Default Drop shackles
Was looking at ebay and saw 2-3 inch drop shackles? Anybody have these? Will it really give you 2-3 inches of drop or is it all BS?

Default drop shackles
Right now from the center of my rim to the highest part of my fenders on the front I'm at 20 1/2" and 21 1/2" in the back, I want to say before the drop shackle I was at 23 1/2".
