Alright guys,

This is a year off, but I'm really curious how I can do this. So as you know, I did a 2-2 drop. 2" setting on the Belltech struts and 2" GF shackle in rear. I want the truck level in the back with the front. How do I go about that? Would a 2-5 sit dead level or would a 2-4 get me there? I see that Roush makes the leaf springs that drop it 3" which I am assuming is on the stock shackle? And McGaughey's as well makes a 4" drop leaf. TheSuspensionSource.com has a set of non branded leafs for 349 for the pair (each Roush one costs that much!) I'm not sure on their quality tho. I think the GF shackles have a 1" setting as well which would get me either 4-5 total drop in rear.

Any thoughts?

I'd do the 4" drop leaf from mcgaughys, altho I have no clue on theyre build quality and price tag, and combine them with the stock shackle. Should net 4" drop right?? If not i'm sure the 2/5 will be dead level and then you can sneek in the drop shackle at the lower bolt i think for an additional 1" drop........Someone please quote that my thinking is right...

BUT---You could also do the 3" leafs from roush, and combine them with the drop shackle at 2" setting for 5" or 1" drop setting for 4" drop....Makes sense to me.....I'm un-sure though

That's what I not sure of guys... isn't 700 for leafs a lot of $$? I know I would need new shocks in the rear too since it's much lower than stock, right?
