Kore vs Carli vs Lorenz

I am looking at doing something along the lines of the Carli starter kit, the Kore HP kit or the Lorenz bilstein kit.

Why the differences in prices when the kits have what appears to be the same stuff in them?

What would you guys recommend?

I'm kinda leaning towards the Kore kit because it is quite a bit less than the others...

The Kore leveling or HP system is hard to beat for the price. I don't know what the s&h is though. I'm running the Lorenz 2.25 valved for my application. It works fine for me. Carli has excellent equipment with good customer service. I understand directions come laminated. Thuren too is another option.

I didn't see anything there about lifts or leveling.

I ordered the Kore HP kit, hard to beat the price for a bilstein 5100 kit with springs. I'm getting mine tomorrow.

Kore will probably have the stiffest coil spring/stiffest ride in the front...followed by Lorenz, Carli, Thuren.

Just don't know if I want to spend that much right now. My pickup is used for 80% highway. Looking for a nicer ride than stock without spending more than needed.

Has anyone had something like one of 5100 bilstein starter kits and also something with the better shocks?

How do they compare?

I am really thinking about getting the Kore HP and maybe those 2.25 SAWs in the classifieds????....What does everyone think of that?

He wants as much for the front coils as the whole Kore kit with springs, shocks and spacer blocks for the sway bar, that's a good deal¿
