Thanks! Yes mine is a 2wd so I didn't have the rear 4wd block to remove or the 4wd struts that are longer than the 2wd struts. I'm happy with the look, still great ride and the rear seems to be more planted when driving and not as bouncing as before.

I actually found a pair of 4wd struts I got for free of a new 2019. So I'm gonna swing them by a local shop here have them install my new struts or just do it wih some ratchet straps.

I will have full struts assemblies to replace and then my drop shackles hopefully i can do the full job in about 3 hours

Pretty much, didn't take any pic but I installed the rear shackles. I did get a full 2" drop but I had to remove them. The trailers I haul from work are too tall and the jacks were already dragging the ground. I had to raise it back up.

I just had mine done. Belltech lowering shocks up front(-3) with the flip kit and new rear shocks. Im
rubbing in the rear right now on turns and bigger bumps. The wheels are a +10 offset, same size as my factory stx wheels with 275/55/20 tires. I just purchased the wheels and tires about 5k miles ago and now I’m kind of stuck with them, so I’m going to trim the inside lip on the back wheel well and I should be able to avoid any future rubbing. Full motion up front with no rubbing.
