lowering shackles
I've been looking at doing this to mine. Got a question though. I had a set of the ground force shackles on a 02 dodge, and every couple of months I had to crawl under the truck and re-tighten the bolts (I had one one that the nut came completely off) even if I had thread locker on it. Have any of you had similar issues?

Just put the same kit on my truck.. I have noticed the left side of the truck is lower (1/2" or more) than the right side... All I can figure is that its the 26gal of gas sitting on the left side. How did yours turn out?

Looking at the tailgate view I would have to say mine looks perfectly level from left to right. If yours does too then I wouldn't worry.
You put those shims in???
Yeah I did.. Measuring from the top of the wheel well arc to the ground... LF and RF 36.25" LR 36.75" RR 37.25"... wish i could figure out whats up. That is with the stock FX 20" wheels

If this is a picture from the rear of the passenger side, then Belltech told me the wrong direction to put the pinion shims in. They told me that the thicker side goes toward the front of the truck, unless you put it in wrong? I did not install my shims yet, but have felt no vibration yet either.
