Drop shackle question

Im looking at drop shackles for my 72 C10 and they are listed at 1 1/2 drop I’m wondering if anyone has used them before and do you actually get the full 1 1/2 drop or not. I already have a flip kit just looking for a bit more?

Re: Drop shackle question

I had them on my 70 GMC C2500. They have two holes, one for about an inch drop and one at an inch and a half. I used the one inch. On the 1 1/2" you may need to trim the rear bed crossmember for clearance.

I did a flip on my 69 short step and it netted 7 1/4" drop. I had purchased the shackles also for it if I wanted it lower, but no way I could run them without c-notching and I would rather not.
