Considering the 2" shackles
I'm considering the 2" shackle kit for my '03 screw. Has anyone experienced any better handling? Maybe worse? What about the overall ride? What should someone expect as far as performance? Or lack there of.....
I installed 2" lowering shackles in the rear and didn't notice a change one way or the other...
I just installed 2" lowering springs in the front and noticed a big change...it rides a little rougher, but performs much better...the suspension is stiffer and the truck doesn't lean as much in curves...I can take them at much higher speeds now...also, the truck doesn't jump around like it use to when hitting a bump on the road...don't get me wrong, you FEEL bumps, but the truck seems more stable...

Well guys today was the day that i just couldnt pass up i was in the market for some wheels and low and behold i came home with 24's instead of 22's price was just right and couldnt say no...... not what i really wanted but for now they'll do
shackles you wont notice any ride difference, or much. The first time you drive it around while its still settling out it might feel weird, but nothing weird on the second drive. Depending on how you install them you can get around 1.5" drop to a 2" drop. If you are 4x4 just remove the rear blocks, and get 2wd ubolts
Thanks guys for the kind words and believe it or not it drives just like stock with just a tad more bounce or jolt with the little tires
patman, i have eibach 2/2 but i want to go lower in the rear but dont know in that pic you can see my camper that i tow so now with 24's it might rub the tires when hooked up
