your shackle is mounted backwards. At least compared to mine and belltech's instructions.

Truck looks really good. It looked a lot better with that rear bumper when it was at stock hidth, but now that it is lowered, that bumper doesn't seem to go with the look. IMO
I mounted my shackles that way as well. They couldn't go any other way when I used the lower hole in the McGaughy adjustable shackles.
I really couldn't tell you why they couldn't be used flipped either way....

Seems to me you need to figure out which way you want to go, offroad or street. Your tires, airdam and rear bumper dont match the lowered look.

I am envious of your black your truck, I wish mine was. Looks like you are coming over to the pavement performance darkside

The color is sweet, I wish I had black also-except for the maintenance.

Any reason you wouldn't just remove the stock 2" lift blocks?

Looks good, the rear bumper is really nice, but I agree, it looks a bit odd when lowered.
Maybe take the ball out at least.

I removed the 2'' lift blocks and did a 2'' shackle drop as well... Once I sell the bumper and the airdam Ill get a Z-71 airdam, painted front bumper and a rear painted bumper or roll pan... I give it a year till im done with all the outside stuff...

They cut your bumpstops in the rear? With mine dropped like that its sitting on the bumpstops.
