I am checking with you guys to see any thoughts on using 2" lowering blocks in the back as opposed to a level kit in the front. I am not wanting to slam the truck or any of that nonsense lol, just looking for a cheaper way to get a more leveled look. Keep in mind I know the level kits are not an arm and a leg but I have a little one to think about. Thanks for any input

 

if you have a 4x4 you could just remove the factory lift blocks... or buy larger shackles (since the shackles are mounted the opposite of the way older trucks are) since it's spring over axle, you can't buy blocks to lower it

 

How bad is it to install the shackles and i'm assuming I will need 4 total? It is a 2007 xl 2wd

 

You will need 2 shackles it doesn't appear to be hard their is a video on you tube that shows how to do this I will be doing this soon as well

 

i think changing the shackles is probably the easiest way to level...but I didn't like the lower truck look...so I took them off and bought a puck for the front. It's VERY easy and you can usually find them for around $40-$50 on eBay.

 

If i decide that i don't like the look of the lower back end that will be my next purchase for sure thanks.

 

You wouldn't happen to have the shackles still and be willing to sell them would you

 

I installed the shackles and it looks so much better now. I admit it does give it a lower look but, it still looks good and installation was pretty simple.

 

Private message me on my profile. I still have them and I have no intentions of using them again because I have the pucks up front and planning on an add a leaf.
