Please explain the mod for 2 inch shackles. Is it just for 4 wheel drive or also for 2 wheel drive. I had 2 inch shackles from djm suspension installed and have a vibration from 15 to 25 mph. The shop installed 6 degree shims and said that it was the best they could make it.

My dd/family wagon 2016 Lariat SCrew, 5.0, Sport package, 502a, FX4 etc
22" Dub Future with 285/45-22 Toyo Proxes, Crown Suspension 2/4 drop and Magnaflow side exit




Did the driveshaft need to be shortened for this kit?
How does it ride with the aftermarket coil springs up front? Im debating between this kit, or throwing the 2wd belltech lowering struts in my 4wd truck.
I've already removed the rear block, and do not want to go with a flip kit, so my options are limited to a lowering shackle.
Did you need to add an axle shim to eliminate driveshaft vibrations

man truck looks good, I just got the same wheels but 24, how do you like the drop? I am thinking about going with the DJM 3/6 drop from belltech 3/5 that I used on my 13 f150.

Funny you should say this...Go-on3 actually switched from the DJM drop to the new Belltech drop. This is his old setup.
