Re: aftermarket shackles
you'll need spring hangers they'll lower the rear a little over a inch and a half

Re: aftermarket shackles
Why don't you flip the front hanger? It will give you another 1' or so.

Re: aftermarket shackles
the thing is that i think it is at a 6inch drop but what i want to know is if I put the leafs back on there will it raise it back up and the bump stops do i take them off also by flipping the front hanger you mean takin it off and actually flipping it bottom up
