Re: Lowering Shackles
Shackles to lower may only gain you 4" max.

Re: Lowering Shackles
My plan is to do shackles and remove a few leafs first...see how that looks, then do a flip kit if i want to go lower.

Re: Lowering Shackles
Though mine came setup with dropped shackles (converted to leafs by a previous owner) I can't really tell you what ones to buy. The ones I have, have two different hole locations and I had to move it to the lower one as being in the top hole, the spring wrap hit the bed floor. Also looked like they clearence the bed support.
