Sum 1 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I was lookin under the back of my truck and there is a 2" block back there...Couldn't I just take it out? See it in the U-bolts: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, then get the Ubolts for a 2wd rcsb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did all the other guys not know about the block, or is there some better reason to go with shackles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK04SS Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 if i did just a 2in drop in the rear on my truck, would it look more level? i want a more level look, and with a 2/2 drop, i'm kinda worried about snow up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haul@ss Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 hey bro, i was talkin to a guy with a black ss at costco and he added 2" shackles and no drop in the front.. it was a little bit lower in the rear.. just turn the torsions like lefty did and you should be fine.

stevebbb Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Just remove the 2" block, I have done this to 2 other trucks, it works great, very easy to do and rides the same. You can either change u bolts or make up some spacers to fill in the differance. This is your best bet, it's free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
