Nope, one bolt on top, one on the bottom.

i have the same set of drop shackles...they suckkkk..

you need new shocks because they bottom out factory shocks...

i went out and bought new shocks and still bottomed out...so i took the drop shackles off to get a comfortable ride...............

They must be different on the older trucks, as my 2008 rides perfect with the GF 2" shackles.

I did not need new shocks and I have not bottomed out at all.

i used the Mcgaughys kit on my 03 with no change in ride. the turning radius did change with the 17"+ spindle. my truck doesn't turn as tight as before.

ok since it's the same subject I wanna ask...

 

I have an 07 classic 4wd and would like to level out my truck and was thinking the mcgaughys 2" drop shackle. Is it just as good to take the blocks out? Is is easier? I also heard that the rear block on my truck is 3"... if that's true and I take it out will it "sag" lower than the front or maybe i'll need a 1" block to replace it with? any help is appreciated! I know I'm resurrecting an old thread.
