i don't think they make shackle drops for the 1 tons becuase of the spring width..You can probably swap the axle on top of the springs but it'll require special welding and such....

I assume this is a 2WD. Dually or not? Reg cab or QC? Give us some pictures. It's only $108. I wish raise vehicles was as cheap as dropping them. Good luck.

I agree? Why the hell would you want to turn a work horse truck into a mall crawling machine that will scrape the ground when you hook a trailer up to it?
