Just installed 2" rear drop
#1
instaled it tonight, but i cant tell much of a difference. Maby it needs to settel a little. for those that can answer, one more time. on the shackel's, the bolts should be through both ends for the 2" drop or does one of the bolts go lower down in another of the 5 holes, too many holes and not enough info on the directions.

the top holes should be used, thats 2in then 1in then stock i believe on them.
mine is in the last and it still isnt level. but it makes it look alot better compared to a stock height truck.

For the most lowering, use the holes furthest apart on the shackle. The spring should go up closer to the bottom of the bed with the lowering shackle than the stock shackle. Side by side the lowering shackle should be considerably longer than stock.

Shackles will not settle,you should tell the difference as soon as you install them.Make sure you got both sides through the top holes <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
