Installing 2 Inch Drop Shackles on 2003-2006 Chevy Silverado/Sierra 

“Bolt won’t hassle you” as I’m here with a flamethrower glowing the thing orange just to get it out. Salt belt life.

Preciate the step by step install. I've noticed majority of the guys place the shackle with the flat face twards the bumper..

Later on in the past?

Hello, i just installed 2inch drop shackles but im getting a bit of vibration when decelerating. Do i need pinion shims?

If you dont want to get your finger or hand dismembered by the leaf spring .. it is absolutely critical to have the truck off the floor before you start!! Just want to point that out.

Brave man not using an impact to break loose the shackle bolts...but maybe in TX you don't have the rust we do! It's amazing how much just leveling the trucks makes

I've finally started my drop on my Silverado bud!! Thanks again for the help and responses definitely helped me out with it being a 4x4

Thanks 4 watching we slowly drop her down. PARTS LINK ebay.us/uGS8nD

Do you not have to get a shorter shock??? Just curious if that messes with the shocks ability to do what it does.

Man your looks hella different, my bracket is facing down not up like your I guess Ill have to remove it and flip that to, thanks for the video def will help

Awesome 👌work just found this video only cause I saw the video with the 2in drop hangers. Doing a little research b4 I drop mine I have a 95 short bed cheyenne I hate the chevy rack I just wanna lower the back just did the front end a year ago not looking to mess with it right now I'm really in between the hangers or the shackles, the drop shackles look a little easier and faster

How do you move the leaf spring around like that ? I can’t get mine to go back down

Does it not reduce rear shock travel by adding the drop shackles? A shock manuf told me if you add the drop shackles the rate of travel for the shock will be greatly diminished and thus will prematurely wear any shock out not designed for a 2" drop. Your thoughts?

Pro tip a crescent wrench isnt a hammer.

Good video! Using this to for guidance tomorrow when I put my shackles on! Thanks.

whats the front part of the leaf springs called, the part you said was coming in for another 2 inches

I’m with ya. 😂. I had to use everything I could get my hands on to get mine out the bolts been n for 28 yrs Rusty old bolts I don’t have a flame thrower glad I didn’t. It probably b n the middle of the yard as a bon fire an we would b cooking hot dogs 😂

What piece goes in the middle can u explain that to us thank u new follower

so do i jack the rear up and set it on jack stands and then proceed to do the removing then raise diff when im ready for leafs to go up?

What would you recommend to install on my 4x4 2018 Sierra want to drop the back just a little to be level with the front has factory stance so it’s inclined forward don’t want to lift front want to drop back end to level

Does this work for 05 avalanche?

Where can I buy new bolts or have part number by chance thanks

What kit did you use for the front?

What kind of grease do you use to grease ball joints

Did you use the same bolts the las one had or buy new bolts

nice, that helped the looks for sure

How can i get the top bolt off , the frame blocks it from getting out

Whats the bolt sizes to the shackles

putting the bolt the wrong way lmfao

Tas bien puños pra hacer trabajos broo

What about on an ford crew crewcab

What did u use to make it completely level ?

How's the ride did it change do you need to install shock extensions..

What brand/model are those rear shocks???

👏👏👏👏🤩

So you actually need 4 inch drop shackles to make it match the rear?

What good shocks for those drop?

Nice truck bro!

Awesome video.

19:34 I think the bottom bolt goes in through the other side.

Looks the same I don't see no 2inch drop lol

Is it the same for a 2003 tahoe?

Good stuff, just what I was looking for before I do mine, thanks from Cincinnati !

Keep up the good work👍

Thanks for the tutorial, I think you out the shackles on backwards, I think the opening in the shackle goes to the front! Not knocking your work just not sure you noticed that

What brand are the shackles you installed?

So whats the part that goes on the front side of the leafspring to give you two more inches?

Dude did you just put anti seize on a lock nut? Wow

How about cleaning and lubeing those corroded bolts dude. Poor workmanship.
