NEVER GONNA HAPPEN! lol but i'm taking mine off anyway cause my bed stripe just arrived at my house today and i will be putting on my AEM filter, Power wire, Sonnax Wire, superchips tuner, Hood decal, Bed Stripe, and all new lights...Silverstar Headlights, Foglights, and all other lights on the 1st of January! Exhaust will be done on the 3rd/4th of January! so expect videos and pictures of everything around the 5th/6th of January! and oh yeah lowering shackels on the 4th/5th....maybe a few day delays depending on the circumstances of weather! So needless to say before i'm even home a week its totally changed! And i'll post pictures up along the way showing how things where done and make videos on my trucks acceleration before and after modifications! so no worries!

i have the drop sackles on my 4x4, truck sits sweet, i never did like the rake any 4x4 had, but if you do alot of towing. the drop shackles might not be in your favor. dramatic handeling and easy to install. bought mine from www.canuckmotorsports.com

I took my 4x4s off and I didnt even drop it. It keeps people guessing when at a stop light and its snowing outside. I do get asked alot if its 4x4 or not.

I always grew up around lifted 4x4's and noisy tires so I would never lower a 4x4, BUTTT in my opinion dropping the rear does look nice.
