go with a 2.5 inch rear drop shackle. I did the belltech 2 inch rear drop shackles on my 06 and it looks good but the rear is still a tad higher than the front. I like it though. I also haven't had any problems with my shackles squeaking like alot of guys have with other brands.

i have seen those but havent tried them... Im fixin to order a leveling kit and new front Skyjacker shocks but havent decided on the 2" or 2.5" leveling kit... The 2.5" kit looks better made to me than the plain spacers for the 2" kit.....

ok, you have to specify whether you want to lower or lift. Alot of guys are lowering their rears that have 2wd.

My question to all you 4x4 guys is why on earth would you want to lower your 4x4. Even leveling it seems wrong. Do you use the 4 wheel drive? Don't tell me only for light snow or something cause it seems that you wasted your money. If you just wanted a four wheel drive to have one well you really wasted your money. Lowering /leveling a 4x4 is plain wrong. Four wheel drive vehicles have that clearance for a reason think about it. If you are doing it for looks i'm sorry to say but again your doing for the wrong reason. Before any of you say well look what you drive I also have two Jeep CJ7's as my 4x4 fun(not lowered/leveled). Which I built. Think about what your asking your driveline to do even leveling your driveline 2 1/2 inches can be tough on your pinion angle. Fiqure out first what your u-joints can handle(angle wise). Just because a company sells something that fits your vehicle doesnt mean it's right for the vehicle. Please think about it first because you could be hurting your truck in the long run just for looks.

1baddodge, I think that whatever someone wants to do with their own money is their own business. Why did you lower your dodge? It was at that factory height for a reason, right? Why did you "build" your cj? That seems like some wasted time and money to me. Why do you have 2 vehicles?You can onlydrive one at a time. Why do you have after market wheels? Didnt you truck come with wheels?
Get my point? To each, his own.

Another thing,
Re-mapped computer

Maganaflow TRUE dual Exhaust
AEM CAI
Crank Reduction Pulley
4.56 gears
Pioneer AVIC-N2 Navigation/DVD

Why all this....just a waste of money if you ask me.
