Yesterday i finally got to installing my ground force drop shackles. They came out great, no sqweaking whatsoever. only complaint would be that i wish they would have dropped it about a half inch more

Maybe one of these days ill pull the overload springs to finish leveling it out.

Before


after


And heres the stock shackle next to the ground force.


Ground force said it was an inch and half drop and thats pretty much what it dropped it.

I installed the Beltech shackles on mine an it dropped it 1 1/2 inches. They say it cannot be dropped 2 inches with a shackle. I guess the know what they are talking about. Sure levels the truck out well.

I got mine from Brian @ slammed1.com. I opted to bring my truck and have it done since I dint have all the right tools and the shop is close to work so I dropped it off.
