NTMD8R_SS Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Buy a set of drop shackles, that will drop the rear about 2" and it should level it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinthegreat Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 where do you plan on getting yours at? if i drop it the 2 inches to level it out, will it change the ride? do i need to get new shocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the ride quality stays the same... Be sure to relocate your rear bump stops to the frame to allow more travel for the new 2" drop. Good luck!

kevinthegreat Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 i dont mean to be a pain, but i dont know much about it. does it matter if the shackles are for a ss or does it matter. i have only found the shackles for a regular s1500. i know our trucks are lower from stock than normal. i just dont know if the shackles will be the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) i dont mean to be a pain, but i dont know much about it. does it matter if the shackles are for a ss or does it matter. i have only found the shackles for a regular s1500. i know our trucks are lower from stock than normal. i just dont know if the shackles will be the same Nope it does not matter.. As long as they are for a 1500 short bed extended cab truck, if you are getting the belltech shackles the part number is #6400 Edited December 7, 2009 by WICKEDOWESIX (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
