Drop the rear 2 inches.

[gmc55]

Posted some pics a hile back and some of you guy's suggested that i drop the rear a couple inches to be evenwith the front end. Could someone tell me how to do this and what all i need to buy to do it. After thinking about it i think it would make my truck look alot better. Here's a pic so you can see what i'm talking about.

Upper right hand corner second button.... That is the "Search" button Just look up drop kits, you need the stuff for the rear, hangers, or shackles.

how to drop the rear of the truck is preety simple. i just used shackles to drop mine 2 inches and it evened it off the truck alot. though you have a z71 your back might be a little higher. 2 inches will close the gap a decent amount. 2" doesnt seem like alot but everything in the rear 2" lower makes a diffrence. you can also get hangers to add 2 more inches of drop. hangers involve more work like cutiing out factory hangers, droppping gas tank etc. it could be done in a day if you have time and the right tools. i did my shackels in 1 hour 45min. bet i could have been done sooner but i wanted to make sure it was done right, and my 1/2 ratchet broke but luckly it was when the snapon guy came. i would defintly look around for a shackle and hanger kit. use the shackels and keep the hangers for down the road (Ifyou ever want to go lower) i used belltech and 100% satisfied!!!~~kyle

I pulled the 2" lift blocks between the rear end and springs on my 03 Z-71 . I used new shorter U-bolts. And it made a big diff. Just a little rear rake. 2" drop shackles after that would get it real close to level.
