So im picking up these shackles I found on C-list today. They are lowering shackles for the stock shackle setup, meaning they are longer, but they have two different positions. You can go one inch lower or two inches lower, however in my case with my handy dandy shackle flip they will lift my truck one inch or two inches! I thought they were pretty cool anyway and for 30 bucks i figured what the hell why not.

:word: I'm with bucket on that one...


...although just one inch lower in the rear isn't too bad. That's pretty close to level for me.
