Dude.....the shackles on our truck have the two holes....one for a 3" drop (with 2" drop hangers) and another hole higher for a 4" drop (with 2" drop hangers). No need to order new ones!!!

well i'm confused then...i just ordered the new shackles today...can i get more of a drop out of the truck by just adjusting where the leaf spring is at on our shackles? aw well if anything i'll return em nd get my $$ back

and are you positive? i think that these ones are way shorter than the GF ones...

but if i put em on...you guys want me to do a how-to?

just a heads up...went and checked the shackles...i've only got 1 hole...i called groundforce & they said even if i had the 2nd hole it's not a guaranteed full 1" i don't even think i have the GF kit on the rear because i've still got the stock shocks back there & i think i've got the stock shocks up front...but WHEN i install the djm shackles i will get pics & a how-to up just because i'm such a nice guy
