Have any pictures of your truck?

if you have a 2004 Heritage truck, yes it will be level

if you have a 2004 New body you will be close to level, but will need another inch to be perfectly level

There unfortunately isnt room to put a 3" drop shackle on your truck.

Eibach, and I think Ground Force sell a 3" drop leaf spring, but its a little more of an extensive install

And thanks for the thoughts about my silver truck. After finding it on ebay and craigslist, I found out it was for sale in S.A. by a guy that buys wrecked cars and trucks at auction and repairs them and flips them for a profit, but that was over two months ago.....

I have an 08 reg cab NBS with the Ground Force lowering shackles and mine is level. I think it will only be 1 inch higher in the back if its a 4WD but someone who knows for sure will chime in I'm sure.

I'm lowered with the 2/4 GF spring/leaf kit on 22s with 305/40 tires. Pat and I put the GF shackles in this morning to get everything level so I'm about 2/5 now and I still have plenty of clearance for the 22's.

where are the pics then???

to the op. the truck will still be about 3/4 to 1 inch high. that is what i have noticed so far with all that have dropped them. it is so trickey to guess though. so many things affect the outcome. type of drop, configuration of truck, fx2 with the block in teh back for more rake from the factory. i need 3/4 more drop to be level but my buddy with the same truck?maker of drop needs 1 inch.. it is just one of those things. your 22's will fit as long as teh tire isnt a crazy size. good luck

oh my drop details are in my sig

**Bluejay** · #14 08-24-2009, 12:47 AM

Here is a 2" shackle with 305/50/20s. Hard to tell from the pic, but the rear is still slightly higher than the front. But, I like it that way, myself.

Thanks for the compliments!
