Hi all, have an 89 c1500 ext cab long bed. Was looking at drop shackles 2 or 3 inch. They offer 3 inch ones for 01 up body which should fit but worried about hitting bed. I had a 95 ext cab short bed had cut coils on front and hangers on back when I bought it. Which put front fenders like inch or so over 235 75 15's. I liked the look on front but back was still too high. Kinda want to put those on my 89 as I still have truck (family salvage yard) . I can send some pics. On another note have a new set of 31 10 50s that came on 89 when I bought it. About 2" difference on tire height so don't think I can use them if I use springs off the 95. Looking to go 3 front and 3 rear so I can still run the new tires. Thanks in advance. First pic is the 95, second is the 89 with 235 75s and 3rd is with 31 10 50s

I'm not sure how much the 95 was dropped or how much coil they cut. If I can use 95 front springs and get rear down 3 I think it'll look ok. Lmao I was younger when had the 95 set some weight in the bed and chained springs to frame...I know..I know lol. Little bouncy. Pic is 95 after bringing rear down. Would like maybe 1 inch higher to run 31 1050s without rubbing.
