To sum it up, no. I used my stock shackles and got a 6inch drop out back. I'm not having any clearance issues. I'm waiting on the drop spindles to finish the front 4inch drop...........Just in case "Ken" was wondering why I didn't post up front end measurements. LOL.

thanks for checking into that for me. After I posted I thought about it and the quads are probably around a wopping 7,000lbs, they are big as a tank lol, so I figured that they were stronger coils along with getting the correct drop. I don't want the dealer getting me if a coil was to snap or noticed it's smaller or something. Also, I don't want to be sitting 1/4 and not 2/4. I'll just have to pay the $85 extra on the qc kit.

Well, in that case.......IDK. I measured from the ground to the bottom of my roll pan, that was like 13 or 14 inches.

I'll measure for sure tomorrow before i head off to work.

I got a full 6 inches now, and why am I not satisfied? I think this must be as addictive as tattoos n drugs. LOL. I'm definitely planning on a full 8 inch static drop in the back, I want a 6/8 static drop. That's it, I can't take it no more, this truck's going under the knife soon as I get the funds in my bank acct. LOL>
