i know i hate the look of an unlevel truck with the bed up in the air..

well there is a trick (cheap one)



you can try installing a longer shackle but it doesnt help much here is the truck with the shackle installed

they didnt do much as you can see!


first i went too much i removed the nr 2 and 4 leafspring spring soo that dropped it about 2.5" / 3"

looks cool but i dont wanna lower the front i just wanted a level truck

here you can buy a DJM 2" drop coil for the front to level it out!

instead of buying expensive leveling kits.. ( not including the longer shackles)
just remove the nr 4 leaf ( not the overload spring) thats the thickest one on the bottom

NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT!

YOU WILL NEED TRACTION BARS IF YOU REMOVE ANY LEAF!! your gonna get MAJOR wheel hop if you do any drag racing or truck pulls or whatever..

With that truck, I'd have just thrown a couple sacks of concrete mix in the back and called it a day lol
