Rear Drop Shackle Issues???
I'm thinkibg about taking off my front PRG level kit and buying the rear drop shackle to level it that way. Instead of lifting the front, I want to try to lower the back. I was wondering of any issues anyone who has these might have?.?. Any clunking, knocking,rubbing, anything?

Re: Rear Drop Shackle Issues???
ive heard they rub up against the bed and youll only get about a one inch drop, not two. if you dont tow a lot remove the leaf spring and youll get a nice even stance. this is what i did and i like the look. the ride feel is the same and if you dont like it you can always install it back on and you saved some money in the proccess. its a dead even drop.

Re: Rear Drop Shackle Issues???
I think there are several options for shackles, aren't there? I installed the heavy duty Total Chaos shackles which I got from PRG. They supposedly lowered the rear 3/4", but it really isn't even noticeable. There are shackles available from that McGaughey's??? too I think, which are supposed to be good for 2" drop.
I have no rubbing issues, or any issues at all with my TC shackles. Let us know what you decide and posts some pics when you do.

Re: Rear Drop Shackle Issues???
I'd like to drop the rear for a sport truck look. Lifts are just too expensive. Which leaf do you remove? How much are the McGaughey shackles.

Re: Rear Drop Shackle Issues???
I have the spring tech shackles. Lowered just over an inch even though they advertise 2 inch. No rubbing issues and install took me ten minutes using my friends lift. My truck rides smoother since weight gets distributed to rear more. Noticable on broken up roads.

Also I have the suspensionmaxxx shackles from Ebay...had them for a while now but still haven't installed them. I am debating on doing the leaf pull now that I have read the info from the link...whatever I do I need to do it quick. It is getting chilly up here in the great AK and I need to put my stockers back on anyways, so maybe I can do the other stuff at the same time.
