Peter -- I was wondering, when you guys lowered your trucks did they come out still a little racked or level. I ordered my shackles and was concerned if you had a little tongue weight or a small load in the back, the truck might me low in the rear. Don

Don,
I removed the hitch, and installed the bedrug and a snuglid and used the 2" drop hole on the AIM shackles and it appears that the rear still sits alittle higher than the front, it is very close to sitting level though. With the hitch in place it only lowers the truck 1/16", Yoda measured that.

It depends how much weight you plan to haul in the back whether it would sag down that much. I weigh 190, I just went and stood on the drivers side on the back bumper, and it moves down 1 1/8". Hope this helps.

I know this isn't the greatest pic to answer your question, but maybe you can see enough.
