I installed Hotchkis 2/4 kit on my 04 gmc rcsb it hooks and handles great but the ride is harsh! I've had the kit on about 6 months and I about ready to go back to stock leaf springs with drop shackles. I had this on my 96 and it rode good!

I know what you mean. Mine has become know as "the brick" around here. Just rides like total ***, and the toxic shocks don't help things very much either. I would never go this route with a truck again.

I should have told you a 4" drop is very uncomfortable in the rear when you hit bumps. I busted a brake line once driving around in my brick.

I think you're right on the money. I wish these things would just blow out.
