Drop Shackles
I've got a 2wd '04 supercab sitting at stock height with stock tires.
Say I wanted to lower the rear -just- enough to where it doesn't look raked out, how much do I lower the rear end?
Keep in mind that I don't want the thing looking like it's a** is dragging...even if the rear ended up sitting just a pinch higher than the front AFTER the install, I wouldn't mind. Would 2.5" be safe? Suggestions?
Thanks!!

If you aren't sure how much of a drop you want I would look for a set that have more than one set of holes for different heights. I know Beltech has 2 sets of holes and I'm sure there are other brands that do as well. I would suggest buying the pinion angle shims too. I have an 04 2wd scab like you and lowering shackles caused a vibration I couldn't get rid of even with shims, so I went back to stock. In most cases the shims work fine.
