The reason I'm asking is I'm trying to determine if I should go back to stock shackles and de-arch the spring to compensate for the lowering shackles. I've currently have the 1.5" shackles on the truck, but when I installed them I also took and 3 leafs from the stack and the truck dropped about two inches. I though I would get more like 3+ inches. As the truck sits know I'm trying to get an addtional 2 inches. My plan is to de-arch then, but I'm think that I could go back to the stock shackles and De-arch an addtional inch. Sorry this is so long. I guess my question is do the 1.5" shackles actual lower it 1.5 inches or ? on a c20?
Thanks
