I figured I would update this with my results.

Here's my truck with 1 loop cut from the front (1.5"), load leaf removed (.5"), 2" shackles, and about 150lbs off the rear with bumper, hitch, and spare tire removed.. (which brought it back up a bit.)

what up everyone dont mean to throw the old monkeywrench in things but i have to include a little of my expience. if you drop the rear and you start to hear the vibration when you gas it more than likely it the ujoint binding up cause the change in the pitch angle in th differential it happened to me(remember shackle disaster), it sucked to cause i loved the 2inch drop but not worth the looseing the rear seal or trans seal, just a heads up
