The question is: does the hotckis stuff alos make possible to lower the front suspension to match the rear suspension drop by just loosening the torsion bar or will it mess up the suspensions geometry?

Do you have to buy a 1" drop spindle elsewhere??? or is it no needed??




Yes, their system allows you to lower the front end via turning down the t-bars without creating a mess with the geometry. While droing the nose down this way will alter the geometry some, it will not "mess it up" so to speak, any worse than it was to begin with.

The biggest benefit to the Hotchkis layout is that it reduces dynamic caster changes during suspension cycling. THis creates a more linear change during bump which helps reduce some of the impact of bumpsteer that is inherent with the mopar design.

If they provide you the spacers to correct bumpsteer, definetly use them. You may not totally eliminate it with their kit, but it will help.

BTW, no one makes a 1" drop spindle that is widely available from retail vendors. I have seen 1" drops made from standard spindles and the 2" cast steel units that are sold through several reatilers, but that's it.
