2 inch shakle drop ?'s

[outerorbiter]

Hello to all first post here. Ive done the jeep thing for a while but now on to the truck.
I am planning on dropping the rear 2 inches to help level the truck out. I have already purchased the shackles and now I need help on deciding which shocks. Thats if I even need new ones, I dont see to much info on just the 2 inch rear drop. If shocks are needed I prefer something firmer than the factory ride so I will most likely change front and back. So what are my option for some good shocks? Also I read that for the install of shackles I will have to remove the hitch, is that permanent? I havent looked under yet to see myself.
Thanks

You don't need them for shackles. You just have to remove the hitch to install the shackles, you can put it back on. :D

Thanks for the help. For down the road what shock would you recommend for a more firm ride. I am used to firm rides instead of the factory bouncy ride.

i put air shocks on the back of mine to help with carrying a load,I also have a 4x4 and lowered mine 4" in the rear so shorter shocks where needed.
plus they where cheap..:biggrin:
