Ok, I want to drop the passenger side of my truck an inch, but I cant decide on if I should use a 1 inch block or a 1 inch shackle. Which one would you perfer? Also, how should I go about leveling out the front? The passenger side is about 1/2 an inch higher. thanks

How is the truck lowered currently? If you have a flip kit a block would work. If it's done with shackles and hangers a block will raise it an inch so you'd have to go with a shackle to get the job done...

Yes, I already have the flip kit. I think I will go with the shackles, mainly because my stock set is extremly annoying due to the fact that it squeaks so much. thank guys.

Make sure and "lubricate" the drop shackle bushings before installation. :D

Dont worry, I know all about "Lubrication":naughty: . So what should I do for the fronts?
