can someone answer this question? I got a 05 Dodge Ram 4x4 and i want to lower it to be level and i was going to use 2" lowering shackles but i'm not sure if i need to install hangers as well to maintain the ride. Can i use just shackles or should i use hangers as well?
I had a set of DJM shackles on my 07 1500 and they did not affect the ride quality. They do have a couple other negative traits though. I don't haul a heavy load often but when I did the leaf spring would flatten out pushing the lowering shackle back and it would rest bottomed out against the hanger. The DJM shackles had poly bushings and they would squeak like mad because they were pinched into the hangers. It didn't matter what grease I used they would still start squeaking shortly after being greased and it makes your truck sound like a POS. I would have pulled them back out and trimmed the bushings for clearance but I just lowered the truck with a Mcgaughy's kit so the shackles are gone. The positive side was that they did give me about a full 1.5" drop and get it closer to level.
im looking for a set of 20" stock rims for my dodge.if anyone is selling any let me know
