Default New to me truck problems. HELP- Just joined.

I recently got a 2wd 03 gmc sierra rcsb stepside and it had some sort of rear lowering shackle on it already. I have no idea what brand it is.. But it doesnt sit level with the front.. it still has a rack to it. The block is gone also. So i was wondering if someone could measure a 2 inch lowering shackles so i could see what kind of drop it is, before i order new shackles. I want it to sit level with the front. Thanks!

Got a picture?

You might have to do more than just a 2in rear drop to match the front.

No pics of right now. That is very possible FFDP, i just didnt know if they made a 1 inch drop shackle. It set pretty nice when the snugtop tonneau cover on and i took it off now it sits to high.

Does the shackle have 1 or 2 holes??

Most drop shackles will have 2 holes, for either a 1 or 2in drop to choose from.

You wont get it level with the front with just shackles.

Back is closer to 3" higher stock
