Did the ones you bought have two holes in the top like the ones pictured?

I'm asking cause I'm not sure I need the full 2" drop to level it out, but if its adjustable for either 1 or 2" that would be perfect.

yes the two holes allow for a 2" or either 1 or 1-1/2" drop.

yup it sat the back down real nice. yesterday i parked next to a stock 09 dakota at school and the top of my back bumper was about 4 inches lower than theirs. or about that anyway. to see if i liked the way it would look i filled up a trash can and a 50 gallon drum full of water and set them on the tailgate.
