Belltech drop struts in the front on the 2.5” which netted a 2.25 drop.
DJM 6” flip with stock shackles and Tuff Country add-a-leafs. Fox shocks. Netted a 3.5” drop in the rear.
Black Rhino Spear 22” wheels with Pirelli Scorpion Verde all season 285/45r22 tires.

Very nice. Thats about the same height drop i want. Do you mind if i ask why you went that route with the rear? im new to the lowering side so it sounds like you got the 6" drop kit and then added items to raise it?

Thanks. Yes. I did the add-a-leaf to raise the back up, it just raised it more than I really wanted. I really wanted a 4' drop. I went with the route I did, because I tow my boat a lot during the summer and didn't want the rear to sag while towing and I didn't want to mess with airbags. Going this route was a ton of trial and error stuff. I plan on doing a write up on my troubles and findings.

Default Crown 2" lower shackles



2" lowering shackles. 3/4" higher in the rear now. Looks good and the ride didnt suffer to much.

Please tell me this is a 4x4?!?!?!?! The front looks lower than mine but the math sounds about if you dropped it 2" and its still higher in the front. The 2" shackles are in my cart so once you confirm im buying lol Also did you have to buy anything else or was it just the shackles?

my truck is 2wd, all stock. I installed the crown 2" lowering shackles in the rear and its only 3/4" higher now than the front.

(I did have to cut a small section out of the bed supports on both sides to install the new shackles. Crowns instructions on this part is "cut the bed support" pretty basic, no measurement or picture's<----- my favorite. I called them and asked... The response was "its not rocket science". So while I agree, its not. Not all of us cut into our vehicles everyday so a little more detail would have been a helpful tool.)

I had a bad experience with Crown also, they wouldn't return calls or emails saying "I want to purchase parts from you please contact me back". That's why I didn't go with their kit to lower my truck.
