Lower rear to match front - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OUbesto · 06-09-2016, 03:41 PM

I'm thinking my truck would look better if it was level.....Any suggestions on how to lower my rear 2" to level out? It is stock which I believe from what I read should be 2" higher in the rear. I have leaf springs in the rear (G70 factory installed option).

I installed a 2 inch drop shackle on mine to level it out

Wyatt - I like that look. Where did you buy the drop shackles? Difficult job?
