Naw.... Just raise the rear of the truck up to allow the springs to sag, unbolt the stock shackles and bolt in the new ones.

The airbag install was tougher than the shackles. Dropping the rear of the truck definitely improves handling too!

You'll love it....

It looks good but I don't understand why you would lower the rear of a 4x4 instead of raise the front with a leveling kit.

It looks good, but I do not understand why you would lower the rear of a 4x4 instead of raise the front to gain ground clearance. Oh well, to each his own.

OOPS Double post! And that is the second time today!

I agree...and if mine was a 4X4 I think that I would go that route too.

On a 2WD, I really like the look of a level stance, especially with the OEM 20's.
