**N2TRUX** · 05-03-2011, 09:22 PM

You want to be more specific. Exactly what "kb setup" and what year truck?

bnb0221 · 05-03-2011, 09:37 PM

im so sorry i hit a b instead of a p, the kp cantilever set up, im thinking about going on and doing air ride, i dont really have to b slamed on the ground, im going to run 20" on it i have a 80 c10 swb

I'm not a big KP fan, but thats just me. They have a nice product, but I don't care for his cantilever or Watts link system. I feel it's cool if you want a "showy" system, but I am more in to simplicity.

There are several brands out there that I would choose over the KP system. My suggestion is to look closely at what our Forum Vendors offer and see what fits your needs best. I am rather biased since I have a full Ride Tech system on my 77, but I know it's not the one for everyone.

I have a KPsetup for my truck (currently installing). I've never driven on it, but I would say if you don't need to 'b slammed on the ground' RideTech is probably more your choice. I bought my KP kit because I wanted to slam my burb to the frame, but have enough travel to get off the ground and drive it without pointing to the sky. 12" of travel on the KP kit should be plenty....

If you want air ride for handling and a mean lowered stance I think ride tech would fit better...N2Trux would be an expert on them.

I wanted ride tech, but 7k I don't really want to spend that much unless they have something cheaper

7g is for the all inclusive Level-3 system which includes front & rear kits plus air mgt. The simple, bolt-on rear 4-bar kit is $1800.

Ridetech makes an excellent product. You would not be disasppointed if you decided to use their rear kit. N2TRUX has their rear kit on his square and is extremely happy with it. Do a little more reaearch on all the options, then pick the one that you feel is best for your needs/budget.

I'd rather have this rear 4-link from Porterbuilt.
