2 in drop shackles

[babb]

I ordered the 2in drop shackles off ebay for my 05 silverado, I was just wondering if there was anything else involved other then just bolting them on, thanks in advance.

It is really simple. If you have a tow hitch, you will have to remove it to remove the shackle bolts. If you place the frame of the truck on jackstands, you can use a floor jack on the differential to move the axel to position it. I did one wheel at a time for stability.

I threw on some DJM drop shackles and replaced the stock shocks with a couple toxic shocks. I'll put a pic up soon, it looks great without that stupid "rake' look.

Stupid ?? but do I only need 2 shackles for the rear?

Shackles are all you need. You will want to grease the bushing if they are polyurethane. Loosen the front spring bolts and leave the back 4 bolts loose, put the truck on the ground and bounce on the back bumper. That will let the bushings settle into a untensioned position. Then tighten all of them. This prevents sweaks too.

 

Good Luck!
