O'Rielly shackles

Put them on last weekend. They are the 3" belltech shackles that are sold for GM trucks($45). Had to get the factory axile shims taken out though to fix some vibrations from the pinon angle being off.

Here is a b4 pic

Wow! Definitely makes a huge difference. Did you do before and after measurements?

Darn. Im trying to figure out a great combo for the back to get a level stance. Right now I have Belltech 4804 Springs up front (3" supposedly), and DJM 2" Shackles out back. I plan on doing DJM control arms up front, and Roush Leaf's out back... but I think the back will still be high by about an inch. I guess the only way to find out is to go ahead and do it.

Mine is an 03 so yours should be 1" lower then mine in the back with the same drop.

Any idea how many inches of gap you have in the back, from the top of the tire to the fender?
