Wait, I think I've seen ur truck before.

Didn't you cut half a coil, and have your leaf springs flattened out, as well as the lowering shackles?

I remember the truck because of the metallic red stripe.

I'd thought about it, too...just a simple two inch drop on the back...but I'd have to get a new hitch for the trailer, one that rises another two inches (I'm already using a 2 inch rise to get it to ride level). Would lowering two inches change what I can haul and pull?

I know, once I get a job, I'm doing the exhaust and probably nerf bars....just not sure about the lowering shackles.

Dropped mine 2" in the rear with the shackles but that's not enough. I would do another 2 or 3 front and rear in a heartbeat if it were possible without drastic measures. I can do the front with Lowboyz but I am stuck for the rear.
