Yesterday afternoon I took out the overload spring and put in my drop shackles. I had to wait almost 6 weeks for my drop shackles from the local performance shop. Here's a before and after pic, although there's not much difference it has leveled out a bit!

Looks good to me too. I see the difference easily. I love the drop we put on ours.

I'm doing the same thing on mine, but mine is a regular cab... I got the shackles on, but I haven't taken the overload spring out yet.
I wanted to see what it looked like before I did that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I think of myself as an intelligent, sensitive human being with the soul of a clown which always forces me to blow it at the most important moments." -- Jim Morrison of The Doors ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MODS: "Some so far, some to go.....

I got about 1 & 1/2", leaving the front end exactly 2 inches different than the rear.

Here's what it looks like before the overload spring delete....
It still seems higher than it should I think cause I took the tailgate off as well as the stock bumper and the tow package, so there's like NO weight in the rear.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I think of myself as an intelligent, sensitive human being with the soul of a clown which always forces me to blow it at the most important moments." -- Jim Morrison of The Doors ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MODS: "Some so far, some to go.....
