Lowering and Tires

Can drop shackles be used if you have airbags. Bags are the ones that replace bump stops to the axle.
It was right around 2" (the size of the shackles). It sits about like a 1/2 ton now. I would like to go to 3" but right now I'm pretty happy how it sits, and I don't wanna do it all again right now.
I have air bags on the rear of my truck like what you are talking about and I don't foresee any issues. I will be towing for the first time with the new setup on fri so I can let you know how it goes.
I removed my overloads and will be putting my bags back in pretty soon, there is a bit of restriction of travel IMO, I'll try to get a better idea when I get under there.
I also plan to attach a small reservoir to each bag so as to have a more linear support from the bag. We'll see if it goes as planned.

That would be Great. I'm really interested in doing this so I can lower my t-bars back down. I have a decent load on the bed of my truck before I even hookup the trailer. Airbags are a must.
Well the load wasnt as heavy as I thought but the truck pulled great and I couldn't tell any difference.
what size wheel and tire did u go with i like that combo just enough sidewall not just rubber bands lol
That looks awesome! That is exactly what I want mine to look like!!
Finally got mine done. 3 inch shackles with the torsion bars all the way down,305/50-20 tires
yessir! I love the way they look with factory shackles n the torsions raised a little but this is much easier on the frontend. Especially for those boosted 4x4 launches we all love!:woott: BBL
