2" Shackles Out Back Didnt Cut It! *PICS*
 
Well my cuzin finally decided to drop his Crew Cab after months of thinking he bought the 17's Stockers and went with a 3/5 :devil: it still needs 1 inch more in the back

Why did he go back to the stockers? Looked better stock height with the 20`s or 22`s than lowered and stock. I like it lowered, but with the 20`s or 22`s. looks wierd lowered with stockers.

Actually I think it would look better to bring the front back up an inch. I installed the 2" shackles only on my truck and it still sits up a little in the back. I think the trucks with the towing package have a small additional spring in the rear leaf pack, as a guy at work that I park next to has a 4.8 ecsb without the towing package and his truck sits like mine does with the shackles! I dunno. Truck looks great tho, I love the CrewCabs!

I still think 1" springs in the front, hotchkis 4 in the back . If it saggs a little , Ill shim it up in the back till its level. My truck is 2 and 7/8 inches taller in the back . 2in. shackles aint gonna cut it for me either.

Looks like more than a 3 inch drop in the front.

yeah, I think so. both mine had the towing pkg and my current truck could sit an inch lower in the back but it looks good as is.

I am not a fan of wheelwell to tire gap.

Looks good dropped but the back definetely needs a little more. What kit is that?
