Default anyone runnin a 1/4 drop?

i currently have belltech shackles on my ecsb step side silvy and it still seems to sit about an inch and a half higher in the rear. i was thinking about buying 2 inch hangers and 1 inch coils in the front but was wondering if the *** end would be too low. and for reference, if anything i like the bed a little lower then the front if any difference but would perfer it to be perfectly level. and i know someone will chime in that coils ride like ****, but my buddy has them on his 04 regency rst and it rides pretty good.

dont wanna make you sound stupid or anything but do you have the leafs in the bottom hole or top hole of the shackles?...

reason asking is cause a buddy of mine did a 2/4 drop but ended up using the bottom hole instead of the top and the *** end sat much higher

and to answer your question, the *** end would be too low with a 1/4 drop...

you could move to the lower hole which will about level you out.

With a 1/4 it will sit slightly lower in the back. About an inch.

I like em 2/5, 3/6 etc. IMO

my truck is on a 1/4 and it's stance is very nice.
These pictures are almost 2 years old but the drop is still a 1/4...only differance is these pics are on stock wheels.



Here are a couple newer pics...again the drop is still a 1/4
