Anybody have before/after 2" rear drop?

I am looking at the Belltech 2" rear shackle drop on my Regular Cab. Has anybody else done this?

If so, can you post pics please? I a not going to lower the front at all. Just leveling the rear with the front.

Just throw about 500lbs of bricks in the bed to drop the ***-end 4". Then you will see what it is like. My 2" shackles raised the axle 2", but it actually lowered the rear bumper 4". It is as even and level as it should have come from the factory.

Sorry, I just don't have any after pics, yet.

I took measurements and the 2" drop doesnt seem sufficient. My front measures (at the center of the wheel well) 34 1/4 inches from the ground. The rear measures 38 1/4 inches from the ground. So, the rear will still be 2" higher than the front. Atleast that is what I gather.

Does the 2" drop actually lower it more than 2"?

I have the ground force lowering shackles. There is a 2 and 3 inch lowering option. I used the 2 inch.

Looks good. You runnin' 20's on there. Nice. I wanted to, but I am keeping the 17's on there for power. My truck is headed for the track. Look at my set-up and you'll understand why. Same set-up as you but Reg Cab Short BEd and 3.73LS. But, I have to lower the rear man, it looks like I have donuts on there.

Actually, those are 22s with a 305/45/22. Our trucks swallow rims and tires

Where did you find the ground force lowering shackles? If you have the actual part number as well that would be great. Went to ground force's web site and their app chart does not list any 2-3 in drops...just 2in.
