western chassis kit

[85 lowrider]

Has anyone used the Western Chassis 5-7 kit? The price is cheap at around $500. Just wanted to know if anyone used it and what they thought about it. I will be putting it in a 85 lwb that is bone stock. Want to keep the original look with a slammed stance. Thanx

Don't know anything about the Westeren Chassis kit. I used the DJM kit on my stepside and I like it, didnt have any problems with it. In the past I have used Bell Tech and I couldnt tell any difference with the bell tech and djm. So the western chassis kit proably will not be any different from the rest. Hope this helps some.

I have a set that isn't installed.  They are a quality company.

Thanks for the help guys. Is there anything I should look out for with a drop this low? I will be using the stock 15" steel wheels, not sure how wide they are. Will there be clearance issue's with the a-arms or the fenders? What about drive line angle? I already have a vibration in the drive line that I was told was just the tranny and they all do that. I don't want to blow the thing up. I would appreciate any other suggestions that you guys have. Thanks again.

I'm no pro with these trucks, but the tranny should not cause a vibration.  Unless the torque converter is going or the fly wheel is bent or loose.  More likely drive angle or u-joint or spiders in the rear diff?
