I have an 03 QC with stock 17's - I am trying to decided if I should raise the front or lower the rear. Of course price has a big part to play in the decision. I'm looking for suggestions and any info is appreciated.

2wd, or 4wd?

sorry! its a 2wd

lower the rear, with either the slammed1 shackles, or the beltech brand... I had some DJM shackles and could not get them to stop squeaking. this has to be cheaper than raising the front... even if the material/s cost the same, if you raised the front, you would need to think about getting a front end aligned to keep from wearing out your tires prematurely

thank you for the response! how do they work? I was looking online for install instructions to try to figure it out.

check out slammed1.com
you can find his drop shackles there and instructions on how to install them.

I found this.. http://www.sportruck.com/howto/slam/2.htm

gives a good pic and idea how it works.

Thank you Chris and Phil for the info!!
