Just finished dropping the rear of the truck 2" with some shackles I got from Parish.

No vibrations up to 80mph, so I think I don't need any shims.

It feels a little different, but I think it looks better. I did this with the factory jack, 2 craftsman jackstands, one 21mm wrench and a 21mm deep socket on a 2" extension spun by a 1/2" ratchet.

I dropped the hitch. It is so easy to do this way, I dont know why other people cut it.

Here's a couple of before and after shots.

 

not bad.

 

Yeah, It's a start.

I figured that after being here for a little more than 2 years, I'd do something to my truck other than change the oil and get new tires.

 

Nice. I love my shackles! Good mod to do.

 

Cheap, easy, and makes the truck look great!

 

Did you do any measurements, before and after. I did, and mine didn't drop a full 2". I was just curious if its an EC thing or what.

Looks good though, very good bang for the buck mod.

 

lookin good

 

I completely forgot to take measurements.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
