Re: 98 2DR 2WD Tahoe Refresh

OK -- so I installed a 2 / 2 drop kit. Lowering springs in front, shackles in the rear

I think it still has too much rake

can some please recommend a way to get the rear down another inch or two? Does someone make a 3" drop shackle

Thanks for the advice

Possibly go back to stock shackles/hangers and do axle flip.

Shackle/hanger combo? I think hangers can be done 2", & then 1" shackle drop. That's if 3" will do for you.
