Hello everyone.

I recently installed new Bilstein struts on my Fabtech lift, but accidentally used 2wd coil perch so it is actually sitting about 4.5" lift in front. This has the rear sitting about 1.5" higher, giving it some rake. Problem is I really like the look of the front a bit lower than 6" of lift, I feel the 34.5" tires look great at this height (sits like a 4" rancho now). I need to level it though by dropping the rear.

Question is, will there be any issue with putting 1.5" drop shackles in the rear? Will this affect payload at all? (I use this truck to haul heavy stuff & tow occasionally).

 

I'd say you should be fine running the drop shackles. Maybe look into a 4" block as another option too. What do your CV and control arm angles look like?

 

CV angles are stock flat, it rides great. only issue is the tires rub when I hit bumps while turning, usually only happens offroad.
