I am lowering my 99 and have Western chassis lowering control arms and I want more in the rear than 2 inch shackles.
Is it best to go with JLP 4 inchers or go with the two inchers and a set of hangers.
Pros amd cons

Thanks

 

the 4" JLP shackles will only give you 3" of drop in the rear, so if you want any more than that, then you'll have to do shackles and hangers.

With my 1" front drop and JLP 4" rear shackles, my truck sits level

 

On my 02' L with Eibachs up front, and JLP 4" shackles out back the truck sits with a slight rake(oh; no hitch so that lets it sit a little higher) It is perfect

 

Are you guys finding that you need pinion shims with the 4 inch JLP's

Thanks

 

My HD has a one piece aluminum driveshaft like the L's, except a bit longer, and i have no vibrations at all. although i'd still like to add a 2* shim just to put it more back to stock so there is less wear on the stuff under there.

 

No problems with mine yet

 

I just bought the JLP 3" inch adjustable drop shackle for my '03 L. No changes to the front and it leveled perfectly, about 5" of clearance for both front and rear. I have yet to get some photos taken that are worth posting.
