For sure those pins suck I tossed mine in the bin with my ol's as I kept my stuff to put them back in when I drop it which will hopefully be this summer

Once I get the drop shackles installed next week it should sit dead level.
Ryan, that is a one six pack job, not two six pack. Unless you count the one you drink afterwards sitting admiring the job. LoL

Removing the O/L spring will drop about 3/8"-1/2" and without knowing tonge wieght of your trailer I have no idea. I was able to tow my 6x12 enclosed trailer and VTX MC without a problem.

I will get pictures up next week when I get the drop shackles on. You really can't tell a big difference from stock with just removing the O/L spring.
