Gonna get them installed this weekend I figure. The front is staying put @ the stock level, and will probably bring the rear down 2 inches for starters.

where did you buy those shackles??? I did not know they sale those with 3 different sizes....

Keep it level! The lower the better! I had a 2/4 on my 99 then I went 4/6. With the SS I am going in the weeds right off the back!

Not true. 4/6 with Stockers is fine. been running them for about 6 months now and have on had one time where i hit what was like a speed bump in the road where it rubbed the back tires, but steering wise, and normal driving you are fine.

I think the raked look is the toughest. But I'm more of a performance truck.

Level is the shizznit if you ask me. If I could find 4" lowering springs for the back, my AV would be level. Until then I will have a forward rake.

The very excellent point was brought up of....do you ever use your truck as a truck? If so, then a forward rake is the way to go.
