shackles wont mess with the ride quality at all. that was the first thing that i did to mine and all i noticed was that it handled better. and i wouldnt worry about the lowering of the truck ruining it from being driven everywhere...mine has a 5/7 on it and it JUST NOW is making it to where i cant go certain places. when i did the 2/4 i was still able to take the dirtbikes out to the ranch every weekend
That's a relief with the ride quality. I would only be worried because what i would tow is an 18ft carolina skiff open fisherman or a 15ft pontoon.
oh yea not a problem at all. i was towing wakeboarding boats with mine when it had the first drop kit on it. if you have the coin....a supercharger makes a night and day difference with towing haha. i first did gears / locker / blower and id tow everything ha
if i had it i would do it. I have always thought of doing some kind of forced induction especially after i met my bf. He had a GT/CS on 10lbs of boost it used to glue me to my seat (rear mount turbo). I have no where near the money i would need, it would have to be that or a jeep. Even getting the jeep is distant, i dont know why higher education has to be so expensive !
I have shackles on my truck aswell. I'm dropping it still. 2/5 groundforce. Just way to much gaps between the wheel walls still.
I just put shackles on mine not to long ago.. From this To this I had the same concerns as you at first but Like 4ctNduction said I think it rides even better now.. And Install was crazy easy..
