drop shackles with Ride Rite

[RiVerBum01]

Ive been wanting to level my truck for a while now, and from what research I have done its gonna be cheaper to lower the back. I would like to put a Ride Rite system in as well. If I do drop shackles on the back will I run into clearance issues with the Ride Rite bags? Also will this hurt my towing capacity? Any help/advice is much appreciated.

Why not just remove your rear block and drop the rear down 2". No shackle mods, no expense at all and it also leaves your air bags in the exact same position as they were.

Now you are on the right track. You will keep the smooth ride and handeling this way. Honestly, unless you are trying to fit bigger tires, I think you should always drop the rear to match after what I went through getting mine level.

Make sure you update with how you do things. I might drop my front back down and lower the rear too.

If it's a 2wd there isn't a rear block.

It'll be a few weeks before ill be able to do it, just figured if there weren't gonna be any clearance issues this I'd go ahead an get the bag also.
