i wanna go like 3/4" down to 1" MAX with a shackle. I want to throw my overloa spring in and i figure with a shackle this size i will still be level.

You guys taking the overload off the stock suspension.... How far does it drop?? the width of the leaf or more?

i made some shackles for my truck made them as long as you could make them and the rear springs almost rub on the underneath of the bed about 1/4 in gap. and it only lowered it 1.3 in which was not enough to level it soooo got old of that and i removed the last leaf spring which gave it a even lowering i believe it was 3in lower then stock . the rear is alot softer over bumps and can not hold as much weight so if you tow do not do it
