JLP shackles

Hey all I just got my JLP shackles today and was wondering what drop I would receive from each hole (there are 3 holes)...also I ordered 3 inch drop shackles so I'm guessing its the top hole? thanks

I believe that the first hole (shortest) is 2", second is 3 ", and the 3rd is 4". I don't think different shackles were made? You might want to call JLP and ask to be sure.

Top hole = 3" (well, maybe 2" and some change)

I ordered JLP 4" drop and mine had 3 holes in them too. I compared the 2" eibach shackle(that I removed from my truck) to the JLP 4" shackle and the first hole was awful close to the eibach 2" drop. The 03's have an extra leaf and the drop isn't as significant as with earlier models. I plan on removing one of the leafs this winter. I assume the 04 is the same.
Sincerely,
Bryan

After hearing the JLP 3" was really close in size to other 2" shackles I went with Belltech 2" shackles. I'm satisfied

My cousin has some DJM 2" shackles and I'm going to compare those to my Belltech's this weekend (just out of curiousity).
