Just curious what people think is the best way to lower the back of the truck. Remove blocks which is easier or install lowering shackles.

I know you can do both but i just want to know either or options.

 

remove blocks first - free. add shackles if you want a touch more.

 

My opinion, it depends. Does one need difference/shorter U-bolts as well? Removing the blocks is arguably more invasive, so if you're spending money either way, the shackles are cheap enough and fairly easy to install. If its a matter of turning wrenches without spending money on u-bolts, I may opt to go the route of the above poster and go for block removal first, then shackles if desired.

 

I've done both, remove the blocks for me if I ever lowered my truck again. If you're a 4X2, you're pretty much stuck with shackles.
