I had 2 1/2 leveling kit and 2 block in the rear with 295/60/20 that look awesome. But my kids started kindergarten and it was hard for them to get in and out in car rider line.
So I removed the 2 1/2 leveling kit and 2 blocks. Install 2wd struts , 2 drop shackles and added 295/50/20 general uhp . The truck now sits about 35 3/4 in front and 36 3/4 rear. Its so much easier to get in and out for the kids. Drives and rides better also to me. The 2wd struts have about 1 1/2 drop.

Here is the shackle I got.
The truck has zero squeaks creaks or vibrationsnce of 2wd vs 4wd struts
Very easy its aluminum so it cuts very easy. Used a cut off wheel and cut 2" x 6" area out of the support. It actually bends when you jack the rearend up into pry to cutting.
Awesome, I figured it was pretty easy... I just had to ask. Lololol
do you have a side pic of your truck on flat ground ? I have a lead foot grey 2wd I am lowering 1 1/2” up front and 2” out back. Just trying to get an idea. Thanks

Did it look like the struts were the same? The only difference wastage amount of recess the spring perch had under it? Which allowed the spring to sit further down on the 2wd strut than 4wd.
Rightttt!!! I hear you on that. I installed the 1.5” ground force springs from the kit onto my 2wd. They didn’t lower it at all compared to a stock height 2wd.... I’m assuming that’s because I had the bilstein 5100’s on there and it may have bottomed out the shock travel??? Anyway I ordered new 2wd stock height struts to put the ground force springs on. Hopefully lowering the front down to 35” or so, ground to fender.
