Quick question.
My truck is a 97 2500LD 2WD with the 6 lug wheels. About a month or so ago I installed some 2" drop shackles to try and drop the rear end down and get rid of the really bad rake the truck had. It's still sitting way too high, and not as low as some of the pics I've seen of 1500 models with the same drop shackles installed. I'm assuming this is due to the different leaf springs that the 2500LD uses.
Can anyone tell me the difference between the two? Is it simply leaf count? Could I just pull a leaf to get it a touch lower? I don't need the extra capacity as this truck will never see another load in it's life, it's purely a street truck from here on out.
Just spitballing some ideas. Thanks for the help!
