    00 Lowering the rear?

    I shold be getting a 2000 sometime in the next week or so and was wondering about lowering the rear. If you lower the rear does this make it level. Or do you have to lower the front too?

    If all you want to do is level out the truck then just get set of lowering shackles…

    Yep, a set of 2" belltech shackles on my 00 leveled out the back pretty well.

    Since then i've done a 1" front drop and dropped the rear another inch with bigger shackles. sits lower an inch all around and still level
