Want to drop the rear

Hello all, looking at the rear of my truck( i am assuming it is riding at stock height), how much do I need to drop it to level the whole thing out. I'll need a shackle kit yes? 1.5" or 2".





Thanks for any replies.

A 2 inch drop shackle would probably do it.

ground force and I know a guy that will sell you a set of them with the shim for $60 shipped fedex ground to the 48 states. I ran them for two years 30,000 miles with no issues.

harley might have a one or two inch block under the back of it, might be worth looking before you order anything, if you have a block you can remove it and get a drop that way too

My 4x4 had a 1 1/4 block between the axle and spring, this will drop the back bumper about 1 1/2 inch. Very close to level. I was able to use the same shackles.
