M.A.
The shackles only drop you 1.5", I am not sure why they call them 2" shackles. I guess it is easier to type. I have some installed right now that I could sell you when I put the drop kit on. Of course with all this damn snow and freezing temps, I am not sure when I will be able to do it. I never changed my shocks or removed my helper leaf spring. I guess if you remove the helper leaf spring then you will see the full 2". I am still pretty new to this truck myself, so if I gave some wrong info, please correct me.

Hey guys, I bought a McGaughy's 2/4.5" spindle kit for my truck used and the guy didn't have the instructions. I just called McGaughy's and they told me they wouldn't fax or e-mail me the instructions because I didn't buy them new. I know, I know, I could call next week and just lie to them, but I was wondering if anyone on here has the instructions they could e-mail me or something. I found a website that has a write-up about installing the 4/6" drop but of course the pictures won't zoom in anymore. If anyone can help me out that would be great. Thanks!
