2" soon to be 2/4 drop on 17s

I'm lowering a friends truck, last night I got the shackles installed and ran out of time (started at 12:30 finished at 3:30) having to remove the hitch and work around the exhaust ate up my time.

The truck is a 95 Extended Cab Silverado. The tires are 255/60 and 275/60 on 17x8 and 17x9.5 Vision wheels. I neglected to get backspacing but when I finish the drop I'll measure it then.

My friend bought 3" springs for the front and a shackle hanger kit for the rear. We're not going to use the 3" springs, with the tall front tire we only need a 2" drop so I'll cut his stock springs and use the front 3" springs to raise the front of my truck to a 5" drop.

I'll update when I finish the drop. Right now the rear is leveled with the shackles so far I think it looks great.
