    The not a 1 time thing i totally get. I had a Prelude before my truck and i managed to have it with enough space to only fit 2 fingers under my front bumper after all was said and done lol

    I will have to see what it at my disposal at this guys shop. Taking my bed off, may not really be the best thing but who knows lol

    No need to take the bed off for the shackles. I've installed them in less then 20 minutes before.

    Yeah. Taking it off just gives you more room to work with.

    I can see maybe taking it off if you were doing the hangers and shackles at the same time, but for just the shackles it would be more trouble then it's worth. You'd spend more time removing the bed and putting it back on and making sure it was aligned then just laying under the truck swapping em out.

    Yeah that thing was huge on the driver's side. :jester:

    Bianca, there's nothing to installing a drop. Only thing you'll possibly need to have professionally done is an alignment afterwards. Any quality kit will have everything covered, and all you do is swap parts. :birgits_tiredcoffee

    Thanks Damon !!

    I think im just going to go the shackle route for now. The full drop can come after i save up my pennies. Luckily labor is free :) and hopefully i wont have to pay for the alignment either. I didnt think it would entail so much, i guess i was expecting it to be how it was with my other car



    I love how all these threads go on and off topic so easily :jester:

    No worries, shackles are cheap and easy to do. You could always sell em if you end up with a kit that comes with some more. :peace:
