I'd do 3 leafs and see how you like it. I don't run drop shackles anymore just stock shackles and 2 leafs.
Brian, Can't tell from the pic a few posts up but im going to assume that your old gray truck did not have caltracs because of the hanger interference correct?
I have regular track bars but they aren't quite doing it for me

James actually made me the bars for the gray truck, I had caltracs on it, but DJM hanger for crew cabs does not allow caltracs to be used with their drop.
Are you still getting some axle wrap or do you just want to switch it up? My buddy had caltracs on his cummins, that made me not want them, they squeaked all the time, worked great but loud and annoying!!
I was thinking 2 leaves and drop keys to get a slight rake again. I run 285s so my wheel wells could be filled out a little more
No we just have very grippy road surfaces I want to take full advantage of. Our roads have lots of lava rock because that's what they pull out of the hills to make ashphalt.

The 3/4 drop is the kit im looking at. Need some experience here. 5 inchs seems pretty low. I like a slight rake and want to still be able to pull my boat. (2000lbs) Aluminum river boat. Anyone not recommend this kit? Open to opinions and suggestions!

Recently lowered with 3" drop shackles, pulled tbar bolts, installed new kyb monotubes on all 4 corners and just recently pulled the old man boards off and removed the spare. Looking for more wieght to shed.
You still have all your leafs. Any overloads ? Cause I tow 14k toy hauler and without helper springs my springs are maxed out
I dont know if 3/4 is low enough. I dont want it "slammed" like s dimes lol Like I said above I like Brians old truck but 5/5.5 seems extreme.
Don't guess I've posted the red wagon in here yet.
No torsion bolts, 20x12s 285/55 toyo at2 stock spring pack and 2" shackle height in this pic. I've dropped it to 3" shackles since pic and will be pulling the overload when I get time. Working on trying to find the shorter rancho adjustable shocks for the rear since the ones I have now bottom out already.
Still have a lot to do to get it where I want it, but it's getting there. 01 lbz zf6, not a typo it's an lbz swap.

Truck looks good! :thumb:
I had to de-lower mine. The front is back up to stock height and the rear is level with the front. I got tired of the front end being so bouncy and the rear end telling me it needed a notch whenever I pulled a trailer.

I'll be working on a airbag set up for this height agin on this truck. The last truck I had this low I had helper bags on and pulled a 40' trailer with 2 trucks on it no problem. I use mine every week pretty much towing something.

How are things working with the steering on a lowered truck? I want something like a -24 offset wheel maybe 20s. Is it possible to get these wheels to not rub on a 3/4 drop?
