Thumbs up New Beltech 673 drop kit!

Well today I just ordered my new beltech 673 drop kit for my crewcab silverado I also bought the dropped version of the edelbrock ias shocks. My truck handles so crappy from the factory so hopefully this makes a huge difference considering I have already put the Hotchkis sway bars on it, that were so expensive and didn't even touch the handling, but hey it does ride like a cadillac! I wonder if the factory suspension is worn out already?

What is the 673 kit? My hotchkis bars made a nice improvement. How much lower you going? You may need different size endlinks for your bars now.

The kit is a 2/4 to 3/5 drop but I all ready have 2" drop shackles that I will use so it will make it a 2/3 drop and I have already addressed the links on the rear due to the factory crew cab sets lower so I talked to Hotchkis and they sent me the shorter dogbones for the rear I am just wondering if I will need the beltech 5008 c-notch and bag kit, I'll just have wait and see!
