Question Drop Shackles

Do the 2" Drop Shackles compromise TRACTION AT ALL???
Anybody have a pic of a stock looking "L" w/ 2" Shackles and no front lowering????

No noticeable effect, if anything its a bit better due to slightly lower center of gravity. I don't have my camera here at work, but the truck dropped 1-1/4" in the rear, and now sits level, front and rear (measuring from the hub to fender lip) are equal.

2" drop with Beltech shackles. Your sway bar end links will need to be shortened also since the rear suspension geometry changed.

Didn't notice any traction loss.
