1981evildisco Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Read closer... Ships from manufacture... I called every company that still listed it for sale and had them check there inventory. No one had it in stock any where but said they would check with the manufacture. It's been discontinued since like 2010 or 2011. I have personally been to Hotchkis and spoke with them in person as well as had several phone conversations. They have no interest in bringing it back. Damn Let's get a list of dudes willing to get them. Put me on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FASTBRICK Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Damn Let's get a list of dudes willing to get them. Put me on it. You realize $615 X 25 units = $15,375??? Now, there was a small discount. I don't remember the exact cost but it has to be paid up front before they would even order material to build them. Then It would be at least 1- 2 months month out from when they actually start production... Some one would then have to pick up and store all 25 units until they sold. And lets not forget shipping isn't cheap these days either... If I had to guess I would say at least $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldofashow Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) Just get a sway bar from a suburban and fit it to your truck I did and it clears the t/A cover Edited October 13, 2016 by Aldofashow (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldofashow Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 https://www.ebay.com/itm/182237237365 Here's one get the pro comp shock mounts and an exhaust clamp and your in business it made a hugh difference and for the price of what they usually cost for a swaybar kit you really can't go wrong for the ending cost installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXGM Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Just get a sway bar from a suburban and fit it to your truck I did and it clears the t/A cover Has anyone done this mod that has a corsa or magnaflow exhaust. Based on the picture I wonder about exhaust clearance. I think that is why some on here want the hotchkiss as it mount in front of the axle vs behind.

Aldofashow Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 That's a good question as mine is exiting before the rear passenger tire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXGM Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 That's a good question as mine is exiting before the rear passenger tire Maybe sometime if you wouldn't mind measuring how far back the end links go from the axle so we can see if it will clear. I have a custom dual exhaust that the previous owner installed. I worry about clearence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's expensive for a budget mod... I have 3 of those. I would sell for less than what he wants if any on in the CA area wants one. Hell for his price I will throw in the clamps and new poly bushing kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldofashow Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 It was just the first one that popped up on the eBay search local salvage yards only charge like $40 if you remove it yourself it was snowing when I got mine and the hassle of playing in the snow to search for one and get it wasn't worth searching to me the extra money I payed on eBay was well worth it shipped to your door step I payed $110 for mine and I'd do it again without hesitation.

Distracted Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Whats the exhaust clamp for? Was wondering if I could use the hellwig rear swaybar for the tahoe and use the procomp shock mounts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldofashow Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 The exhaust clamp mounts the sway bar to the rearend if you zoom into the red energy suspension bushing in my picture you'll get the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distracted Posted December 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) Hellwig has a kit for the suburbans as well.... I know the kit for our trucks wouldn't work for my application.. but the hellwig kit for the surburbans should...no?
