For the past few weeks Ive been debating on what to get for my truck next... I happen to a have a few hundred bucks laying around that I am waiting to spend on my truck (its a disease!)..

Its a regular cab, 2wd.. So I have been flip flopping around the idea of lowering it... but I dont know whether to just do 2" in the back, or the whole 3/5"... McGaughy make a kit for my the regular cab that RETAINS stock leaf springs utilizing flip kit and drop shackles for rear, new springs up front.. its cheap too.. $390 plus shippin...

I finally decided to just drop the rear first and then if I want lower, then I can buy the flip kit and springs later...

Who makes the cheapest drop shackle kit? From all the info I have gathered on this site.. I dont think the regular cabs need shims to keep from vibrating..

All the big guys make the shackles... (BellTech, Eibach, DJM, Ground Force)
Are there any websites that have absolute lowest prices...

Ive been saving for 4.30 gears, but I cant find ANYONE in my region to install them... besides maybe my ford dealer ($$OUCH$$)

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

I bought my DJMs from Stylinconcepts.com for about $70, shipped. I think the Bell Tech shackles might be a little cheaper. The Ground Force shackles are the most expensive from what I've seen, but they include pinion shims which you may or may not need.

 

I figured if I really needed pinion shims, I could get em at AutoZone or Advanced Auto parts.

Alright, thanks man

 

good luck finding shims there, our trucks have 2 centering pins. dont cheap out, if youre gonna do it just go for the groudforce, save the box, and when you go with a full kit sell the shackles on here or ebay

 

DJM's no shims needed
