Any way to get the rear of my truck down 1-2" more?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just did 2.5" drop spindles & 2" lowering springs up front and shes sitting nice and low now.

The rear was already lowered a little when I got it by removing a leaf from the springs. That was definitely not enough, so I just installed 2" drop lowering shackles. Still not low enough, looks good and i like having a little rake to the stance. But another 1"-2" would be perfect. Any suggestions? I would rather not replace the springs and do a flip kit.

Are there lowering blocks?

Drop hangers for the front of the rear leaf springs will drop it another 2".

Excellent! That should be perfect. If it ends up being too low I can adjust my shackes to the 1 inch bolt to bring it up a little. For some reason I didnt think about hangers..Thanks.

drop hangers are by far the easiest way for you.
