Default Drop Shackles Anyone? Pics?

I was thinking about doing the leveling in the front, but may just drop the back to level it. Dont want to suffer ride quality and it's a little cheaper too.

I also have lower profile 305/50/20's so it may look better not have so much wheel well space in there.

I may put on some Bilsteins to replace the stock shocks too.

Any comments/opinions?

Anyone have any photos of their Ram with the 2" lowering shackles in the rear?

Thanks

I did mine and had the overload spring removed and love the look.
