So I actually bought the clamps and took them back. I dont think im in any position to screw up my truck EVEN if most people have had good luck with them I know with my truck ive had anything but good luck. I saw a message from slammed1 that said hes lowered hundreds of trucks and would never use spring clamps def. took that into consideration. Anyways not a huge fan of takin out the leaf at this time but who knows maybe ill come around to that. However I was lookin at belltech and I know most kits are front and rear but they have this shackle hanger combo that you can lower just the rear 2" to 4" it shows a picture of all the parts included yet does not show it in thier part numbers of kits I put in 04 dodge ram and it shows up but apparently you cant buy it like that. Does anyone have some advice for me on that or other kits theyve herd of??? I do NOT want to touch the front I love the way it is. I just wanna mess with lowering the rear I didnt think it would be this much of a hassle. Thanks for yalls time and all the advice. I would just take out a leaf but I dotn haul or tow alot but when I do its nice to have as much capacity as possible just last weekend I carried 1200 lbs of rock in the bed and it was saggin but man it looked awesome just how I wanted it to sit maybe I should just carry a load in the bed everywhere lol.

I have the drop shackles on mine and it lowered some but not ehough for me so just today I put on the spring clamps it looks just right but I think I still want to go with the 2 4 drop soon after doing it I can not see how coming lose would cause any damage they only have bout an inch of space before clamping its not like your clamping 6 inches
