Will I have to shim the rear end with only a 2in drop.......I really dont want to do that?? And cant you just use the stock bolts for the new shackles. Oh and I dont have a cutting torch... I think Im just going to take the hitch off.......thanks

Did the drop today... well took about 3 hours... but.... Its great looking now.... Had a problem with the top shackle bolts.... Had to keep jacking the car and lowering it to get the leaf springs above the frame to get the bolt out... but its done now and I think it looks pretty good.....

congrats! I hope it didn't involve a torch or big ****** hammer at any point. next time you will be faster! 3 hours is not all that bad. I am sure some of that time was scratching the ole head and then figuring something else. lets see some pics!
