shackle drop?
im not really sure if i can do this. i want to drop the rear of my truck without spending alot of money. can i just get lowering shackles and bolt them on, or do i have to get alot of other things to make it work?

You can buy just shackles anywhere pretty much, and they are extremely easy to put on. There is a how-to article on this site that tells you how to do it.

Yes, mine was simple, but I have an 05. Yours should be easy if you have the ability and the tools. If not, have them done by a shop.
