Shakle drop intallation

I'm thinking of installing the 2" shakle drop.
Is the intallation very hard?, can 1 person
do it?

Yes one person can do it.You'll need 2 jack stands and a floor jack.2x4 or 4x4?I installed the Belltech product on my 4x4 and I belieive there are some potential issues.One for sure is an interference problem with the bottom of the box.And secondly I believe there may be a vibration issue related to the pinion angle after installation.This one is yet to be confirmed.See previous posts.I'm taking my truck to the dealer tomorrow to see if the "new" vibration is shackle related.I suspect it is.
