who is lowered??
I searched through the reference guide and also did a quick search in the search option but cant find an answer to my question.. my truck currently sits at 17 1/4 up front and 18 in the rear. The ride is great but im wanting to go lower. I know losing travel will result in a stiffer ride, but I want to buy the smoothest riding set up out there and still be able to pull a trailor from time to time. I would like to sit around 15.5-16 front and level in the rear.. What size of shocks will i need for the front if I run a 1" drop coil?? Also for the rear I currently have 2" shackles. For the guys who have them, would the JLP 4" shackles be more superior than just throwing on 2" hangers instead? Thanks!

Mine is 2" spindles and no iso in the front. Then 3" shackles in the rear. Bilstien Lightning shocks all around. Its more smooth now that on the factory shocks.

L-Spec Bilsteins up front and rear. 1000lb RUSLOW coils (2in drop) up front. JLP Drop shackles set on setting 2. Upgraded, smaller bump stops.
With some extra weight of concrete bags & wood in the bed gave the truck the 2/5 drop look (even with all the extra weight in the bed, didn't hit the bump stops while driving.

Nothing rubs and the ride is still smooth. No more big bouncy like stock...and with the Hellwig upgraded sway bars, body roll is almost a thing of the past

Now without the extra weight of a full bead...Truck normally sits at a 2/4 drop

That's about the stance I'm going for. I think I'll just order the hangers since I'm on shackles allreDy, just wasn't sure if the 4" shackles were the way to go since they cost about the same. Any one have the part number for the l specs handy? Or a good ref to purchase? Also in the market for as reps like oki's.. Set one eBay is way to expensive for 22"s

Unless you have an air chisel, Id stay away from the hangars. They are a ***** to get to, being right next to the rear cab mount. It limits the access area, I did my last truck with hangars, and with a grinder, it took me damn near all day because the access sucked to the rivets. I wouldnt do it that way again. Like I said, an air chisel is your best bet if you want to go that route. Just a heads up.
