I have heard of people using a "Reverse Shacle" setup to lower 2wd's, but I've only owned
4wd's...

Subject: DML: Rear Shackle

This is a crazy idea that I have, but, on the 4x4 version of the Dak's, the
rear hanger is mounted to place the shackle above it and the shakle is also
like that. Could I use the rear hanger and shackle to replace the ones on my
two wheel drive to lower it some? I am looking for a cheap and easy way to
go. I know that I could use aftermarket hangers and shackles, but I can get
the factory 4x4 ones for around 20 bucks and grab some grade 8 bolts for
cheap since a friend works at a local hardware store (aka, free!).
