Default Drop Shackle Recomendations?

Looking to drop the rear with some shackles, plus I plan to remove the overload spring. Anybody got any reccomendations?? I've read some good results with the Slammed1, however can't find anywhere I can do a quick order over the internet.... Any other good ones out there that can get me the full 2" drop?

performance accessories makes some but I think if you took out a spring it will make the truck bottom out on speed bumps and things like that. I would get airbag helper springs if you take out your spring to still maintain load capacity and comfort. firestone ride-rite makes them and there the best things i have ever done.

Naa, you'll never notice the overload being gone unless you fill the bed up with heavy loads, I presonally don't, the overload spring is just what it sounds like, for when you overload the bed... I've seen plenty of Rams that have had it done with no ill consequences...

I agree with the Ride-Rite from Firestone. My dad has them on his Sierra.... those things are nice.

I have the 3 inch DJM on mine and they dropped the rear about an inch and a half, and were about 45 bucks.
