Looks slick, bigger difference than I would've thought. Did you install shims? I was just looking at the Ground Force 2" shackle kit and it comes with shims. Wondering why shims would not be necessary with any amount of drop?

thanks man. nope no shims at all. it probably just comes with it "just in case" that way you dont need to order another part if you have vibrations, which is nice.

I have the GF shackles and didn't install the shims. Now it's the next thing on my "to do" list. I have a vibration at low rpm's at stop lights. Very nice truck btw!

Big improvement - taking that cowboy rake out really helps - looks good.
