Question NNBS 2-4 Drop

I've looked but I haven't seen very many Shackle/Hanger setups for these trucks, so what are you guys doing to drop the back 4"?

A 2 inch shackle and block removal will give you 3.
Past that you need springs or flip kit.

I've been looking into the same drop. Seems like a flip kit and bell tech struts is the way to go.

I'm prolly gonna try the shackles and remove my lift block to see if I like it.

I used shackle, remove lift block, and spring clamps, and netted 3.75 drop and actually a little Cali lean (btw my sig pic is only with the shackles hence still having rake not Cali lean)

Does it look lower in the rear?
are the lips the same front and rear stock?
