shackle ?

Thinking about dropping my truck, I don't want it slammed but I want it noticable. I was thinking about a 2-3. My question is what is the best way to get the 3in rear drop? JLP makes a 3in shackle, there are also 3in drop leafs, or I could use a 4in shackle and hanger kit, then use a 1in block to pick it back up. Every option has its pros and cons, so I just wanted to get some more input.

The only reason a truck shold be dropped is because it caught too much air and hit hard on the landing.

good luck with that

I prefer dropped to lifted. especially w/ a 2wd. There's nothing wrong w/ lifting, just not for me.
