Default 2" drop shackles

Has anyone put these on their truck to level it out?

I found a place in houston that sells them for $55.

Wondering if it drives good and has decent clearance?

Tons of guys use these. They are great as long as you get a quality brand. You can order the BellTech ones for $50 plus shipping at some places and those seem to be the standard. The trucks seem to ride the same, but the subtle change make all the difference in appearance.

Towing and payload. The springs are stiffer and sit higher so when you put a heavy load on it your truck isn't dragging the bumper. It helps reduce the squat.
