I like the DSE package as well but seems like you can't beat the Speedtech on price for the same quality. A similar style package from DSE costs about 1k more I'm finding.
I've been reading a lot about matching your front and rear suspension as far as brand goes for the best quality and it doesn't look like speed tech makes what I'm looking for in the rear "a leaf system". Do you think the Hotchkis 1.5" drop sport leafs would do the job and is there a good shock I should add to that? I may run it lower but 3" might be too much and it looks like you can settle in the middle somewhere with the help of blocks.
I'm wanting to opt out of the mini tub for ease of installation purposes but want to run the Forgeline GA3 wheels 18x8 front and 18x10 rear. It looks like they'll fit.
Still checking out the brakes but the Baers look nice and parts availability is a big plus.
Any word on a quick ratio steering box? I've heard good things but there's a lot out there to choose from.
Thanks guys, really appreciate the help. I'll be sure to post pictures when the project begins, hopefully next week!

The RA kit base kit uses QA1 which I have never liked ridewise or durability (always leaking). The upgrade shocks from Ridetech are alot better. DSE uses a different upper mount which requires modification to the sub which is where alot of the extra expense is at. Speedtech also has the sub mod available in their Chicane kit. Price becomes closer between the two products. Either is a good choice.
steering box go with either DSE or Lee. Both are the main ones everybody chooses
