2" drop shackles
Just installed some 2" drop shackles on the rear and was wondering, will the stock shocks be ok or will I have to go shorter? Tried the search but couldn't get any hits.
Edit: Searched again and found some info. The concensus seems to be that the stock shocks are fine with the 2" shackles.
Is it necessary to do anything with the sway bar after doing this? Thanks for the help.

If its not too late you may want to change to 3 inch shackles. Two inch shackles will only drop the rear a little over an inch. I put 3 inch shackles on my 2003 and it came out pretty level. The only other thing I had to do was flip the shim between the spring and axle to get a good U-joint angle back.

I put 2 in Belltechs on my 03 Sonic Blue bout a month or so ago. We measured the gap after a couple trips down the road ( also added 4x4 pan, line valve mod,and xcal the same day) and ended up within bout a 1/16 in of being level. Close enough for me as its hard to tell just by eye.
