after a bigger fight with the shackle bolts i have installed new ones, they just got clear of the bed. i think they lowred about 1.5 - 2 " it is not near low enough, i got some ideas i will try tonight after drop spindles if i have the time !

are you going for a leveled look? if so you need to drop the rear approx. 4in with your 2" in the front

hangers and shackles or a flip kit and then bring it back up will achieve this

if u take your overload springs and put on top of the leafpack and clamp them, you will get a pretty lowred truck and not bouncy

yes, it doesent bottom out but i will replace them to get stiffer ride as i will lower 2" more in back and 2" in front. i tested my shocks in the rear, the axel will hit the frame before the shocks bottoms out, i will remove middle leaf and clamp overload spring when i get new shocks

Wouldn't you need a shock extender for the rear regardless of how low you go?
I would assume that keeping the stock length shock for the rear would eliminate the possibilities of not having the proper rear set up.
Now the front IM LOST
