Re: lowering shackles info!!!
If you want to save money you can relocate your stock hangers higher on the frame for the price of some grade 8 bolts. Keith did that on his red 87 and was very happy.

I have a set of drop shackles I just took off my truck, since I went to a 4-link in the rear. I just used them to roll the truck around. I will sell you these for $25 + freight, which I should be able to squeeze in a USPS medium flat rate box. |

Re: lowering shackles info!!!
Well you can buy new shackles or find some from the bone yard I would buy new and then get some lowering shackle hangers. That would be easier but more money. I think the hangers only give you 2 or 3 inch drop and I think most are adjustable, if your only lowering the truck in that range that would be the way to go. If you want to go lower in the future you can always move the front shackle later.
