Well I don't have any pics with the drop shackles on, need to get some though. Don't have a scanner either. Anyways the drop shackles leveled the truck out and it looks pretty good in my opinion. I didn't do anything to the front but the truck sits pretty low as it is! I like the look of the truck a lot more with the shackles on and also noticed a little bit of better response in the curves. I would suggest the shackles unless you're wanting the truck to sit really low.

Harleyboy: Where did you get the shackles and how much were they? Did you install it yourself? I've been adding little itty bitty mods here and there, and the shackles seem to fit the bill.

Cool

Same here! I've just been adding stuff little by little and it is beginning to build up. Anyways I got the shackles for my birthday from a friend and he bought them at O'Reilly's Auto Parts, they seemed fairly steep at $85, although they were the Belltech. We put the shackles on in about 45 minutes, you'll need a jack and some housedhold tools and it's pretty easy. I'm very happy with the slight drop in the back, it seems to level the truck out and also helps with handling in the curves. Go for it!
