Rear end lowering kit for 4x2

I just put 20's on my truck and think it would look alot better if the back end was lowered 1.5 - 2.5 inches. Does anyone know of a kit for just the rear and what effect that will have on the way it handles?

you can use the search feature on the site to get ALOT of information about this topic, but i'll give you the quick run down. there are a few manufacturers that make a drop shackle for the rear of our trucks. Ground force makes a kit, and so does DJM. The Ground force kit comes with shims and the DJMs do not. I have the DJMs, and have no vibrations or any change in driveability with them, plus i'm sitting on 20's w/ 285/50/20 rubber. it looks killer.

Dam, you be around the corner!


Show some pics of your killer 20s!!

Did you just do the rear 2 inches, or you dropped the front too?

Also, who did your work?

did you install the shackels yourself? Do you have any recent pics with the new rims and tires?

Shackles are fairly easy to install, you should be able to do it yourself in your driveway/garage.
