For those considering a 2" rear drop, here are the Belltech shackles before/after -

How long/hard was it to install?

Looks nice BTW

I think it looks alot better and it might even handle better (not so much body roll ?)
Worthwhile mod for $50

GO out and thrash on it some and give us Stock rear ended Silver 2000 owners the info we need .....

Does the handling or ride change ? Better or worse ?

Thanks in advance

Doug

 

Looks great JBL

Thanks for the pics, my Bell Tech shackles should be here on monday.

 

322: I had a local susp. shop put them in (took them about 10 minutes)
even though its only 2", its seems alot lower when you stand next to the rear now....its about a half inch higher than the front, which is exactly what I wanted.

incase anyone wants to know : the part # is 6400

Thanks for the compliments!

 

JBL,

Wait a friggin second... what are your doing with my new truck in Texas?

Pulled out my box of 're-mods' this morning and shackles are next on the list (AIM's).

Install takes about 35 minutes however I think Baby Jake has a record on this...or something.

Doug,

The rear doesn't seem as jumpy on the highway when lowered and it squats much better at the track (when drag racing you goof).

It will be interesting to see how they work in conjunction with one of Ruslow's panhard bars.
