Ok, been wanting to do a little bit more with my suspension from day one. The first thing I did to the truck was DJM 2" rear shackles. It really helped the truck out, actually looks lower than 2" in the back and stock in the front, not sure if that is because it the 1500 crew cab or not. But I would like it a bit lower. I am thinking Eibach front coils #3880.520, for 1.5" drop up front, and then I am stumped on the rear. I would like a 3" drop in the rear, so I need 1 more inch. I have looked all over for a simple-cheap solution to this. I did see a belltech 3" drop shackle #6403 but it said it was for the 1500 crew cab, but Heavy Duty models only. Not real sure what the difference is to tell the truth, if this would work though it would be great. If not that then, what? Hangers or leaf's? Only reason I am asking is that I have heard the hangers on the light duty crew cabs like the 04-05's are different. Can't confirm that though. And then what shocks, and also I will need the pinion shim kit, cause with only the 2" shackles I have the driveline vibration.

But does anybody know anything about the 6403 belltech shackles? And has anybody used Eibach springs. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated

 

I just lowered the rear 2" with belltechs shackles and ordered eibach 3881-520 the 2.5" springs I'm going for the raked look. eibach sells hangers separate for a 2.5 inch drop since you already have shackles. or put the stock shackles back and get the 4in leaf springs from hotschis (sorry for the spelling). maybe take out the overload spring for the last inch but it might give you axle wrap.
