re: Silverado lowering shackle help needed

Bro we only install level and lift kits here.






Try The Mexican Board

That's the problem. With this specific year range one of the bed seams falls out directly above where the shackle and leaf spring eye meet. The seam is less than 1/2" down, but just enough so that you can't get the bolt out of that connection. They show it clearly on the Belltech installation instructions, but I'm not saavy enough to post a pic on here. It's in an awkward location directly overhead that makes it so difficult to fold/beat flat without putting it on a lift, but it is what it is I guess.

I had the frame rails on jackstands and was using a rod and hammer to beat it flat. I'm going to try to make a couple of snips in it and use a drift pin and ball peen this time. The weight of the body will def help too. Thanks.

so does lifting the front Ese

My buddy married a fat chick to take care of this.

I dont know if thats cheaper or not.

I’ve seen a few done this way and the trucks look good. I’ve seen a lot of wonky alignments from coil spacer levels, too.
