lowering question
i own a 92 1500 long bed and i want to know if you can use 4 inch shackles on the rear end?
will the 4 inches clear the bed?
and will i need a pinion shim with a 4 inch drop in the back?

I belive that 5" is the begining of shiming- but you will need to re-align your pinion to 2 degrees positive after the drop.Jim

Changed the shocks yesterday to OEM spec Monroe, they are still gas shocks. Disappointed that the ride is still very firm, it is not as bad but I was hoping for better. Might have something to do...
