Best 2/4 drop kit
I'm considering a 2/4 drop kit for my 2004 RCSB Silverado. I've heard some people like the Hotchkis TVS kit while others prefer the Mc Gaughys, DJM, etc. Which kit would you all recommend? Also, will a 2/4 kit reduce my truck's payload rating and tow rating? Even though I never plan on using my truck for heavy duty work, I don't want to lose alot of payload. Any info would be appreciated.

Hotchkis is good, and mcgaughys is good also. Hothkis will handle a little better, and you can use stock wheels with it. If you get spindles from mcgaughys then you will need 17s or bigger for them to work. Eithe way you go, you will be happy. As for payload, i dont think you will lose to much. You should be able to load the bed, or tow a light trailer no prob. You might have trouble hauling a boat or another car or something to that nature.

I'm happy with the hotchkis kit. i've put my 400ex in the back of the truck several times and have pulled some small trailers with no problems. the ride is stiff but not too rough
