Yea I got 2 inch shackles and 2 inch hangers but from looking at the pictures of other trucks my hangers are mounted in different holes I wonder if I got 1 inch hangers instead if 2 inch ones. Will removing the overloads affect the ride of the truck

Verify they're mounted right (I think there's only one way they can go) and get a 3" shackle.

I double checked and they are mounted correctly and from the looks of it I couldn't go another inch on the shackles or the bed would be resting on the leaf springs knockle So I'll just remove the overload leaf spring
