2" Drop Shackles

[SCHSIERRA]

I installed my Belltech drop shackles last weekend but didn't take any pictures because it was raining. I cleaned her up today and waxed her for the first time and got some pictures.

 

I have Borla exhaust on the way, dual cat-back behind the tires 140232, and will be replacing the chrome grille surround and filler panel with black pieces once I get all of the part numbers.

Wanna trade straight up for the grille surround? I just bought an 09 sierra W/T and I really wanted a chrome grille.. Let me know if interested. Stance looks killer, I recently pulled the 1 inch blocks out of the rear to lower mine a tad. Waaayyy to high up stock!

That is very tempting. It would save me $$$ but until I know what it looks like on the truck I don't want to get rid of my chrome grille, Sorry. I also don't want to switch the grille out until I can find the filler panel.

It's a piece of cake. I did it myself but had my father in-law help me pull the hitch down and hold a wrench here and there but its easy enough for one man. I had to remove the hitch and loosen six pickup box bolts to get them installed.

 

I think the ride quality isn't quite as good, but it handles better. Good luck, hope you like them.

send me an email addy and I'll send you a picture of the front on mine. Not sure which part is the filler panel you are referring to.

Got mine on today. Rear gap on mine is exactly 1/4" taller than the front (blocks still in). I am going to have to pull my wheel liners out and trim them a bit, as the leaf rests against them and I think with a big enough bump it would crack. So far I had only drove my truck home from work (30 miles) and didnt notice much change as far as ride quality or handling....

Looks great man. If I didn't lift I was dropping.

Did you use either 1 degree or 2 degree pinion shims under the leaf springs?

[SCHSIERRA]

I didn't shim anything. I just bolted the shackles on and off I went.
