i already have 2-3" drop shackles in the rear.. (not sure which, but i really think they are more than 2")

right now the truck is not "even" the front gap is 4.5" and the rear gap is 5.5"

I would like to drop the front 1" and I think it would sit about where I want... but then the "uneveness" would be 2" off instead of just 1" like it is now... I want that "even" look.... so, how can I lower the back 2 more inches beyond the shackles I have?

i was thining of removing 1 leaf? or de-arching them.... any thoughts or ideas?

 

the guy who installed my shackles said they are chevy shackles because chevy shackles drop it a little more.... so i dont know if they are 2" or what.... fact is, there is 1" more gap inbetween the rear tire and the sidewall than there is up front. Id like to lower the front just a little more than stock, but i want the rear to be even with it

 

I dont know what brand shackles you used, but my Belltech's dropped the rear under 1/2" of being "even" with my stock front.

 

I have an '04, you know the 4x4 year Well, I used belltech 2" drop shackles and you can see the results below in my sig. I think it did the job (at least for me).

For 2 more inches you would want to take a leaf out or get some hangars (which are a b!tch to put in from what I hear).

I used lowering schackles in the back and also removed the second longest leaf from each side. this left me about 3" of travel between the axle and the frame. An 04 would be a little higher. In the frount I cut 1/2 a coil to lower that end to match rear.

 

does it squat more on launch?
