Default how low can u go without flipkit?

Hey guys, just bought a 2015 rcsb, and the rear of the truck is way up in the air.... I want to level it out without raising the front, and didn't want to do a flip kit... how low can u go with shackles and hangers? ?? Thanks for the information, ...greatly appreciated! !!

Add shackles and remove the rear lift block.

That should level it out nicely.

Start with removing the blocks and doing shackles. I would go from there.

You will have to measure your pinion angle once the truck is leveled out.

If the angle is off and you get vibrations, then adding shims should fix the problem.
