I am using my shackles or 1" of drop . Most shackles are 2" but have two holes in them . The top hole is the 2" drop . If you use the second hole , it should only give 1" of drop . If you are only looking for about one inch of drop but want to save a little money , go to a salvage yard and get some shackles from an 88 up chevy truck . They are a little longer than 73-87 shackles and will offer between 1/2" to 3/4" of drop .
