Doesn't affect it at all. All you are doing is moving the axle on top of the spring instead of under it. As long as you do it correctly it'll ride like factory.

seeings how you allready have shackels on the truck you should get 2" drop hangers. I did that on both trucks i have owned and it rode fine just bottomed out in the back alot when you hit big bumps. I put some helper bags on mine to help it out and they made a world of differance. Exspecally when i was going to pull something. The hardest part of changing out the hangers is busting off the rivets.
