Yes. Even 3" shackles aren't as low as some would think. Realistically only about 1.5" maybe 2" lower than stock. You should lower the other side of the leaf pack to get a full drop.

A 3" shackle will only net you 1.5" of drop due to the "leverage affect".
You guys also need to be aware that pinion angle will be greatly affected with only a shackle used to drop the rear end. Too much will cause vibrations and u-joint bind when axle wrap occures.

James do you think I'll be ok with a 2" shackle and traction bars?
