I know this sounds like a pretty dumb question but i have an 01 big hit frame. What size fork goes in it. 1 1/8 right. Not a 1.5

If you have the money for a Super T, go for it. The valving and adjustability is far better than that of any Drop Off. I can't honestly think of a better DC fork for the money than a Super T, unless you find a RS Boxxer Team in good condition for a similar price (although I think you may have to Black Box it to make it a stellar fork). There's so much more than travel in forks, which is why on a budget I think I'd only consider these two.

That Kingpin looks like a cool fork, but apparently it isn't all that burly? I just read a review that said that the crown broke on it. It just came out! But that's just one review. It's very nicely priced at $500US on www.jensonusa.com. My only other reservation is that it doesn't have a full oil bath. After what my friends have experienced with the reliability of the new Sherman line from Manitou, I personally would stay away from it. But, TPC+ does rule. I still would go used Super T or Boxxer Team.
