Lowering Shackles Question?
05-18-2011, 01:53 PM
Anyone have these on their truck? I'm thinking of using some on my 03 Silverado because it looks like a Hot Rod from the back....Pro's and Con's?
TIA!

I used them on the wife's 06 Chevy crew cab, she loves it. Only thing I've found with it, when I tow something now, the trailer hitch has to have a very tall rise to keep the trailer level.

measure it bro. measure the front and rear, subtract them and there is your answer. you dont want it to be lower in the back than the front.
god bless.

2" Shackles should bring it closest to level (the rear stays just a little higher).
