Re: help with drop
Shackles don't always give a full 2" drop. Usually a bit more than 1" but not always 2". Drive it for a bit and see if the new bushings settle some too.

Re: help with drop
Did you tighten the shackle bolts with the suspension "loaded" or "unloaded"?
All of the trucks weight, needs to be on the leaf springs when you tighten everything up.
