I'm looking for a way to lower my rear end another 1" or so. I already have 2" shackles. Just leaking to lower it another 1". I'm gonna be putting 2" lower springs up front.
Thanks

I beleive they make 3" shackles.

Only think I can say is do a flip kit with lift hangers and lift shackles, that will give you three inches total.

I don't believe the 3" shackles will work with these trucks. I've heard there simply isn't the room. I hope that is the case- or I would have done it when I did my drop 2 weeks ago!!
Reps- what is the story? Can these new trucks use the 3" shackle? Does it matter if it is a 2wd or 4wd? (I don't think this is a thread hi-jack. If so- sry...)

When I installed my 2". I had to bend/cut a piece under the bed of the truck. In order to have clearance for the shackles after I let the jack down. Even then it looks like the shackles will hit the bed when I hit a bump, or speed bump. I found some shocks that appear to drop it another 1".

Well then 3" shackles wont work. Hangers then? But i think a flip kit might be the way to go. I like my ground force leafs but just didnt like there shocks.

do you have a block between diff and leaf?

remove it....1" there

for the 3 inch drop in rear only happens with the 2 inch shackles and then removing the lifting block.

that being said in front the belltech drop struts with the stock springs ride the best also adjustable from 0-3 inches

I've seen some shocks that are adjustable. Are they on;y for the front, or rear as well?

NORCAL SS

the front is adjsutable height.

The only adjustable in rear is the kw shocks but they are compression/rebound adjustable
