Default drop shackle kits?

Will the drop shackle set from LMC work on a 4x4 truck. I want to lower the rear of the truck to have a flatter rake.

does anyone have pics of their truck with the drop shackles. Id like to see what they look like before I do it.

Is there anything diffrent between the rear shackle on a 2x4 and a 4x4? I called LMC and Eibach, they both said that they cant recomend using the part outside of its description. (Im sure their lawyer tells them to say that).

Are the spring widths diffrent between the 2x4 and 4x4 or something else that would not allow me to use the 2x4 drop shackle kit on a 4x4 truck?

seems to me it should be the same. maybe Im wrong though

I don't see why it wouldn't work, the leaf springs should be the same. I agree with using the universal AutoZone ones since they are only about $15 and you can have them in your hands right away.
