JLP Shackles Installed: Pics


The install went just ok. Really need to get a better jack. Believe it or not my wife came to the rescue and made it go alot easier.

My before and after meseaurements dropped the rear almost 2.25". I haven't measured it after I drove it though. I really like the look and the ride does not seem to be affected at all.

I did not shave the bumpstops yet. I'll drive it for awhile and see how that goes. Thanks to all the people that answeared my stupid questions about the drop.

Drop looks GREAT! I like the nice level look to it now...

Those '03s REALLY DO have one heck of a rake with the added capacity.

It was the JLP 4" adjustables. I didn't expect anymore drop than I got. If you look at the geometry there really isn't any way to get more of a drop using shackles.
