Default 2" rear drop

Finally got my 2 inch lowering shackes... and they are the best 50 bux I have spent! My truck looks a lot better, rides better, and hooks up better too. If you stock height guys dont have them, I would strongly suggest it... you won't be sorry!

Belltech makes the shackles... MTI has them in stock. www.motorsporttech.com
Air tools will make the install very easy, unless you dont have a compressor like me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> .

Yeah I have them too. They make the truck more level. But they suck if you put heavy stuff in the back of your truck. I need to get some shorter bumpstops. The factory ones are like 4 inches long.

i have two fierstone airbags that my dad had put on the rear of my truck so when he would hall his motorcycle around, his truck would stay level. the line to air the bags up runs to my bumper (licensplate).
my question is, can i lower the rear of my truck 2" and keep the bags on for when i have heavy stuff in the back.
