Most people I've seen with the 2" still doesn't give you true level unless you also take out the o/l spring.

You do the 2" drop shackles, then you just remove the over load spring. JusJay has done this and his truck is completely level. Unless you do some pretty good size hauling in the back it won't make a difference taking it off. If you do load the bed and you're concerned about it, you can get some air bags to help with any sagging. They sell normally for around $200.

where can you get a three inch drop and how much is it and will removing the overload spring make a difference with the 2 inch shackles
