Your right kaui56, the RT Durango is 4+4, and Hotchkis dosen't make a kit for it. They only make it for the 2 wheel drive.

Mine is GREAT, dropped it 2" in the front, and 3" in the back. Handles like a dream.

Well that blows that they do not make this for 4x4 Durango's. What are my other options to attain a more solid ride in my 4x4 Durango?

i wonder if the sway bars are the same...if they are then just use the sways...you'll get better cornering...as far as dropping it...crank them torsion bars down and swap the leafs.

 

[GOON'S D]

I was thinking of switching out the sways. Should I go with Hotchkis? Or some other brand? Is this a do-it-yourselfer or take it to a shop? I have limited repair skills.

 

[DirtyR/T]

I'd go with the Hotchkis sways. I don't think it should be too much trouble for you to do it yourself.

 

[GOON'S D]

Really? I have never done any kind of suspension work. I have a couple of friends that are pretty handy with a wrench though. My buddy Conor could not make it to my bachelor party last w/e. Maybe I will recruit his ass for missing it.

lol


Let me know if your gonna get the sways and I'll hook you up bud.

 

[GOON'S D]

What are we talking here for the sway bar? Is there some shocks that I should go with to get a more stable ride?

 

[kaui56]

nah...no need change the shocks unless you going drop em...just by changing the sways is going to make you corner better...might wanna change your tires too...the sway are really easy to change out...simple hand tools and grease. bolt off bolt on.

for the people with the bilsteins...how's the ride quality? compared to the stock feel i mean...

 

[DurangoDude]

Bilsteins

Can't compare the two. That's why the bilsteins are 85.00 and the stock are 20.00.
