Default I want to lower the rear of my TRUCK 2 more inches
i just put Belltech drop spindles on my 08 CCSB, i love them. i also pulled the 1" block, an put 2" drop shackles. i have a 1" difference of being level roughly.

my thoughts are 2" drop leaf springs IF they dont ride like bricks. i also
dont want helper bags. i dont tow anything with my truck, its my DD/Track toy.

i was kicking around hangers BUT i dont really trust them being bolted on so i thought of bolting them on an bringing the truck to work an put a few tack welds on them with the MIG.

i was also thinking of fabbing up my own drop shackles to get another 1" out of them

Does your leaf pack still have the helper spring in it? Take it out if it does.
