[QUOTE="zombiekiller, post: 1254320, member: 25186"] Just an FYI- The shackles that I'm running are the extended shackles that drop the rear of the truck about 3/4" . These trucks seem to have a standard deviation of up to an inch when modifying ride height. I went with drop shackles for a few reasons: 1. I did not want to raise the height more than I had to. the drop shackles with +3s give me options to modify ride height without having to buy springs again. ( if I went with +2s, i would not have an option to raise the truck more without using lift blocks.) 2. I plan to run a bypass rack and go through the bed. The shackles will give me some extra down travel. I will end up limit strapping the rear. The weight that you plan to put in the bed is kind of negligible to the effective ride height. If you plan to put a couple hundred more pounds of stuff in the bed when going off-road, then you'll probably be spot on level-wise, and "stinkbug" without the kit in the bed. [/QUOTE]
