Looking to lower the rear end a bit on my 03..... would the 2 or 3 inch shakle be the best????

thanks Doug

 

Depends on how much rake you want, if you want your truck to look level go with the 3 inch, if you want a small amount of rake go with the 2 inch, i have installed the 2 inch on my truck looks good. hope this helps

 

Are you guaranteed to get a 3 inch drop with a 3 inch shackle??

 

depends what year L you have

 

A 3" shackle will not get you a 3" drop. On my 03 the 3" shackle gave me exactly 2".

I would go with the 3 incher to assure the 2 inch drop. On my 02 I got 2 inch belltech shackles and it dropped it to just above level, but there is a definite difference especially when you stand right up to the back of the truck!

 

Thanks for the feedback.... where is the best place to get the 3in shackles from.???

Hey we installed JLP's shackles today. I'll post pics tomorrow. Looks much better. Can't tell any diff in ride.

 

Are you saying you didn't get a level drop from side to side or didn't get the 2 full inches? I just got my DJM 2" shackles in but I need more time for things to settle...

 

I am lookin to do a 2" drop on my truck. How hard is the install adn can you do it with simple hand tools or is it more complex. Will a 2"drop hurt the stock shocks.
Thanks

1 3/8" left center of wheelwell on my 03 fwiw.
