an alternative

Not sure why on one can get there head around this method of lowering the nose for a more level ride. It works ,cheap, removable, doesn't effect the ride loaded or unloaded, takes 2 wrenches and an hour of time.
If you have no options left to get the nose down just lower the truck. Mine like most trucks comes with a bit of a rake.......just remove part of the rake and you start lower to begin with, the compression to the over load springs does not change your just lower at the same rate of compression. these shackles have been used for years in the truck lower market.
I put these on to lower the truck 2 inches and raised the camper 1 inch with aluminum blocks under the springs that are sold as a raising method for trucks and I`m level. Some people tend to get excited about raising the camper with blocks at all cause they fear increased instability but the Correct Tract alignment system that comes on a lot of campers as a stock component raises your camper 2 inches with no ill effects. Of course that would work to but at a much greater cost.
The shackles $45.00, Blocks about $20.00, Correct Tract about $300.00 for 2 axles
