Joel Blair Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I was going to buy the Belltech 2" drop shackles (Click Here) to level out my truck but first I wanted to see if anyone had done this and what the results were. My goal is to simply make my truck sit level without having to modify the front suspension. I searched but could not find a truck that had only used the shackles, all I found were ones that had a drop in the front also. Any help and/or recommendations appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobradh77 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Most trucks are droppped 2" more in the back to lose the rake. I think 2" shackles would level your truck fine..I did that on my 94 chevy and it looked good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Blair Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Thanks for the info. Summit's website says that I should also buy the axle shims, so should I go ahead and buy them or would it be okay to wait and see if the truck vibrates after the drop and then buy the shims if needed? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTMD8R_SS Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hmmm.... I havent hear of any vibration problems whit just a 2" rear drop, but just get them in case you need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks don't buy the shims. I've got a 2" drop with shackles and no problems so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
