New shocks arrived! Now I need to make a decision...
So i got my new shocks and I want to get them installed ASAP but I have been tossing the idea around to level the trucks rear rather than the front. I would like to get this all done in one shot! Should I get 2" drop shackles for the rear or leave it factory stance? Any advice, pics with this set up, or suggestions.....

The shackles would give the truck an even stance look. Level to the eye.

I have DJM shackles on mine, it's not perfectly level but I like the slight rake, still debating on taking out my overloads, it is a truck after all

Yea I am actually hoping it still would have a little rake but i don't have the overloads. I don't want it to look like its squatting when i tow something.
Edit: maybe i do have an overload leaf but i know i dont have the overload shocks. Is the overload leaf easily identifiable?

It's the flat one at the bottom if im nit mistaken, all the trucks have this spring, technically it's not an overload but that's what we call em

It's just the very bottom spring, its only use is for full payload.
