And is the truck going to lower as I do this, or do I need to drive it and let it settle after the adjustment? And I'm assuming it needs to be re-aligned afterwards?
    i didn't need to re align mine i only took it down about an inch this is the bolt i am talking about that you need to turn, there is another one on the other side also

    So just turn it, and down she goes?

    Thanks man. But like I said earlier, that was right after I put the shackle on, and it has settled some since that photo was taken. It actually looks lower in the front in those photos.

    OK, guess I'll try it and see what happens. I'll try to get some before and after pics.

    Damn, I have a VHO and that didn't click!!

    Like Mean said, count your turns and do them equally. I have a full 2" drop out of mine with drop keys. I did have to get it aligned after that though.
    Gone, but not forgotten!

    I looked at them yesterday, and one is alreadly loosened more than the other. Should this be of concern? As far as I can tell, it is level from left to right in the front.

    no that's no problem one should be more then the other...the only thing about making sure you turn them equally is that it would keep it level left to right
