yes i used 2" drop shackles and i used two jacks to do it it really easy to replace the shackles but i also removed the overload spring cause the shackle only get you 1.5" and the removal of the overload leafspring gets you another 1/2- 3/8 of an inch lower i did this all by myself in my driveway if you need any help just ask me ill direct you the best i can....you can get mcgaughys drop shackles from moesperformance.com for 75 shipped.... i got mine from tuned93 here on the forum
