how low do you think you want to take it?

Sounds like you might just want to do a 2" shackle to level it out.

you'll be fine until you can get the wheels you want, the shackles are 4 bolts total


I put my stock 17"s back on when I want to mess with people





here's what it looks like on the 20"s
