    shackles is the most common and least expensive way, short of just removing the overloads, to lower the rears and yes it changes the pinion angle minutely but you get to keep 100% of your load carrying abilites.

    Super nice truck, been wanting a crew cab short bed, love them when there slammed... The only thing im not a fan of is the chrome door handles and the chrome fender flares... Sorry.

    3 things would make it look like a whole new truck.

    1) Remove chrome and badging.
    2) Lower/level the truck
    3) Cleared/denali headlights/parking lights

    Would look super slick and clean.

    But its getting there man, keep it up.

    Im sure once enough people tell you they dis like the chrome you will remove it... I have seen it happen before lol, someone on the fourm had mudflaps and after about 10 people told him they hated them, he removed them lol.... You have an awesome truck... dont take the hate in a bad way, take it as people brutal honesty and people wanting to help.

    Oh believe me, I completley agree with you guys on the chrome. I really don't care for it myself. Like I said before, though, the wife likes it on there so it needs to stay. At least for now. I can actually live with the handles, but I hate the fender flares. The rear pass. side flare is actually bent up a little from the PO. I mentioned removing them and she got snappy with me and said they would NOT be removed. (Dangit!!)

    I have to live with cheap mods on this truck for now. Any real money gets put into the 68.
