go do some homework on this but maybe you have some experience on a good shock to tame down the Hotchkins front spring. If I remember correctly the Hotchkins front springs are like 800lbs.

Thanks for the help,

I believe they offer a performance driving option, which i assume would be for road course driving.
