Re: The Scary Truck

You'll like the drop shackles. I don't remember the process I went through to get them on but I put the truck on jack-stands so I could adjust the axle with the jack. I was looking at some of the pictures of your truck and I knew something looked different I just couldn't tell what. I finally realized this, you've got a 81-87 front bumper.

Also saw your post about doing a 5/5 drop. Not sure you want to do that. The back will be higher than the front. Would need to do a 5/7 for levelness. I think that might be too low for you. If you wanted you could get a lowering hangar for the rear (since you got the shackles) and that'd give you a 4ish drop in the back. Could get 3" front spindles or 2.5" spindles to get the front level. Just a thought. What are your other plans for the truck?
